Dear are remembered pleassres-dear the kiss
That modest love first snatched from lips untsined.
Dear bOyhOod's homes and haunts the friends miss
whose names the marble bears, whose souls are
saiEted;
But dearer far than tnese, than all Wis,
That rosy fancy e'er illuminated,
Are thoughts o. tender hands and loving eyes
To the brave soldier in his agonies.

EDITOR UNION REcoRp-Dear Sir: As
was expected when last wrote, our Company
as escort to General Mason, took up the line
of march on the 1st instant. General Mason
and Governor Goodwin, with their attaches
and train OF twelve wagons, left Drum Bar
racks for Prescott, A-izons. on the same day.
The distance to this place is 302 miles. We
made The trip in fifteen days, arriving yester-
day morning just before sunrise. The last
four days, on account of scarcity of water, We
travelled iu two de,schments, and on account
of the heat on the desert travelled mostly in
the night About $50 miles of the last end
of the trip is truly desert, without even an
oasis to cheer the stomach Of horse or mule.
We are now having as hot weather here as
you will ever find in Butte county. and as.
sure you the hottest part is yet TO come. The
Colorado river is beautiful stream, and is in
creasiDg its volume daily. There are five
steamboats, plying on the river between the
this Fort is an excellent one, and surrounded
BY most romantic scenery. Mountain raoges
with their steeple shaped peaks surrounding at
distance on the west. north aud east, give 10
the lover of nature desire to explore the re-
gon beyond. The Gila river comes into the
Colorado in sight of the Fort. Our route
from this place will be up the Gila. We shall
probably leave here by Monday, the 22d.
(P. S.-We have been ordered ready 10 march
on Saturday, Goth There are some eight of
our men lying in the hospital at present-some
Of them having been sick when we left Drum
Barracks and not able 10 ride on horseback
only few days on the trip. Those who are
not able TO ride a horse when we leave here,
or likely to be able to do so soon, will probably
be left here for the present. From this place
we shall be in the country of unfrendly saw
ages, and, although we shall pass among some
friendly tribes, to wit: the Maracopas and
Pimos, still the Apaches roam over the entire
route and will be considered the object of in
terest.
We have scarcely heard any Atlantic or
other news since we left Drum Barracks. The
progress of peace at home or war abroad We
have but little opportunity to learn. We 6nd
very little pastme in being an escort, however
much of honor there may be, and you may
put the honor in your eye. The unwritten
part of our history is the more interesting if
you could be permitted to set it in type-a
privilege which you will probably have at
some future time. Things are checkered 10
some extent and the warp and filling will fud
their way into the loom together one of these
days without wonder | cannot say when
you will hear from me again. Our next stop
ping place is supposed to be Tubec, twenty
one days travel distant.
