Feb. 17. ISC?, f
Dear Friend; Nothing of roach interest
has transpired since I received your last letter
t break the routine ofour daily duties in
ramp. Since the rcnUe of the enemy at
Morton'.- Frd, o.v tlte Kapidan, the' have not
made any rh-mwistrations on our lines. We
are now enjoying the comforts of winter qnar
tirs, and the tr-ups are in remarkably irood
health.
JUti-.ns arc rather short, but our kind frends
at home kep us. supplied with luxuries from
tlit-ir dairies. Hundreds of boxes containing
provisions of various kinds are delivered at
Oiuugo CMI. every evening. The weather
i.s exceedingly cold here, but we are generally
well supplied with shoe and clothing.
In .view of the cuming spring campaign our
Coimn.iiiders have adopted a vigorous nolicv
9
to get absentees back to their commands, and
daily our ranks are being increased: arid if
thos-i entrusted with the execution of the new
military law perform their duties faithfully,
we shall be able to present a bold front to the
"flnnd Army " that confronts us. m
The system of furloughing the troops Inau
gurate! by Gen. Lee last August, has worked
ahuirably. Many .who buckled on the armor
of war three year ago, havo now for the first
t me at.oppu tun.ty of visiting their homes and
i ve.t ones, mere his been scarcely an v de-

Itegiment nftcf regiment, and brigade after
brigade of this army have renewed their vows
at the altar of liberty, never to submit to the
rule of a government they have renounced. It
U 11 star of good omen, and its cheerful rays
hcl light upon every dark corner of our Con
f bracy, and revive the linking hopes of the
timid and desponding. This act of unflinching
courage, untirng zeal, and self-sacrificing pa
triotism, by battle-scarred veterans of three
long years of bio-id and suffering, ought to si
lence the disgraceful meetings of nome who call
themselves 44 Conservatives." But the discor
