(Corrcaponib'nce of Tb<* Ledger.)
CamfCi ba Lirkk. Fla. Aujj. 28 —
Since tny last Irttor to you there has
been n great stir in our camp over
the home question, and to such an
extent that the Regiment is or inis
been at a high pitch of excitement.
Lieut. Col. Tillman has been making
speeches every night to a wild crowd
who every now and then cry, “Col.
we want to go home.” Again some
one crys,“ W e want to go with you.
There is altogether so much confu
sion till one can’t tell just how the
boys stand, but from a count of names
on the petitions gotten up a few days
ago there were something over seven
hundred who signed to go home. It
seems to me that a great 'many who
have signed do not know why they
did so, for every day I have them
come to me and ask if I know any
thing about, army things.” What is
this paper they are getting up.” I ask
“Didyou sign it?” “Yes.” “What
did you sign it for?” Well the boys
said it was the thing for us to do. I
want to goto Cuba, but if 1 can help
any one else to get out I am willing
todoso.” Ail such stuil us this is my
daily food, not from one but from fifty ]
at least. The officers are, as a rule, very
hot over the affair. Why, can easily be
judged—nice time, good money, and
men to boss. Now this is what some
of the newspaper men say. For my
part I do not know, or try to, but
I am sure some of them at least
want to go from pure patrotism
alone, while some for other reasons.
On the other hand the men, since
peace has been declared and there is
no chance of fighting, want to go
home. Still if they were allowed to
go a great many in a week’s time
would want to be back, for some are
living better and having an easier
;ime than they ever did before, and
there are some who have given up
paying situations and left good homes
to go the war, simply because they
thought it their duty. In fact we have
a sprinkling of all classes in this
world, 1 believe. Yet since peace has
been declared, and besides, all think
because we did not get to the front,
that the Government has not treated
us right, and some want to he mustered
out. Well, petitions or any other
paper, except individual application,
they are not going to get out unless
the Government wants them out. Col.
Tillman can talk awful nice and
sway his crowd us his hand, but the
I’nited States is another thing.
And politics in the army are entirely
out of place. Not accusing him
or any one else—just mentioning
the fact, it is amusing to sit at
night after one of those red hot
speeches and hear some fellow at the
far end of the camp cry out in a loud
deep voice: “I want to go home,” and
us the echo dies away hear another
say “I want to go, too,” untill after
awhile the ciy to go home and Guba
are mingled together from a hundred
orjmore throats in camp.
We had division review yesterday.
The fird is ours, and the reviewing
officers say we are the finest. Now
that shows what cun be done. Mon
day or Tuesday we are to be reviewed
by Gen. Lae. All look forward with
interest to the event. The officers of
our regiment certainly do take
pleasure in seeing our men make a
good showing and are higher in their
praise when the boys do the white
tiling and try to soldier. Before going
further I want to tell what our rank
in the great army is. We are 2nd
in the 2nd brigade, 3rd division 7th
army corps. Uur brigadier com
mander is Gen. Barkley, our division
commander is Gen. Hubbard, our
corps commander is Maj. Gen. Lee,
and from our start from Columbia
we have held 1st or 2nd best where
we have been. Inspector Gen. Guile,
of Gen. Lee’s stall, says we are the
best drilled and best held equipped
regiment here.
In the 4th Illinois regiment the
other day the Lieutenant Colonel and
one or two Major’s sent a telegram
Lome asking the Governor to have
them mustered out. The Colonel of
the regiment had all of them placed
in arrest for it. That is nice, ain’t it?
All of our boys from home are get
ting along nicely and are in fair health.
We have less men in the hospital
tiian any other regiment here. Our
division hospital is nice and several
trained female nurses have been
added from the north. That is what
has been needed all the time, for the
soothing touche of a woman’s hand
to u sick person is more healing than
a rough man’s.
Well I liave written ail I can think
of just now and as I have to snatch
my time, hope all will excuse any
mistakes. Weekly inspection of
arms is just now being gone through.
As 1 write a captain with unvoice like
a fog horn and a pair of bow legs like
a pug dog’s fore ones is giving the
command: Prepare for inspection,
open ranks, march, then unsling
blanket rolls, next unroll blanket
rolls, which consist of blankets, do'g
tent sticks for some, rubber pouchas,
and, when on march ull the clothes
which one has, very muchi like
an Irish peddler's pack, only it is
slung from left to right over the left
shoulder and under the right arm.
Looks something like a canvas horse
collar. Goodbye for this time. Hope
ail the candidates will be elected on
the 30th.
