Front the 5th Maluc Regiment.
Camp near Strafford Court House, I
Vo., Dec. 3,1862. i
Months have been numbered with the past,
since I last wrote you from nut the smoke and
dust of Antictam's bloody field—and we are
again in Virginia, striving for the capture of
Richmond. Our regiment, then, was complete
ly worn down by incessant marching, hard
fighting, and lack of proper food and raiment.
Now it is in good fightiug trim, refreshed, in
vigorated and well clothed. At no time since
its organization has our regiment been in bet
ter health or under better discipline. It is not
strong in numbers—having less than 400 fight
ing men; but they are tried and proved sol
diers, inured to hardships and well accustom
ed to camp life. They know how to make
ranch out of little, which, in the army, is not
so much of a paradox as it would appear to
the uninitiated.
We have now our full complement of field
and staff officers. Col. Scatnman makes a very
efficient and popular commander. He has the
confidence aud respect of all under him. and
we know that he can fight. He isnofa Fourth
of July soldier.
I am sorry, to say, we have too many of that
stamp in the “Army of the Potomac.-’ Col.
Scammau is fortunate in having a fighting Ad
jutant, one thoroughly posted in his duties, al
ways prompt, and every inch a soldier. The
boys almost idolize him. And it seems he is
appreciated at home, judging by the beautiful
present he has just received from his friends in
Portland, consisting of a full set'of equipments,
sabre, sash, belt, spurs, etc. The sabre Is a
very fine one, of finished workmanship, and up
on the scabbard are these words: “Presented
to Adjl. Geo. W. Bickuell,hy his fricuds.” The
presents have been well earned, for when there
is any fighting “Bick.” is sure to be “counted
in.” Lt. Col. Edwards is always on hand.
Apparently lie possesses a charmed life, for
■either the bullets nor the swamp fevers of
tbe Chickahominy molest him, and he has giv
en them ample opportunity. Without aspirir
ing to the “pomp and cirruinstance,” lie never
fails when the realities of war are upon us.
He, too, is not one of the aforementioned
“Fourth of July” soldiers. Our new Major,
Millett, is winning golden opinions, and will, 1
doubt not, make his mark when opportunity
offers. Many promotions have recently occur
red among the line officers, and quite a num
ber of deserving Sergeants have been commis
sioned. We have also lost some good officers
by resignation, among them Capt. A. P. Har
ris, a brave and skilful officer, whose absence
U much regretted. Our surgical department
is in good hands. Drs. Buxton and Warreu
are fully alive to the needs of our sick, who
are few, thanks to their attentions. They are
also ably assisted by our young and handsome
hospital steward, W. F. Noyes of Biddeford.
The spiritual requirements of our regiment,
are well attended to by our able Chaplain,Rev.
Mr. Adams of Gorham. Unlike most of his
rank, he is always at his post, zealous and
miuiiui, wnii u sinne anu a Kina wora lor all.
Accessible and genial in manner, lie relishes a
good joke even at his own expense. He has,
latterly, at the request of the Colonel, daily en
gaged in prayer In the presence of the regi
ment at “Dress Parade.” I would state, for
tlie information of his home friends, and as a
matter for their consideration, that our Chap
lain rides a hard-looking horse, and thereby
presents, while on the march, a more notable
than elegant appearance.
We gather from the tone of some papers,
yours, Messrs. Editors, among others, that
our late seeming inactivity,—and probably the
present—does not accord with home ideas of
war. They look upon the time as wasted. It
may be so, but we can't see it. Their criticisms
on military matters, in many things, appear
absurd to us. The idea of sending green
troops into battle to contend with veterans, is
a foolish one. And the stake we are contend
ing for is too great to admit of hasty action,
or tlie risk of desperate chances'. Time must j
be had to perfect tlie new troops in drill, or
they are useless. True, the new regiments
fought well at Antietam: but that is explained
on the ground that they are mixed up with
old troops, and the lightiug was all plain, re
quiring very little change of direction; and,
besides, in comparison, they were few. No
doubt mistakes have been made, and perhaps
the Potomac army lias lieeu too glow; yet,
when tlie greatness of the issue Is weighed, is
It not better to be cautious than rash? Is it
not better to trust to scientific fighting, though
it be slow, even to hcartsickness and weariness,
than to risk all upon the turning of a card, or,
in other words, to the result of chance, as did
Napoleon at Marengo? War is not a game
of chance, nor are Generals gamblers; but to
read the criticisms of Northern journalists,
one would think so. The results of this con
test are too momentous to permit of a blind, i
headlong policy in its conduct; and the ene
my is too powerful, too skilful by far, to hope
that such a chance policy will succeed. Bet
ter that a whole year should pass in prepara
tion, and then go on to victory assured, than
risk the chances of defeat, even though they
be but as one in ten. Is it not so? If it be
said that delay is crippling our resources, is it
not even more so those of our enemy ? Inter
vention by foreign powers may be urged; this j
is a bugbear. Our iron-dads are guaranty i
against such an event. Much fault is found ,
with Gen. McClellan, that be did not capture j
Lee's army at Antietam. Some military men
have done this. Without entering into the
question at all, I will set down tlie ipse dixit
of every soldier since the famous “surround
ing’ of Jackson by Pope at Groveton, on Ma- I
nassas Plains. Tlie capturing of large armies
is played out. But, if tlie truth was known,
it would appear that our victory at Antietam
came very near being a defeat. With Sum
ner and Hooker used up on the right and ceil- I
ter, and their positions assumed by the ex- j
hausted and decimated troops of Franklin, and
the unreliable reserve corps of Porter, (they I
proved such at Gaines Hill) with Burnside j
whipped and driven hack on the left, no won
der McClellan granted a truce; and no won
der if he felt relived when the morning dis
covered Lee on the other side of the Potomac.
