Thos. Welsh is the able an popular commander. With this regiment I have been connected ne chaplain, since it w. 1.4 mustered into the service of the U. S. In regard to the gentleman coo-mandint: the Regiment, there is no need that 1 should ray anything to the citizens of Columbia and vicinity, by whom ho is so universally re spected. As a commander ho is indeed a strict diseiplinarian, but is as universally beloved by his regiment, as he is respected. lle possco•es two finalities which are essen tially neceesury to a successful military commander, namely: that while he is ex ceedingly affable, and readily approached by the most obscure person in the ranks, at the same time commands such respect, that the slightest intimation uf his wishes is at once regarded. Obedience becomes as much the pleasure as the duty of the soldier. So commanding officer could be more concern ed for the comfort and health of his soldiers. When the government delayed, or declined to furnish stores for the private? tents, Co'. Welsh ordered them on his own oredit, un til such time as he could be repaid by the soldiers themselves, on receiving their pay from the Government That every tent was not furnished with a stove before leaving Fortress Monroe, was ()win to the tmavoid able delay in any private establishment manufacturing so large a number as were required, 14 a limited time. As to the other field and staff officers of the regiment, it is perhaps sufficient to sty that they are worthy of the positions they occupy. Lieut. Cul. beaver, though quite a young man, is talented, energetic, and persevering, eminently imbued with the spirit of the profession; and should he choose to continue in the public service after this war is ended, and his life be spared, must rise to the highest positions in the army. As the health of a Regiment is always an important consideration, peculiar interest must be felt in regard to the medical depart ment of an army. In this respect also, the 4th Regiment has been highly favored.— Dr. Geo. L. Putter, the chief surgeon of the Regiment, has been fur more than fifteen years a practicing physician in Bellefonte, Centre County., where, and throughout the County he was highly esteemed as a suc cessful physician and surgeon. being second ti nn other in the County. Of Dr. Christ, the assistant surgeon, the writer has not the advantage of the same knowledge of his pre cious history before joining the regiment.— But he served in a similar position to the one he now occupies, in uncut the regiments a innected with the three months' service; and it is perfectly evident that he under 'Stands his profession, and has the qualities requisite fir prompt and energetic service, should circumstances require the exhibition of these attlibutes Ar to all the company officer; CHlnected with the regiment, there nut one that in not hi perfect rleni.ut in his manners and All :or is eii in I aural in a unmiu.il degree, With a milimry bearing Which at iinee inlie.tte, their tiN Inv their posi tions. There is no t IL prnt - ane, tippling. gambling officer am nog the wli No number. Nut a word will be he u•d fro n any of them, 01 any nemininn, Which ouuld offend the in wt delicate ear. And now, what sh all I say in regard to the pi ivares of the regiment? lam almost afraid too state the facts in reference to them as I believe them to be true, lest I shall be sospeeted of a disposition to exaggermium I will not say that we have no profane men, and none of vulgar speech in the regiment: fir there are, or have been too ninny of this character; but I will say, that we In rye few er profane an I vulgar men in the ;15th Regi ment thin there are in any other regiment in the service. Aml t ;a: number of tbow who are given to profane swearing,. are emi t nually decreasing. the good ex.rmple of the tolli era, and the 'majority of in mai men in all the eompanies, serving as an habitual restraint un those who had heretofore cc quired the vile and offensive habit. Ai be f ore stated, I have been connected with the regiment ever since it entered the public ser vice, and I hate yet to witness the first in starlet. of drunkenness in any one connected with the Pogiment. A gentleman who vis ited the regiment while lying at Caton Ilam ilton near Fortress Mownrow, and remained with us all .ast of two days, and all of two nights, stated the fact to ice as remarkable, that he heard more profane and obscene language in passing may through other camps in coining to ours, than he had heard during the two days and nights which he had spent in the camp of the 45th. No gambling, not even card-playing fur amusement is permitted in the camp. When I left the Regiment on last Thurs. da: afternoon, it was just breaking up camp and preplrir.g to start fur Port Royal. S. C. In compdoly with the 7Gtb Regiment I'. V., it did set sail "or the South on that evening or the next morn:• - og, and is no doubt now at the point of destination. The regiment has the prospect ul wintering in a very pleasant climate; and perchance of some ac tive service. which soldiers aler3ys contem plate with pleasure. I had alums' forgo:- ten to speak of the health of the regiment. which at the present is comparatively good While encamped at or near Bladensburg, Caere was an unusual amount of sickness, proceeding from two causes The first and principal cause, was the un- wholes oneness of the location of the camp, surrounded o I till sides by marshes and I stagnant waters, from which offensive efflusia arose, ens eloping the camp, during eta night is dense fags: the second cause. was, the long !marches which the Regiment, ; iu cunnecti on with the Irrigate to which it was then attached, were own pellet! to make into some of the l o wer counties rot Maryland the week of the election, for the purpose of guarding the polls from the assaults of the Secessionists. The regiment one day march o I Itcenly-seclq Jai/el. carrying, their guns and knapsacks; and repeated the same ex ploir 0.1 their return.

