CAMP NEAR ALEXANDRIA, VA>, I
MAY 18. 1865.

Dear Ed,tors:--From the 209lh Regiment,
Pa. Vols, wonld humbly ask for a small
space 10 your valuable paper, TO communi
cate TO your readers, the bes, can, the
present condition of our boys, especially
those from the Oil Region.
We are beautifully encamped upon the
heights of Alexandria, with a fair view of
Washington, the borders of Maryland, and
the Potomac, and in the latter The soldiers
lose no spare time 10 bathing, fishing, &c.
When we first landed al this poinl.the boys
were all of one mind; iha, pitching tents
with Us had played out; but three long
weeks have already elapsed and, with one
or two exceptions, finds us doing the same
duty We were called upon 10 perform while
in he front. Every heart seems painting,
and waiting with all patience the orders
10 fall in for home. Every move that is
made by the officers or army is closely
watched, and every paper that is allowed
TO visit our camp is thoroughly examined
hoping 10 find in it some encouraging news:
and even. our thoughts return and tell US of
taking Forts, climbing works, and cutting
our way through double rows of aba,iis,
amid showers of grape and canister, after
which we feel as though the air had chang
ed lis odor. The boys fought nobIy, though
pressed hard by times, they neither spared
Derve nor courage, till the enemy were
driven back, The victory won, and the field
covered with The elemy's dead. Though
We were scaled but liiIIs by the enemy's
balls, yet God in his Infiule mercy saw fiji
TO take from our ranks, by disease, six OF
our comrades 10 himself ia Heaven. One
brave and noble hearted soIdier-WilIiam
Thomss-who fell OF wounds, from our
ranks al Petersburg, was carried to the hos
piIal aud soon died. We all feel lha. We
have lost friend. and deeply sympalhize
with The bsreaVed wife aud mourning rela.
iives. He laid down his life upon works,
which were afterwards taken by our boys,
bai surprised the world and formed a new
esf IN history never 10 be forgotten.
The only conversation in camp is home
and ils cares. Fearing that have already
encroaehed upon your space too much,
will close, hoping the time which seems
visible TO Us may be close at hend, when
we can return 10 our homes 10 enjoy free
American citizenship which was so dearly
bought. Yours, with respect,

MILITARY TRIkLs.-The trial OF Booth S
alleged accomplcies by court Martial, is a
continuation OF that fragrant violation of
civil government and Constitutional law
which has disgraced on, history for The last
four years. These men were all civilians,
and could just as legally be tried before a
court in Russia or Liberia, ss before Militia,
there ever was a necessity for a differen,
course, when all crimes agains, the civil Law

The ABsuRDlTY Of Republican reasoning
was never more sIaringly exposed than il
has been by recent events. After President
Lincoln was murdered a certain class Of
radical Republicans professed to believe
that il was Gods will, because of bis (Lin-
coln'sl leniency toward Lee and his army.
But President Johnson, Judging from the
terms granted The rebel Gen. Johnson and
his army, which are precisely the same as
those granted to Lee, appears 10 be follow
ing in the footsteps OF his predecessor, and
hence, We must conclude, according to this
radical theory, that Gods plan for the pun
ishment OF the rebel leaders has failed -
Besides this, If it was God that done it, then
why kill Booth and arrest his associates a.
Would they punish Gods instruments =
