OEhMANIONN, ENNs Jan. IO, 1CO4
Here it is the 10th day of the new year and
the I'D still in the "land of Dixie" Since the
first of the month we have been patiently wait
ing to receive orders TO start home recruiting.
The order providing for re-enlistments has been
strictly adhered to and its requirements fulfilled,
still the promises made by the government have
not been fulfilled and great deal of dissatisfac-
ton pervades the minds of the veterans. Col
Eaton has just returned from Memphis, but
understand did not receive any satisfactory in
formation in regard to the matter.
The frozen term has passed and we have had
several quite pleasant days. This morning,
however, it isquite chilly again, with indications
of storm, either snow or sleet. The report is
rife through camp that our whole corps has been
ordered to Texas; /, however, am not inclined
to believe the report. Gen. Buckland having
command of Memphis will try and keep the
I'D with him, and his influence will go great
way with Gen, Sherman, and in all probability
we will remain here until we are sent home.
The duties we have to perform are about the
same as usual. Camp life, generally, is of very
monOtonous character, and it seems doubly so
now that we are on the tiptoe of anticipation
If we knew what our destination is to be- home
or some place else, we would settle quietly into
our place and await results.
It has been remarkably fine weather for the
last few days. The trains have been running
often over the NJ. d @. r. r. in the meantime
1t is said our forces have evacuated Corinthan
all the road this side as far as Grand Junction.
Ny information does not say why, nor can /
conjecture unless it is to use the troops in an
endeavor to open the road from Vicksburg to
Meridian, thus operating in the rear of Mobile
and Johnston at one time Such move, ifsuc-
cessful, would hurt the rebels more than the
capture of Mobile or defeat at Atlanta, for it
is evident that with large force in the very
heart of the country from which they draw their
principal supplies, and between two of their
strongest positions, would be very harrassing to
them.
Why do we not get the journal occasionally
as we have been wont to? We have not seen one
for nearly a month. Can we not have it
amongst us againf feel lost without it,

The Unionists have triumphed in the Ken
lucky Legislature in defeating the two-faced
resolutions on Federal relations. The Copper
heads and so-called conservatives are sorely
grieved because of this defeat.

went into camp on what is known as the old

OEhMANIOWN, ENN, Jan. 30, lOOO
Camp life has so often been the theme of ADLER
correspondents than your humble servant, that
perhaps in this letter | shall arrive at no point
in elegance which will enchant, much less in
struct your readers But, in reality, no man
can describe it. 1t is as impossible to describe
a camp Just it is, as it is to portray the emo
tions which fill and thrills ones whole being as
his gaze first falls upon flU camp. When the
streak of grey begins to rise in the east you can
begin to hear the hum of voices on all sides.-
When at daylight revillie beats, and you
emerge from your tent, you will see the
smoke curling upward from innumerable Chin
neys. Roll call, is shouted by the orderly as
soon as the drums cease beating, and soon the
stentorian "here, is heard throught camp as each
one answers to his name. Then comes the half
hour before breakfast which is spent by us poor
devils in washing, cleaning tents, &C., Then
comes the details for fatigue during the day.
which are picket, camp guard, wood choppers
etc.
The whole country shows plainly the desc
latng influence of war; fences are all gone, the
best timber taken from the forest for the camp
! fire. the land cut up into wagon tracks and 9TH
erwise defaced. There are but five buildings
| in the place but bear the marks of destruction.
Some have merely the windows taken out, 9TH
ers are entirely destroyed The railroad build
ings and those occupied by Quartermasters and
Headquarters, and a few dwellings are all that
can be called buildings any longer, and these
are more or less defaced None Of them have
the least show of a fence around them. The
owner of the property on which we are encame-
ed is Surgeon in the rebel army. His name
| is Mckay. His wife is living in the house in
which the headquarters of our regiment is es-
| tablshed.
Much could be written about the horrors of
this war; both in the marks it leaves on the
country and the influence exercised at home
Many brave soldier has had his fair name tarn-
ished if not forever blasted. The absence of
the true and loyal husband, brother or father has
left wide field open for the libertne, the heart
less wretch who knows no honor, admits no
virtuous principle, and well has the opportunity
been embraced. Pleasant homes have been
desecrated by the vileness of his breath, hearts
have been broken and their joys embittered for
! life. Afianced lovers have been severed by the
vile calumnies put forth by the cowardly crav-
en-hearted wretch, who sports the air of lord,
who lolls in ease at home while the injured low
er, husband or brother is in the field doing
battle for his country and a nations honor.
Iwould suggest that among the other bless
ings the nobleness and gratitude of the nation
are showering upon her defenders, the ladies
should form a society or club into which SOL
diers wives, sisters and daughters might be
drawn, and that pure and holy influence thrown
around them which would protect and save them
from the sting of the serpent which embitters
their whole life. HARDWOOD.