Tho 45th Regiment never was altogether fell; tl, it is. all the companies composing the Itugiment had not the complete number which the law requires. .And the numbers have been constantly diminishing by sick ness and death; thou4h the mortality has n it been great, perhaps not much, if any greater than among the earns number of persons at home. When we left Camp Casey, sonic twenty patients were left in the hospitals at Washington; and some will have been left at Fortress Monroe. About 120 recruits are required to fill up the regi ment. I expect to return to the regiment in about two weeks, aad would be glad to take with me some recruits fir Captains Rambo t Baines' companies. Now is the opportunity for those who wish to have the honor of taking part with their country in this war. The names of such will in future history stand side by side with the soldiers of the Revolution. Besides, the rewards in bounties and in lands will hereafter be con ferred on those who now enlist and continue in the session, as upon those who engaged at an earlier date. Indeed, the great battles of the government are yet ti, be fought, and the victories gained. Battles are to be fought of such magnificence as to honor and results, that fifty years itter this, your chil dren will esteem it their greatest boast to tell that their fathers were participants in such great events. Many thiplt that this war will be brought to a closeby next spring, or before the 4th of July. God grant that it may be so; bur if so, those who would share in the honors and rewards must make no delay. 'NOW is the time to enlist, and n 3 regiment (Aron so many inducements to the private soldier as the Cith Rag. ea. Vol The character of the officers, and the moral habits of those who will be their companions, all combine to give it a superior reputation with all who are acquainted with the regi ment.

Ia the meantime I go to Centre County, partly to procure recruits fur the companies from that region, and partly carry home to the families of soldiers a ‘ery large proportion of a payment which they received from G tvernment the day before I left the Fort.

What with drill, guard duty, reviews aud foraAing expe litions, we get uver so much ground that Gdvermnent will certainly be compelled to make 114 an extra alhnvance fir she.. le:Wier I believe my IllSt dated back to sotnothlriP previous to the Grand lleview—an event from winch we have reckoned recently.— That was a "big thing." surely; bat you have read all about it, su I won't inflict any a'tempt at description. For ear share in the display—we headed the column, and I earned our distinction by the longest march ! of any regiment on review, we having the ebtreme right of the army south of the Po tomac. It, was considerable of a tramp, but the marring was TA and tho roads good, and we oriole in intact. We had as full a regiment on the ground as any other; and made as creditable appearance as any, we think. We got back to camp in goo I tine, with an appetite for our hog and hard broad. Since the review wo have worked along steadily—no great variety, but plenty to do. The pleasantest little episodes have boon the arrival at sundry times of boxes of home prog, forwarded to the bays. You should have seen the eyes glisten and the mouths ! dilute to make room fur a slice of borne-1 made butter spread thinly with cracker:— You must come into the army if you want to appreciate home fare, and experience the u measure of gratitude fur home kindness. Lwt Monday we were ordered to have! two drr;s' rations cooked and packed, and I forty rounm. or buck and hall cart ride (Tom Wilson issued the o:der to his squadron of irregular cavalry 'lorry days' rations and one days' buck and bail") ready fur march at 7 o'clock on Tuesday m o rning. We were ready to the minute, and started on a fora ging expedition, meeting with good success —at least we tilled all our wagons wiOr hay corn, :rats. &c. How much we gathered I did not learn. You may venture a little wager that Q rarternmster Evans was in fur one chance with his team—he always is.— I iVe saw but one rebel, whom we took captive. Ile was overcome by two cavalry men—the General's orderlies, I think. Secesh was mounted, and put bloody spurs to his old hones, but Unale Sam's horseflesh was too staunch for the geeing frame and over ! hauled him. Neither man nor hum was much of a prize—the human was one of your half civilized Virginia corn crackers, looking unnatural from the interference of the war with his staple herring diet, and the steed would have put brother Pin's old star ! gazer to shame. Of course we all got brick safely froln our expedition. Sumo two weeks since we received a lot of woollen sucks from the ladies at home, for which the donors will please nccept the thanks of the company. The FARMER found one pair marked for him, for which lie makes profound