People may sneer at this tight and hlamo
the federal commander for not gaining a more
substantial victory; but history must tell that
with a hastily organized army—organized out
of the beaten columns of Pope, and the dis
couraged fragments of his own peninsula ar
my—he made a long and, say what yon will, a
hurried march through* Maryland, dispersed
the enemy at South Mountain, and met the
combined Southern army at Anlietam, includ
ing .Jackson with his 40,UdO victorious and,
xetf-belierinij, invincible men, flushed with
their success at Harper’s Ferry, and the ease
with which they had lieaten a greater army a
few weeks before ou the plains of Manassas,
and defeated them, and drove them from the
loyal State of Maryland. McClellan might
have done more; aye, and he might have done
less by attempting more, which is a considera
tion never entering into criticisms of his cam
paign by the gambling war critics. But Mc
Clellan is not a gambler, nor a fatalist. Dash
is a good thing in its place; but, In the end, it
is no match for Prudence. Napoleon Jx>lieved
in dash; the only man who could, and did,
lieat him, was noted for his caution and pru
dence. However, 1 do not propose a defence
of Gen. McClellan personally. I believe his
style of conducting a campaign the only one
certain to be successful. A hap-haznrd con
duct of affairs might do if up for us; hut there
egain is chance—and chance is as likely to fa
vor sinner as saint. It is safe to say that nine
tenths of the army had faith in McClellan, and
regarded his removal with sorrow, not only
lieeause it savored of injustice, but because
rhey thought it would interfere with the cam
paign just commenced. But now that it is
done, having confidence in the powers that bfe
no one thinks of murmuring. Gen. Burnside
is a universal favorite, a skilfull and cautious
general, and possesses the confidence of the
army in a degree second to none save our for
mer chief. The army has all confidence in
him, and he will bring out its fighting qualities
when the time comes, to its utmost extent.—
With such a commander, if allowed his own
; time, we must succeed, and that, too,ere long.
If I mistake not, this army will not winter on
the Rappahannock.
Our boys have been busy at work for the
past week, in fitting up tents, fire-floors, etc.,
but they have their labor for their pains, for
orders have just come in to have three days’
rations issued, and lie ready to march at six
o’clock, A. M. This looks like work, and I
must needs hang up my pen, no doubt to your
' great relief. Now lor Richmond! or -!
But,softly, this may be only “a change of base.”
As Artemas Ward would say: things is onsar
tain on the military checkerboard—and Fred
ericksburg is not ours, albeit it is thought that
the women and children have evacuated the
limits thereof. But is Sumner really a “bull
in a china shop.” as brave Phil. Kearney once
styled him ? (>r is he a bull that cant get into
Fredericksburg? We shall see. Ellery.

The Model Cook!
AN AIR TIGHT STOVE
With Two Ovens,
The greatest of modern improvements in the line of
Cools. Stoves,
| EVES OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC.
Manufactured by the
Barstow Stove Company,
Whose Castings stand unrivalled throughout New
England.
The senior partner of the Cutnpanv. whose experi
I enceoi nearly a quarter of a century iu the Stove
; Manufacture, says—that by an
AIR TIGHT STOVE
we mean a stove so perfectly fitted as to place the
draft of the stove eutirelv within the control of the
person using it; enabling him to preserve cither a
wood or coal tire for many hours, by simply closing
the draft slide, thus securiug great economy In time,
and iu cost of fuel, as well as avoiding the dust con
sequent upon rekindling.
ROASTING AND BAKING.
But the novel—the peculiar feature ot the MODEL
COOK—that which distinguishes it from all others—
is the addition of a Ventilated Roasting Oven withii
the body of the stove and iu front of the dre; so ar
ranged that it can be used separately for roasting, or
(by the removal of a simple plate) in connection with
the larger oven for baking.
Wherever these stoves have been used, they have
given universal satisfaction.
