Mr Editor:?Having noticed in I be columns of the old Ledger a etter from one G K giving a few' mints about our c unp life in thisI lively place, 1 deem it uiv duty o infoim my friends that bis omplaints, accusations etc arei ntirelv without foundation. Of ourse this is no Paradise nor is it i ny thing like a lovely borne ' /here comfort, ease ami feather eds are plentiful. Had it h?nn ki> miupmhlo I Dine claim it to he, I could have i cry easily played tin* part of a ilind man on examination and renrned to my home as many have one; hut finding things better han 1 expected and deeming it iiy duty to ?lefend my country, j willingly took the oath an-' am io\v an enlisted soldier ho v. Mich men as (1 I! should he dress <i in a nice short dress of green alien and returned to their mil-1 nas where the" could he fed with ilver spoons and given plenty of laregoric. It takes a man with some buck j io?>y to make a soldier and not t spoiled baby boy. Wo get good substantial food, veil cooked and plenty of it. The water is as pure and clear is crystal with an unlimited sup>ly, then, we have Chickumaugu diver about * HnH nfTTe~Fn?rn orrr ?amp which affords a lovely place for bathing and washing our hit lies. High standing collars and laun ilried cuffs are things of the past, and will say for tin; benefit of anv who may he ex peeling to join us that they need not bring any thing hut under cloths with them. Our ('apt Frel Mobley, is a perfect gentleman in every sense of the word and is as courteous and attentive to all the hoys as possible. Hi; shows no partiality between the Lancaster and Rock Hill hoys lint imposes duties on an equal footing according to military law. We have Dr I'oore to administer medical aid which makes u> feel perfectly safe when s,ick. Now I am not writing this to fool any one into joining the army b it have simply stated facts, so hoys if you come don't say I fooled von here. ? J ? If this doesn't land in the waste basket I'll write again. W I \V. Mr Editor:?For some time I met I have intended writing hut for want of time and the temptation (which could not he resisted) of visiting the surrounding battlefields and other places of not less interest, it was impossible for me to do so. Hut now as the occa sion has presented itself 1 take pleasure in writing for the benefit of a number of my friends, who have asked me to keep them post ed concerning our welfare and movements, also by the request of the Editor. Upon arrival here most, of the men were naturally tired after riding one night and almost a day, especially your correspondent, who with n few others, was on <ruard riuty for six hours before we loft Columbia and served as guards from Columbia to Atlanta. As most of our traveling was done at lijjht of course wo missed seeing 7iost of the scenery upon our route. When arriving at Lytle whi t was the consternution of the men to tin<l that there was no available water tit for use, but happily as it was there were several boys upon the platform sellins; lemonade. In less than ton minutes the lmysdisposed of their lemonade and in a short time wo took up the lino of march arming at our camping grounds about, four o'clock. Immediately after the arrival of the tents all hands were put to work and by night we were comfortably situated, j Upon rising the next morning we were immediately put to work moving our tents. After this was eg completed we were put to policing , the streets, which were full of stumps and * sprouts. We were thus engaged all day and for many days following. In a week after , we arrived wo were ordered to go to drilling in companies which . had not been done before for while in Columbia we drilled in ' squads. Most of the men are do- i ing tine for tho experience they ! have had but of course there are ; some who do all they can to keep from drilling and therefore \\h n they do drill they are behind the < others and have to be taught ?" r again. We had a very striking j example the other day of hoys I trying to shirk duty. The b >v ' was put on double duty for mi-. ! ing roll call but when lie was j called for after break last h co r ' no where I it? found. After some time, when most of the company wore out ?lrillin<*, lie came into camp. The captain beim: some what indisposed was not with the company, therefore seeing the young man he called him and in quired of him whether or no' lie had heen excused hv a physician, lie answered in the ailirmative, but being somewhat of a doubtful character the captain sent for the Hat* that is those be Doctors-bad excused from duty. lilt* yoiiiijj mail unit uc was caught, went to a water closet and drunk threo pints of water and then began to suck wind until his stomadi began swelling. Ho then went to his tent and laid down. In a short time he hud the colic which came very nearly killing him. Hut the worst of it was as soon as he got well lie was put on double duty again. Last week the greater part of our rogU m ant was furnished with their clothing which was much needed by most of the men. It is hoped that the rest of the equipments will be furnished us in a short time. There are some young men here who seem to have forgotten that they are living in a civilized ; world. For example, a few days ago an old gentleman brought a few watermelons to camp to sell. He sold two, then some of the | boys went out to raid him. First, j there was but one limn who seemed ' to want to take the old man's J rne.ons. He walked up to the wagon and picked up a melon starting off with it. The old man told him that he was from (ieor : gin ami a southerner, therefore. J he could not see whv tli y diouid treat him so. At ihis the man with t lir? tiirhm i if* -it'll <?<! lint th.? old man told him if ho had no money that ho might have the watermelon. A hoi it that time another man stop|?ed up and said lie would have one whether lie hud a g? d ? cent ( r not, where, upon the old man started to driving off hut he was followed for some dustuneo hy the crowd who were tulAing his melons at every step. \ At another time a negro came through Vamp with a hunch of hananas. lie had sold hut very few of thend when a crowd gathered around Itim and soon stripped his hunch. \I am glad to say that no member "Catawba Riflea" has been guilnv of such unbecoming conduct. J The "Catawba Riilos*' have received a beautiful banner from the n young ladies cf Hock Hill. It ? was presented to the company g by Col Alston Monday afternoon. On Sunday there were several games of ball played. Sunday a man in one of the N \ Y Regiments shot himself through ' theanklo hoping, it is supposed, to ^ obtain an honorable discharge be- s sides a pension for life. The man x pretended that he was shooting ( at a bird. On account of some of the boys ' getting sick : Col Alston has issued the order that all water which w.? I got from the wells must be boiled. | We generally get a light show- a er of rain every day. 1 will say to those who are con j c templating enlisting in the I S c service that the description given * by Ci K of our lives here is not | altogether true. However, no! i one need eome here; expecting I "Cnclc Sam" to pay them fori nothing, but as for < .dim:. we get plenty id good substantial food and nothing else unless you bu , , it. 1 Moreover, if 1 lcid my choice of whether I should stay or not, , I ;I ?u I in. < ; > s . i Moi':1 next lime.