'sOur only child, about three years Of age, was
attacked by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed loathsome and viruleut
sore, which covered his face, and actually blinded
his eyes for days. skilful physician applied
nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any
apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his
hands, lest with them he should tear open the fes-

face. Having tried every thing else we had any
hope from, we began giving your SARsAPARILLAs

the first bottle, and was well when we had finished
the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come
out grew again, and he is now as healthy and fair

Testimony of she Martyrs.

Gen. j. c. RICE, who tell in the bloody
battle of the Wilderness, and whose last re-
quest was that he might be turned so as to
die with his face to the enemy, wrote letter
to WHITTIER, the poet, just at the opening of
the present campaign, in which he said
With Gods blessing, this win be the last cam
and give freedom to every slave 1t has, WITHIN
Gods wise purposes, required just so much delay
inst 50 MANY defeats-just so many great sacri-
fees of life to prepare this country for cheeriul
acouiescence in His will-namely, Emancipatlon,-
haan 80 - trIv ecomplshed that victory Will soon
crown our arms, and peace again bless our oei0'eU
landf" sss..zs-s5sss-za
The lamented WADswoRTH, who fell IN the
same bloody fight while heroically Leading
his division against the rebel works, IN
private letter, written just before his death,
expressed his views as follows:
.sTbave come to the conclusion that can
ever have a true peace until slavery is utterly
abolished. Any settlement short of that will only
be armstice 1t Is severe oraeat TO pass
through but we had better meet it eheerfuly than
TO leave it cankering sore for our children
1t Was long asserted by the eopperheads
that our armies would not fight if the Gov
eminent adopted an anti-slayery policy.
More especially was this allegation urged re-
| speeding the Army of the Potomac. Gen
MCCLELLAN in his political manifesto, issued
from Harrison's Landing, in 1862 in the form
of letter of instruction to the President of
the United States, gravely declared: I'm
less the principles governing the future con-
duet of our struggle shall be made known and
| approved, the effort to obtain requisite forces
will be almost hopeless. A declaration of
radical views, especially upon sldcery, acH rap
| idly disintegrate oar present armies. All
along it has been favorte theme with the
| opposition to decry the courage of anti
| slavery men. If they could be believed,
cowardice and anti-slavery sentiments were
natural and inseparable associates; the fight
ing men were either pro-slavery or indifter-
ent on the subject the army was dishearten-
ed by the Presidents emancipation proclama-
| ton; the soldiers felt they were no longer
| fighting to restore the Union but to tree the
| negroes. Such has been the burden of the
copperhead jeremiads.
Let the testimony of such men as RICE and
WADswoRTH the beloved Generals of the
veterans of the Potomac army, whom they
have followed through nearly all its cam
paigns, and whose courage, patriotism and dis
| interestedness have borne the supremcst test,
stand as the answer to these foul aspersions
Is it not probable that these men, whose
heroism and devotion are not surpassed by
| anything related in Greek or Roman story,
reflect the views of the army, with infinitely
greater fidelity than copperhead editors, or
| copperhead politicians, or even a General
seeking a copperhead nomination for the
Presidency?
