There are few men. in this regiment who
have not scanned the military horizon and
fixed the objective positions fOr the spring
campaignasT They. have watched the mass

conyenientplacssi and, when the march is
made, the confsderacy viii fslL The rsb-
els hAve no power to stay us-they will be

Suceor is At hand but how slow It comes.
With many OF you patriotism has dWindled
down to 3 matter of dollars and cents,
Vslor is shown by the amount of green
backs you can raise and the number of
worthless substitutes you can shove into
the market. Bounty Jumpers, invalids
and blacklegs are bought and sold and
before the draft comes of you rub your
hands and athank heaven that your
quota is full" You complain that. 50
many men are called for, and yet
you know that not more than one in
ten reaches the front. If you would send
good sound, healthy men, and men of prin-
ciple, who would take up. the sword and
hold tc it, your bounty expense would be
much less and the calls for men few and
far between. You tie up your hands and
then groan at the cost. For once let the
old war cry ring through your streets. Put
little spirit in your words and acts and
renew the shouts ofI'6I. Gather around
uS with hands willing TO set, and hearts to
face the dangers Of camp and field, and
before the next winters snow is on the
ground We will al 60 homo together. The
Confederacy will exist only In memory and
the fancor which rometimes rises in the
| heart of the old soldier will be forgotten.
Weare snugly housed In winter quarters,
and the health Of the men is excellent.
Present with the regiment We have four
hundred men for duty and ready for action.
When the bugle call sounds forward, We
Eill move onward IS cheerfully as when
last spring We left Washington seven hun
] dred strong, and will charge ss quickly as
when In the campaign through the wilder
ness, before Petersburgh and In the val
| ley Of the Shenandoah, we rode down the
opposing ranks Of gray and struck the foe
with strong srms and willing hearts. Our
numbers are small, butWe have gained by
experience. Raoh day when The Whrl OF
battle was over, We were weaker and wiser.
Some of our Losses have been gains. Men
have sported commissions IN cities, and In
camp, but never permitted the noon day
sun 70 shine upon their straps, while the
regiment and companies Of which they
were officers were in action. Many OF
those men hsYe besn mustered out, and
sre now enjoying the more congenial at
mosphere of private life. ---z
