June, 5, 1865.
DEAR. SIR : I had thought of writing
you again before this, but circumstances,
bard marches, and the hot weather have
all combined to hinder me. ,I . believe I
wrote you from I3arksville,Va.,last.
camped there some three weeks and then
early in May took up our line of march
for the land of loyal men and civilization.
I need say!nothing of it until we arrived,
at Riohmond, except that the route we
took showed fewer signs of the desti ac
tion by the war than, almost any other I
have seen, the - whole; country, (and it is
.'a beautiful one), being in crops or under
preparation for them ; wheat and corn
predominating. :The breadth of wheat
sown ill+. very great and looked fine; and
respect was shown for it by not injuring
it of the fences silica protected it! Many
of the people had camp, out from their
holes, and quite an air of life was dis
.played, yet but little courtesy was shown
by any of_ them at any time. Wo occa
sionally, crossed our lino of, march. and
Lee's retreat to Clover Hill, and hero all
the horrors of war appeared. Amelia
C. 11. is a beautiful, and reallyhandsome
hamlet, comprising a marble Coact Ilouie,
and a few very fine residences on slightly
rolling ground ; but the hest and ght`ddest
eight of all Was the rcina'.ns of 200 pima
of Lee's artillery with some 200 tons of
ammunition lying scattered and in heaps
around—powder shot and shell—whieh
we forced him to abandon and burn on
the Gth of Arnil.
I •
Noon of MaY sth brought tie in sight
of Richmond, camping over night at
Blanchester, across the James. We were
to make a triumphal march through the
Rebel Capital,.at Company front, the next
day, but I believe the triumph was with
the few; score of frewning Rebels who
witnessed it, with the few hundred. dark
: ics their neighbors. If our commanding
officers. only could consider and feel for,
the mail I .The day y - as close and hot,
and too much bad whisky leading us.

town Of Richmond, on .the hold pave.'
meats, heavy marching lig, at a doullui
u with - the loss of 23 men dying in
the streets from exhaustion, and God only
. knows how many since from injury then
and there contracted. But this I do
know, that it was a common sight to see,
between Richmond and Fredericksburg,
Men lying. dead 'by the road side, who
received their death_ wound there in
Richmond, and numbers have died since
we 'came into camp, their death- being
mainly attributable to that and subse
quent bard marching. E. A. Whitney
of Homer, fell in Richmond, 'but I hear
ho is now in Alexandria getting. well.
George Itossiter of Homer, George Ellis
of. Harrison,. and Willard Whipple of
Ulysses have died, and Duick Whipple
of Ulysses, James M. Briggs and Goons()
Carpenter of Bingham, are sick ia-ITo6s
pital—Whipplia very low.. They date
their ailment from Richmond. i These
men were 'from our county; other riven,
are like them. The march back from
Burksville was worse than the, march to
it. For a few miles this side of Rich
mond the country has been . alnost wholly
untouched and is as fine as may be seen.
As you recede from it marks of fighting
become visible, with occasional breast
works and redoubts, inerersiogNfrist as
you approach Fredericksburg, but once
getting there the scene -beggars deserlp- i
fion. ° The city itself is almost uninhab
itable, cat-holes by the dozen, without re
gai'd to order or place; being knocked into
the houses, and not Unfrequently they arc
quite torn down. 'the bridges are, all
burned. It must bo pleasant for the
citizens to think that they have got to
sweat to — rebuild the works
,they have
burned and torn down, or go without
them, and lose their cause too. This ride
of 'Fredericksburg to Washington is now
• ono vast common, often thick and rich in
meadow grass entirely uncroppcd save by
the pack nude of "Bummer,' or "Coffee
Cooler." Not a tree to be seen, and
where forests were, sin As of one, two
and throb years growth. 'Buildings are
nearly as scarce; now and tten one re

quarters. [fere is Mansssrs_Junetion, a

a score more were fought by the Veterans
of the 2d Corps as "we went Laarablar ,l

AtTredetielaburg our Regiment and

a nice residence, (one of the very few left)

Government allow us to retain our farms?"
-"Will it search our houses for fire-arms 7"

were the chief thoughts on their minds.
The lady was a lady, slijlitly tinctured
with secosh proclivities, but what else
could be expected ?• Some oorp bread
and roast 'potatoes convinced me that the
"Government" would accede to their
wisheS. Two day's march brought me up

