By request we publish the following letter from H P. Sprague to bis mother, written at Camp Coal Harbor, near Chicahomeny, May 28. 1862: My Dar Mother: I take a few moments Injure to write a few lines to you. I have been quite sick for a week, but'feel some better to-day. I hope you are enjoying gootl health. I wrote a li tter to Hannah and did not Intend writing any more, but I after wards decided to write to you for fear you would think I had forgotten you In these times of trouble and tribu lation, but, dear mother, neyor fear, I can never forget tbe one that has been so kind to me and watched over me from Infancy up to manhood, and I know In these times, when war is agitating our beloved country and thousands have rushed to arms to de fend ber against our ruthless foe, and I am one among that number, and I kuow that a mother's prayers ascend to heaven dally, for my protection, im ploring God, in His mercy, to spare my life to return safely home again, ungrateful, indeed, would I be did I forget my mother. But I must now write something about the news of the day. This morn ing we heard that Banks had been defeated in the Shenandoah Valley and that rich no! fertile country had fallen Into the hands of the enemy, but we think, perhaps, It Is one of General McCiellan's stratagems to draw the rebel force or part of it, into a trap so as to catch tbem. When I wrote to Hannah I felt rather bad about it, but since I wrote her letter the news bas come thai McDowell bas given them a thrashing. If this is true tbey have given tbem a terrible check, for this is tho force the enemy hud sent out to destroy McDowell's army, march on to Washington and take tbe Capitol and from there to Philadelphia, then to New York and then to declare peace on their own terms, but I think now their high anticipations are gone, and they will neyer see these places only as prisoners of war. I don't know how soon we will get Inu a fight. , I expect it will come be fore long, for we are close upon them. I hope when it comes our turn that we will be able to give them a good sound thrashing. I cannot tell bow soon we will move from this camp. There has been cannonading to-day and when we bear the booming of cannon we generally take it for an omen tbat we will soon march, and, perhaps be fore this reaches you I may ha in Rich mond, or retreating betore tbe enemy, or lying on the field of battle wounded, or a mangled corpse, but whatever my fate I hope I shall b enabled to uo my duty to my God and my country. I suppose you would like to know whether I have seen any actual war fare. I have bnen whor I had to dodge tbe bombshells and cannon balls, and have seen the dead and wounded on tbe field of battle, yet I have never been, as I consider, In any great dan ger. I must now close, so good bye, dear mother. Your Affectionate Son, H. P. Sprague. Frightful Fate Averted.