acknowledgment. Ile begs the fair knitter to receive his most kindly wishes for her health and happiness. I was in to the city a few days since. and on my return met on the road some of my old farmer friends and fellow tillers—Abe and Martin Mellinger. to wit, who are wag onmasters, and encamped on 21st street. I also saw some of the original Cookman Rangers—Bub Connelly and others, who are now wagoners. We occasionally obtain a glimpse of a Colombian. To-day Philip Fry, Eeq., took hit beef steak and onions with ue, and quite congratulated hitnsalf 0-a the appetising ef fect of the country air, until be baheld our undiminished capacity for slows:lye lung af ter he had cried "gentry!" We have no idea yet what disposal will be made of us this winter, The reports tly thick and fast, but there is no use in believ ing any thing you hcar o and itrequires ablind confidence to have faith in more than half you know. lam glad to see that the Forty fifth is on the right road fur work; but from the letters in the Spy I remark that they are almost as much in the dark at to their future movements as we are. It is drawing fast towards Christmas, and the boys begin to hanker after a few days at home; but I fear it will be hard work get ting off. I will write again whenever I can get ma terial fur a letter. FORTRESS AlicitoE, Dec. 4th 1861 Dram Cry:—l am glad t find by your back numbers, come to hand, that my scribbling has all reached you duly. My last is probably in the hands of the composi tor by this time. Since writing it has been definitely established that our destination is, as we have been well satisfied fur sumo time, Purt li. yal, South Carolina. Several steamers from New York were sent here to take us south—l have already mentioned the Cosmopolitan, Delaware and Boston, of the Poila. and New York (via Cape May) line. These laid 'here several days, but General Wool consaterel the last two nut staunch enough fur transports, and refused to order us aboard. The old General is determined that nu troops shall be wrecked through negligence of Lis. Ile expects a large steam ship here within a few days, which will carry two regiments. I cannot speak two highly of General Wool. Where he cuminanCs, blun ders will not be cum witted—he knows what he is about—an I the welfare of the troops will ho looked after. We should be feel well s tti-fi.td under his cata.nmand during the the war; but he may art receive a fair show —he is probably tun honest fur this day and generation. Yesterday morning we were aroused by a t2rrifie cannonading—apparently close ut hand. Oa inquiring 1 could only learn that two or three of our tugs had engaged t`le Rebel steamer "Yorktown." The fight was a short distance above Newport News, and lasted two hours. u•ual, nobody hurt. In looking over my correspondence I find that I have umtecountably omitted one of our Colonel's "Blue Front" acts of justice. When we left Harrisburg we were eneuin bered, under the Col's earnest protest, with a Saltier. The worthy into filled his posi tion very respectably, until the eintanoina ting contact of his ‘Vashing,ton brethren— old stagers—or possibly the deleterious quality of atm }sphere surrounding that city (the circuntambient of our Nationul Capital must be supplied by a company, like Gas and Water: Nature would never turn on such an article), soon cam noticed to pro• duce legitimate conseciences. The Col heard of extortion having been practiced, and one day happeuel to pars when the inou ipohst was charging a p nor fellow 75 ets. for a point lof Congress Tobacco. Ile im mediately change. I the line of sentinel , . bringing it between our camp and the sulter'.y teat. N man passed that line, and the dealer in notions after vainly waiting two days for a customer, beg to to re tlize that the decision of the Curt was final, and pulled up stakes, leaving fir Harrisburg; probably to lay his lamentable case before the (3 tremor. We have no drunken men about There has been but one flagrant case of in toxication since we left Ilarrisburg—John &sgrove, of Lancaster, Corporal in Coin pony K. (the only Lancaster man in the regiment, by the way). Tu make a frightful example of him he was deprived of his arms and necoutrements, stripped of Iris over -coat, blanket, and figure 45 and letter K. Cc , and turned adrift in Baltimore. He follow al us to Washington, and there cooling into the neighborhood of his late Company, Ser• geant MeCann with ten men were set upon I him at charge bayonets. They chased him three squares. He has nut been heard of since, nor has there boon :toy drunkenness. as I have said, in the regiment. When about embarking at Bahia] ire. Col. Welsh announced to the captains of companies that tiny drunken man venturing aboard the boat should be driven off or thrown over board. 