You have seen the account of the _Re

affair. I was not deorn the first day when
our corps was reviewed, bu trio 24th It
went in and sawlthe "bully boys of Sher
Man's Ainiy" make tracks through the
city. It is no(novelty to be a soldier,
and while it was tight to show them to
the world and its representatives, but few
soldiers enjoyed it, for a paTade of that
kind is tile bardestr kind of marching,
and of marching they have had enough.
'I did not oven ; go cut to see the corps

and'lwe are coming home; Outing home
I with the certainty that we shall no more
be obliged to "shoulder arm's" to defend
our liberties ; no more leaito home and
its dery endearmeals for the l Lpet Ds of the
field; or the sound of its glad voices for
the bugle and the drum ; for the bias
pbomouq oath, or ;the nild,lshout or the
wilder and lender bazzah, as we charge
the stubborn ;workS, or the sigh and groan
as the brave, ands hear:s sink under

shall beNheated by 'the great surgeon,
Time, and * * N ean look upon a once more
prosperous and 'happy Union and country,
will the price prid , for it seem too gijelt ?
Like jewels Oh the'liicast of beauty will
the graves of our hOreß Om* in the
laud, and pileiims from every hamlet in
the nation will visit them, watering,with
their tears and fanning with thoir sighs
the last resting place of our migla l ty dead.

This reflection was called forth!by a
visit to the National Cemetery at Arling
ton, the latti residence of Gen. Enbert
E. Lee. Like pousands of others I had
a fancy to N;Sit i this now dolibl3r famous
seat, and see what sacrifices the Colonel's
ambition had induced him to make. You
arc aware that the old Custis Estate lies
upon the high land soutl9ofithe Potomac
and just across from the city, of Washing
ton, commanding as pleasant a view es is
to be found on tbo Cottlnent. In a
central and extremely pleaSant part of the
estate stands the "Arlington House,"
surrounded by a forest or r*k of oak, of
contidorablde!x.tent, but so situated as to
command a view a the cities of Wash
ingtcn and Georgetown, withl the country
around the.33,:for miles in extent, - while
the lovely Potomac stretches its silver
length for miles away on ei her band.
Here in a mail ion of size and design to
show the wealth_ and taste 9f its owner,
lived the now forever to bo famous Gen.
Lee. Passing through the p:incipal en
trance to the,park; or Cemetery, and fol.
a winding carriage road to the top
, lowing b,
of lie Heights, one suddenly comes upon
thiold manpion,l the lofty columns of
wli ,
sc portico invites the tired and heated
sol I ler to come inand take a seat in their
shade. Seaqd here, one naturally won
ders why a man.; possessed of all this
could, not be satisfied I What sort of
1 thing this Ambition is that will invite
.he desecration of such a home I And
wbat sort of a chock ono must have on,
aller all that ltas passei, to ask the Gov
ernment the.3l l have tried so hard to de
stroy and more than half assassinated, to
not only forgisre ' them, but, to restore to
them the ground• under which lice 00
,
ruttny of 'their votiatu!
. I
The inside' of the building is only in
teresting as the former home of General
Lee. ` Some of the pictures still bang in
the hall : battle scenes of the Revolution,
in Which Wa.4llington shows conspicuous.
What a pity that his: moral picture bad
not hung in the breast of the great.rebel
leader. A few heads and antlers of bucks
are nailed over the rear doorway, which
once probably r`-cited the elation of •
young Lee in the elr, e, and, I thorght :
' General, one of the ‘mndsills' that once
excitedsour ineffihle scorn, -now stands
in your d'• erted, con...eated hall, who has •
often pursued and brought down these
forest citizens with as much relish as you,
andinow at Clover Hill, he has helped to
bring downithe noblest buck of the Con
federacy, and hung his horns in the tem
ple of Liberty as a warning to all follow
ers to shun your path." ' Some ewes of
books in the library, some few pieces of
furniture in the parlor, and a cluck on
the mantel, are all , that are left to remind
one of the elegance and comfort of the
former "Arling'on Heuse."
Passing through the house and taking
a drink at the well, we proceeded a few
hundred yards, and behold I Long lines
and battallions of the consecrated heroes
of the War lie before you ; in double lines
and in battle Nut, these long columns
scud only to have lain down to rest after
,
the toils of the battle4ut never,until the 1
battle;
~but
trumpeter sounds the "assembly"
will they be marshaled again ; but then,
may we not reverently believe, that to the 1
I sound of the cymbal , ' and harp, they v. al
once more take up their march to be re. l
viewed by the tutelar Saint of Columbia ?,
There are already many thousands bulled
in this Ceinetery, and every day adds to
the number; the battle fields in the yi
, deity furnishing thousands who will here
find their final resting plum. One cannot
help admiring the choice which cense•
crated' the 'estate of the chief of Rebels
as the burial place of his victims.
The feeling that the Johnnics might,
still retain agrudge against us is entirely
disnelled. A more completely tvhipped
set of men you , never saw. "TheNee" isl
noW synonymous with "chivalrous gen.,
man" with them, and I cannot apprehend!
any trouble in reostablishiug State Gov
ernments South, for all must lit agree
ihat there is no such thingwant d as re
construction. The only question ''that'
can give any trouble is "universal suf
fiage," and this, I think will be much
kmore readily settled than many of our
friends North imagine. They must coo-
Heider that there isnot the same prejudice
lhere against the negro as North ;that a
largo majority of the Southern ,whites
have been in 19 deplorable condition; and
are equally ignorant with Sambo, And aro
no better , qualified to vote intelligently
than he is; besides the Blaoks !are all
Union men, and who does not like a
black friend of the Governruend better
than a white Rebel ? I have no doubt,
lbecause I . think it should' bo so, that a
universal rigtit to vote will be generally
'granted to both white and black, Oupled
only with the cendition of intelligence,
and I think I knOw if that is a condition,
that with the lower class of whites it will
operate to exclude as many as of blacks.
The wisdom and linteligence at the head'
of our Governme t will eventually fix all'
things right.
I had hoped 4) be home to help yen
celebrate the 4tli of July, but shall not.
Do not expend all your fine sentiments
on those who hale come home, for I
assure you nearly all' the 'VETERANS are,
in the field yet. We shall bring home 1
our arms wit . a plenty of ammo nitioniand
our orders are positive to clean out all,
copperheadisrn. Ido not believe there
will be much repugnance to the job. I
now expect to sea Old Potter somewhere

