But this monotony has of ln,e been broken. The Ohio State Jour- m I of 'June -8th, contuina a letter irom member (said to be an officer) of our Keg't., which if published. as being ex jressive of the feelings aud sentiment of t e Bcg't.

During the spring and summer of 1803,there were in Ohio organ.xed in - to Volunteer regiments about 45.00U moo nearly all of whom were equipped, aud the greater part armed by the State These men with barely anexoeption ware .Members of the Union party.

United Stutos Governncnt." What brunt the writer here refers to is difficult to conceive.

If to be justly entitled to such praise is to bear the brunt, we sjldicrs say boar it- But does the writer muan thaf by those States not furnishing their men that wo have been thereby forced to go further to the front; if so I would say that we never understood it to be the design that any 100 day men should be sent to the Eastern army except tboa from Ohio; and that tkoee from Indiana and other Wcsten sta'cs wro to sr" South; consequently wo have Pt been obliged to do any more or any less pmvi-d 'A tho-o other States have failed to fur nish their. full compliment, whieh wo f1" not know to ho a fact; beidns he true 'rinc'plo is, or phmi'd be. let Ohio do nil he ujrned to; -,al lot other States take care of them-elves The writer here wins to have re !" I the main points designed in bis article, viz: 1st. That we n'isted for garrisop d'lty only; ' d. The impracticability of sending us to the front and 3d. Has good faith been observed by the Government toward ns. In answer to tho 1st of theso points, we remark, that we enlisted to protect Ohio against invasion, either actual or ihrcatencd; to quell disturbances ard ut down mobs in Ohio; under the enlistment we assembled at Oolnmbup.at a time wher: necessity seemed to demand it, and deliberately and prcmeditntcdly choso to be mustered into tho United States service and go wherever wo c oild be nt most service to the Government. This chowc having been deliberately mado, we chose to be eiit as far toward the frcnt as their was any probability of.aoy of the 100 day mr'n beini: sent to, and mado application t that effect; we were mustered in -with out uny mental reservation that we should be kept out of danger ofj-ebel bullets, D'r did we understand that such a reservation did exist. We came to do soldiers duty and are doing it. We build j f,irllficltions and then guard them; we go 1 0llt on picket ani hoM nur positW n. Te .jirh,,,!, we UVl. jn range of tho en- i culyV guns; yet our Hcg't and Ae 13: Ohio National Guard occupy a ppaee of ground and guard the eanio entrench ruonta that almost one entile corps of old troops occupied when we first came here. ! jlat , confidence iarfposedin usbyour 1 C0inM31(lerg and yet wo are met with the mUblo gnssip and that too coming from on9 0f our owa Ratz't., "that if we j were ,ent t0 tho front with old troops tnat djBMter nai disgraoe would follow;" ( whareas)the fact is, that the only time we ),aV8 Da(j su enKaKement with the enemy j whioh eld troop were with us on our 1 rlj,bt (on the picket liLe) they gave way wnile our men never flinched, although doubly exposed on our right after the old troops had ruu. This fact of itself should giv? a quietus to that idea "that the 142d lleg't O. N. G , aro unfit to go where the conflict rages." 2d.

Has good faith bean kept by the Government toward us as a lleg't, we answer; yes. We left home and its attractions, business aud its cmolu uicntg, to g;ve to the Government ou tiiuo and to perform for her such services as i-he should require. No duty required of. us has ever failed to be performed and that too without grumhlini!. Oitr Reg't in among the best that lift the Stato of Ohio, and is so con. sidercd hero. It if composed of as brave men and noble hearts is ever wcnl forth, and if there is one resolution moro firmly fixed in our minds than any other, it is that -'we will fight rebels in tho field if ca'le 1 on, or do any thing that may serve to in -urn suecess to the Union army, and then those of us that are pranfod the privilege of returning to our homes will at tho ballot box without an exception pile up Union votes so hi jh and si'ik Copperhead n'tcs so low that, the hand of resurrection will never insure them the least chance of success." I have no doubt but what the writer of the communication supposed and intend ed to do an act of kindness toward us; and believed that the letter attnahed to the communication roally did express the feelings of the hes't. Hut since its publication has reached us it has received the universal disapprobation of all that has seon it; and inasmuch as wo feel that great injustice has b"80 done u, nd believing that it but tends to serve the paltry purposes of the so-cdlcd democratic party, the organ of which, I lenrn has already published it in style, and desirinjr that our npin:ons and potition may be correctly stated. While we appreciate the spirit or intention of the act we de procate 'bo act itself as in no way meet ing our approbation. MEMBER 142d O.N.G. Camp O. V. 8 S.V Marietta Ga. July 10. 1864. J Mr Editor: Why is it we never see nor hear nhv thinar in the papers about the Slv ro Shooters? Is it becau-e their deeds are les chivelrous. and are of minor importance; or. is it because no ono feems incline! to tuko the responsibility upon themselves to say a word or two about them?

