EDITOR, TELEGRAPH—Dear Sir :—This morn
ing dawned as pleasantly as we could delire,
the air clear and exhilerating, and the daz
zling luminary of the heavens unimpaired in
his bold brightness by a single cloud.
Reveille is sounded, and Abriffiam's chil
dren arise, breakfast is masticated with an
earnestness as terrible as the viands are salu
tary, and the faithful sentinel takes his post
to warn us of approaching peril. Soldiering
is no sportful recreation, no child's play or
frolicsome diversion. Manhood is required,
courage, stamina, decision and nerve are de
mended, and effigninate, babyish and frail is

the toils and deprivations appertaining to
and inseparable from a military life. While
the soldier's life or time of service is prolific
of cares and hardships, the declaration will
have to be modified tremendously when ap
plied to Cos. G and F of the 201st P. 'We
are constrained to assert that our lines have
fallen in pleasant places. Our martial sojourn,
thus far, has been delightful, merry and en
livening. Unacquainted with. rigor and se
verity—unencumbered with heavy duty or
rigid regulations, it has been brimfull or fun,
hilarity and satisfaction. We have encoun
tered nought to grumble or complain at. All
has run merry as the marriage belle—plenty
to eat, in fine health, fine spirits and fine
clothes. What more does a rational volun
teer claim? Marvelous as it is, all this ease
and comfort is insufficient to content some
minds. With mingled feelings of amazement
and pity we have been informed that the re
port is being circulated among our friends
and kin that great sickness prevails here, and
things are dispiriting on account of the un
healthy character of our camp. One of two
things is as certain as that seven is an odd
number, the person who hoisted this report to
the public ear is either too unintelligent to
know what constitutes a healthy situation for
a camp, or gave currency to a wilful inisrepro
sentation—in either of which cases his state
ments would be invalid and unworthy of cre
dence. We assume to say our camp is an ad
mirable and healthy one, judiciously selected,-
with a view to both health and convenience.
We have but to take a step or two to find boun
tiful supplies of refreshing spring water, and
equally as handy stand the trees of the forest—
wood and water, both in prodigality, two in
dispensable requisites to the health and comfort
of the men. 'fhe ground is rolling, which is
another swift witness to prove false the decla
ration that our location is unhealthy. The
numbers of sick of both companies is small,
and, without a doubt, half of them contracted
their ailments at Camp Couch and on the
march to this place, and the others owe their
afflictions to their own imprudence, perhaps
in unthinkingly violating home law or laws of
their physical organization, and their sickness
is in no wise attributable to the location of our
camp.' We asked the opinion of the leading
physician of this place on the camp. He re
plied, "It is as healthy acne as you can find
here." Whether intentional or not, we don't
say, but such unfounded . rumors haves difect
tendency to cast ungenerous and improper
reflections on the judgment and humanity of
our esteemed and honored Major. This we can
not brook, and this battalion would hurl back
in the face of the author, with herculean power,
all such uninvited imputations. We affirm,
not in the sickening sycophancy of the courtier
or the fawning spirit of the hypocrite, but in
the honesty of our hearts and in candid ac
cordance with the biblical injunction, Render
unto Ca3sar the things which are Ca. , sar's,
and unto God the things which are God's;
and we will add, unto Major Morgan the
things which are Major Morgan's. By his
kindness of heart, nobleness of soul and hu
mane actions, he has won the deep. lasting
esteem and gratitude of this battalien. No
bombast, no fustian, no parade, but an unas
suming, open hearted intercourse with his
men, and promptitude in business•are his no
ble characteristics. Under his kind, just and
impartial administration, we have happy,
peaceful times. "Long may he wave."
We hope this public mfutation . of the in
correct reports Above a4aded to,. will nu d e _
ceive our friends, and leaxn them the folly of
confiding in the statements of the ignorant or
wilful falsifier. Yours tor. Uncle Abe,

Iks•can the Richmond Whig, of Oct. 15th
THE DEVASTATION OF THE VALLEX.
Sheridan reports to Grant that, in moving
down the Valley to Woodstock, he has Mimed
over two thousand barns filled with wheat,, hay
and farming implements, and over seventy
mills filled with flour and wheat This Was
done by order of Grant himself, commander
of all the Yankee armies. It is only the execu
tion in part of the order to destroy everything
in the Valley that will sustain life. The fell
work is stilt going on. Now, it is an idle
waste of words to denounce this sort of war..:
We have simply to regard it as a practical
matter, and ask ourselves how it is to be met
There is one effectual way, and only one
that we khow of, to arrest and prevent this
and every other sort of atrocity—and that is_
to burn one of the chief Cities of the enemy,
say Boston, Philadelphia or Cincinnati, and
let its fate hang over the others as a warning
of what may be done, and will be done to them,
if the present system of war on the part of'
the enemy is continued. If we: are asked
how such a thing can be done—we answer,
nothing would be easier. A million of dof
lars would lay the proudest city of the enemy
in ashes. The men to execute the work are
already there. There would be no difficulty
in finding there, here, or in Canada, suitable
persons to take charge of the enterprise and
arrange its details.
Twenty men, with plans all preconcerted,
selecting some dry, windy night, might tlfg
Boston in an hundred places. and wrap it in.
flames from centre to snburb. They -might
retaliate on Richmond, Charleston, An.? Let.
theni do so if they dare. It is a game at
which we can beat them. New York is worth
twenty Richmonds. They have a dozen
towns to our one, and in their towns is
centred nearly all their wealth. It would be
immoral and barbarous? It is not immoral
or barbarous to defend yourself by anymeime,.
or with any weapons the enemy may employ .
for your destruction. They chose to substi
tute the torch for the sword. We may eo
use their own weapon as to make them repent,
literally in sackcloth and ashes,. that they
ever adopted it. If the Executive is not
ready for this, we commend the matter to the .
secret deliberations of Congress about to
meet

men, supposed to be disguised by false mous
taches and false faces, came td the premises
of John Selser, in Montgomery township,
Montgomery county, and while Mr. and Mrs.
Selser, son and daughter, a hired man and a
neighbor were sitting together in the house,
the persons above disguised entered and each
one drew a pistol, ordered those to remain
quiet, two of the men guarded the family
while the other two searched the house, rob
bing it of a gold watch and chain belonging to
the daughter, silver watch and gold chain be
longing to the son, silver watch and set of
studs of the hired man, and fifty dollars iu
money. They then searched the pockets of
the family, but failed to get anything of value,
They required those present to take an oath
that they. would not leave the house that night.
and afterwards bound them hand and foot
and left the premises. Up to going t o press
nothing had been heard of the robbers. This
house is somewhat isolated from - neighbors,
and they were unable to give the alarm that
night. This is one of the most bold and
