ANN.kroms; 31p., Mur. 27,'64.
Patz:vri Spy :—A week has passed
since we turned our backs, once more, on
the old t'Keystone State," and started for
Dixic.again.- Knowing, that you have
ever taken a lively interest in doings of
the soldiers,. and more especially in - our
regiment, as many of our boys hail from
Columbia or thereabouts.; I thought,
this afternoon, to letyou know something
of our movements, and whatwe have been
doing.
To ~,wo'back to Pennsylvania, the time
hung heavily enough on our hands while
quartered in Camp Curtin, after leaving
home everything seemed unpleasant,
nothing, improved; If,;:the fact of our
nearness to Harrisburg, for though the
capital of one of the most loyal States in
the Union, yet it 4s-a most miserable
place for the soldier. While there, we
were received by our old Gea., Burnside,
he came-in citizen's suit, doffed his hat
as the boys gave three rousing cheers,
and then passed along the line, greeting
the officer* with a friendly shake of the
hand, he is our leader, and with him we
hope to remain to the end.
On Friday evening, March 18th, the
order came, " znirch at 6 A. M, to-mor
row," and when we learned our- route,
we knew that we .would return to East
Tennessee no moire. Saturday morning
came, bright and pleasant, and gladly
we fell into line and marched through
Harrisburg, and across the river to
Bridgeport, where ; after some delay, we
were embarked on the ears of the N. C.
It. IL, when I looked along our lino I
' could see many new faces untanned by
the exposure of war, marching forth now
in their country's defence, and treading
after that tattered banner we so long have
followed.. Beside our old and war worn
flag floated a new and bright banner, as
yet unstained, it bears the inscription,
45th P. V., and is proudly borne by our
faithful old color Sergeant. Our old flag
bears the marks of strife, but, though
tattered and torn, it is endeared to the
heart of each of us, and when looked up-
On reminds us'of South Mountain, An
tietam, and the dark days of the cam
paign in East Tennessee. How many

comietitiiin will increase the trade of our
town. Perhaps they could tell why per
sons come to Columbia to buy lumber,
instead of going to Bainbridge, where
there is but one yard;' or why Coluni

for their boots, hats and clothing? - Our
lumbermen will admitihat Philadelphia,
being the largest commercial city in the

they would admit that the building of a

lumber market in the State, would be of
any benefit to them: We have plenty of
young men, who - are just coming on the
stage of action, -with means enough to
engage in inanufacturing, t who's prejudi
ces are so strong against the town that
gave them birth, that if they conclude to
engage in business, they will select any
place away .from home; giving is their
reason, that Columbia is no place for busi
ness. I wish to' ask this class of men a
few questions; does Columbia support
the Shawnee Furnace, 'the Rolling Mill,
the Plaining Mills, the Machine Shops,
the Rake Factory and the Saw Mills? or
do these manufactories support Colum
bia?, They do_ not sell their iron, lum
ber, nor ini - Pletneits, tO'Colufiabiatis ; and
yet they furnish one-half the patronage
of the town. tf they were all closed up

Hoyt's Hiawatha Hair Restorative.
The standard staple preparation for the
hair, warranted in all cases to restore faded
and gray hair. and whiskers lo,their ori
ginal color; ' -It does not claim to make the
hair grow in where it has once fallen out ;
nothing will do that whatever may be ad
vertised to the contrary, but it will prevent
it from falling out, mile it soft and silky,
cleanse it and the scalp from impurities
and humors, and entirely overcome bad
effects of previous use of preparations con
taining sulphur. sugar of lead,&c. It re
quires no soaping, washing, and hours for
its application, nor will it stain the skin,
but is as easily applied and wiped from the
skin as any hair dressing. It restores the
natural shading of one hair with another,
which gives a lively appearance instead of
the dull uniform black of dyes.