Our history thus far in the prosnn' campaign, will lack interest, from the fact that we have not done much fizhtinv yet, but we are not to blumo for that; we have done every thing wo were told 'o do, and if we had been told to fight, ynu may be snre, it would have been doue and that willingly, too. The most of tbe time we have been attached to Gen. Thomas' Heuil.quarlers, and guardio:: an rliaai) 'lii, HjIo i ;i i.; to said General s department. 1 nope your readers will not think we are trying to boast when I iy that we h ive had about as hard t.ionH as any of them (except as fighting is concerned) often mirching and counier-'iiarching for many days ;n puccessinu. and too, with half and even less than half ratiotis, while, at ins rervuls, the rin fell in torrents, rendering it very dfiieult to get along on ac count of mud and water, also making our cbithes very wet Many times have wo stood before the fire until our clothes would dry Notwithstanding the expo sure to which wo have been subject, tbe bovs seem to stand it. pretty well, aud arc in good spirits ah hough there have beon about eighteen of our Co. left back in the hospital. We came to this once on the ttiurth of July, and fiod it to be a very beautiful town. It far exceeds any place 1 have seen since I eame to Dixie. It if well watered with the best of water, while almost innumerable and beautiful shade trees decorate the grand buildings hieh are h -re 1 have visited the grave yard, and I thiuk I uever saw one which was m ire highly ornamented with oostly mouumuots and shruo bery. There are three or four different ohurches in town and the beauty of oue of them would b difficult to surpass. It had a melo-liaii iu it, which socuis to in dicate that liiey have had music, indeed every thing has th appearauce of eou siJe-rable enterprise an J iolustryot its inhabLauts, it is also a noted place on account of the Seminary whioh occup c a beautiful place in tbe out-skirts of the town, and commands a view ot Kenne saw and Lost m ouotains. I might ex-teul my description of the place sti 1 far tlicr but (iro.umo it has already beoonij U-dinus, .o will cluue the subject.

Mil Editor: As I have just returnee' from Dixie, I could not help taking no'e t)e some thing that I see in Ohio, namely: Tbe different kiuds of treason that is praoticcd heie, I ray, and Isay truly too, there is more treasou in Ohio to dny, among the same amount ot men, than there is in Georgia. And the men aro doing our country more harm than the rebels iu urms.l'or they will stay here and keep all others hero they can, and then hear them talk their tory talk. It is more treacherous than over I heard from a rebel in the Southern Confederacy. And at the same time .ihey claim they aro Union men and so they are Union men; united to try and destroy the government. that to day is prot ictmg them .and their property, And what have thoy tosay of the boys Miut aie fighting thoir battles. They call them tbe trash of the country, and dogs, and take delight in publishing the death of their neighbor's boys that aro in tho field, to troubb their friends who are praying for them. And then if neighbor's boys fall a victim to ball or disi ase, they laugh and say good lor them, and they suy if they had men, they would kill the rest, as has been said by men m Knox county; but then the poor fellows feel bad, for they are to bo offered up a living sacrifice ou tho alter ma.lo by C.

But then Old Abe can talk to those poor forms, for they are only forms, there is no mou in thoir crew. They say they are peace men and want peace. I ask on what rms do they ask tor peace, by a recognition of the South ern confederacy. Oh! that is their terms and that is the thing they have been working for, and that is all O. I Jeff asks for, but then thank Old l'atber Abraham we are ahead of them on this round, we have :;ot tho plow and wo are going to mark our land to suit us. They said we never could take Tunnel Hill.' They said we no er could take Buzzard Roost. They said we never could take Ilesaca. nor the- Altoona Mountains. But thank God, I have seen them skedaddling from all those poiuts, in as much dishonoi as the iojs skeodadled from Napoleon, tlolmes County, Ohio, in 18(52, but they have better spuik than the Napoleou soldiers for they rally again on the Kinnisaw Mountains for another thrashing. Poor fellows, their friends in the north feel bad for them, but forget the Union boys of their land, the black Abolition dogs invading the Southern land and killing off its inhabitants. Just let me eay to thoir friends go and help them, as we go to help our friend.

ItrCUMTl.NG IN INHMtUE.VT STATES. The statement that a el a use in the new Enrollment Bill, passed on the2Sth ult.. by the House ot Representatives, author izes the executive of any State to recruit in insurgent, States, will be received by the community with great satisfaction. To-day wo are paying for men drawn, on the one side, from our industrious and patriotic classes, and on the other from our roughs, and by Means of our bounty-jumpers, not less than IG25, beside tho 8 100 of the United States bounty; and this at a time when there are 600,000 blacks, and nearly as many loyal or indif- ferenti whites in the rebellious States, to whom half the sum. or tho 830O commutation money would serve as a cogent m five for enlisting iu our armies. While it was doubtful how negroes would fi'hi, una Huw pmbliu opinion in tho army and elsewhere would regard their employment ns soldiers, there rui-ht have been some question as to tho policy of this measure, so far as it related to the blacks. Tiut it is now settled that the negro makes a good soldier, that the army aud the pu'dio generally are ready to wolcome the eniploymont of black troops, and it is plainly the duty ot tho government to uso the negro as far as possible to put dowu tha rebellion and keep it under when once down. As to recruiting of whites in the insurgent States, there can be no doubt as t the aavantages it promises. The measure is of the utmost impor-anco There are six reasons for its be ing put speedily into effect, each one ol which is of convincing force: 1. It will fill up the ranks of our armie at less cost than can be filled in any other way. 2. It will weaken tho force of the eno my in still greater proportion than it strengthens our own. S. It will relieve the North from the drain of men, while it will give employment and sustenance tij a large class at tho South who will thus be brought most effectually on the Union side. 4. It will give recourccs to the refugees who would otherwise, in great nuin bors, requiro to be aided by - humane efforts. 5. It wiil opon a way for the negroes from rlavery and dependence to liberty and manhood. 6. It will be a' practical measure o, emancipation LYINCTIN THE PULPIT.