21"ot a man took a drop, and our en tire regiment marched aboard sober—a state of affairs which excited considerable sur prise in the immense crowd of spectators, and brought forth no slight measure of 'cum pliment and congratulation to the Colonel. Friend Spy, I know it is a good thing to be long to a sober regiment. Hampton Ittiads is full of vessels. The mplen,liti steamers Minnesota and Roaneake are lying in full view of our camp. Gun boats of every size and armament, are an chored all around. Yet, withal, everything is quiet: we only get news through the Philadelphia and New York dailies, and the Spy. We are looking anxiously fur the. Pay master. Our boys need money to send home, and I hope we shall be paid off before leaving for the south. Although we are dead-headed, it is ill traveling with an ea tirely collapsed pocket book. Stoves have been ordered from Baltimore for each of the tents in the regiment, and we expect them in a few days. Even in South Carolina, where we have to live un der canvass a stove will be a comfort. We have the large Evans Potent Tent, each one holding sixteen men. With a stove in the centre no more comfortable quarters can be found. We received three recruits to-day, all the way from Tiogn. county. They went to Camp Curtin and were there uniformed, equipped nod forwarded to the post. If any or our Columbia boys desires to join us they have but to apply to Cul. Joseph D. Putter, llarrishurg, who will furnish them with everything except arms, and forward them to the regiment, hero or at Port Royal. If we ohall bare left here before any arrive, they will be forwarded. We noed about one hundred men, and I really think Co lumbia and neighborhood should send us twenty-five or thirty good men. I will let you know , when the order ar rives positively to move. FORTREAS MONROE, Vi., Dec. 5, '6l DLitt Spr —When I wrote yesterday I did not thigk to send another letter so close upon the heels of m.y. lost. The order has come, however, to move southward. To morrow morning at sunrise we embark for Port Royal. Companies 4,0, and C, un der command of Lieut. Cul. Beaver, go on board the steamship Illinois. Col. Power's 78th Regiment is already on board the same vessel. All the other companies of our re giment with the Colonel, Staff and Band, go on board the fine new steamer Cosmopoli tan. It will require about three days to make the trip. I will write on our arrival at Port Royal, or any other port. You will please send the Spy to Port Royal, South Car °lna. Tell our friends to direct our letters to the same place. The paymaster arrived yesterday morning and paid us yesterday.— The Colonel was very strict—would not per mit any of us to go out of camp or to play cards in camp; would not permit apedlars to enter our lines, (and they were on hand in droves—had no doubt followed the paymas ter all the way from Washington); the camp guard was doubled. The boys finding that the Colonel would nut permit them to spend their money, wisely concluded to send it home. About $25,000 was disbursed to the regiment: I think full $20,0U0 was sent home. Company K forwarded by Adams k• Co's Express nearly all they received, scarcely keeping enough for tobacco. Our excellent Chaplain, Rev. Wm. J. Gibson, D. D., and Major J. M. Kilbourne, started home to-day un recruiting service. They carried home large sums of money to the famihes of our soldiers. Dr. Gibson will probably visit Columbia at an early day. We have had some promotions in our regiment of late; Sergeant Abraham Gra fins of Company B was appointed 2d Lieut. la 2d Infantry 11. S. A.; Sergeant Wm. W.

Routh, of Com pany B has been appointed Regimental Commissary Sergeant, and Sergeant H. IL Benner, of Company B, Sergeant Major of the 45th. Godfrey Hunter has been ap pointed hospital Steward; so you see we have had some changes. I will try and send you a corrected of our Regimental Field and Staff Officers at an early day. George S. Dyer, of M trietta, (Co. B,) has been ap pointed Drum M tjor. (I neglected report ig his name to you, as it should have been o m the first list sent you.) Thomas L. Grant, of Sunbury, is the leader of our regi mental band, consisting of 18 pieces. We hate an excellent band; our drum corps is rapidly :requiring perfection. Compaimy K's drummer, Roberts, although the smallest is one of the best tenor drummers in the corps. Oar stay here has been very pleasant, still we are anxious t.) be off; time ha'.fits of a s diner are migratory, always looking for a better camp. We hope soon to let you hear from us in South Carolina. It is said that South Carolina threaten to raise the black flag an•d give no quarter: lot them attempt that and South Carolina will soon cease to exist—the miserable devils must remember that two can play nt that game; and that oar men aro only too anxious to finish up toe war by a general extermination of e. , erything claiming 2u be of South Carolina origin.