SLAVERY.—The only States of the
Union in which Slavery now lips ai ex
istance are. Kentucky and Delaware and
the institution is 'in a frightfully, m #rbi
cund condition in each of them. It Del
aware it is an absurdity in its character
as well as in its magnitude, and the people
ought to abolish what there is of it, if
only for the name of the thing. In Ken
tucky near all the able bodied blacks
have done service in our army, and are
therefore free ; and the ,fact that these
men have done military Service makes
all their wives and children free. So that
what remains of negro alavery in Old
Kentucky is the merest ;skeleton. Dis
jointed; lifeless, hopeless; with no present
value and no prospect in 'the future. ) The
action of the States on the Constitutional
Amendment will wipe out the institution
clean; and in favor of this amendnacnt
we expect that both Kentucky and Dela:
ware will Tote, thou g h both of theta hav
once rejected it.
A correspondent has recently made
trip across South Carolina in the track of
Sherman's march,and describes the' havoc
and desolation as most complete. The
route of the avenging army is marked by
burned/ chimneys, obliterated, railroads
and a oountry pretty well cleaned of ani
mals, forage and surplus provisions. The
white people in the interior, while ad
mittifig that they aro conquered for the
present, still maintain and give expres
sion to their Secession heresies, and en
tertain an intense hatred for the Yankees
and the uegroes. Notwithstanding this,
the planters say that they will be better
off without Slavery. There is still con
siderable cotton scattered throughout the
State ; but the greater part of the crop
has ben destroyed., •

The devouring elements l sprang from

The flames rushed - forth from every

into the streets. The roof fell with ....
crash which was heard for squares. The
sight was almost comical. I
The interior of the building was of

the gaze of the vast crowd Which filled the
immense space in fronl of I the Museum.
The winilows of the tall Astor House
were crowed with eager watchers. The
ro9f of the Astor was covered with men
spreading wet blankets o protect it from

The graveyard of St. Paul's Church was
.1
alive with the populace, who crushed, in,
thg excitement, many'of the rarest mon

pile was remarkable. The vast' pietme
of the Belgian Ciant was burninglin a doz

though in mortal agony—his face grow
black—he fell. The painting was num
bered with the dust of Tyre and Sidon.
All of the pietures burned with rapid

from one portion of the building to the
