Letter from the Twenty-Seventh Maine. Camp General Caret, Va., / Feb. 6, 1863. J To the Editors of the Press : Never having seen in your column? anything emanating from the 27th Maine, and know ing your paper has, deservedly, a wide circu lation In our State, and alao in our army, I felt that a letter, which hat at least brevity to recommend it, may prove measurably accepta ble. The headquarters of our regiment are in the barracks formerly belonging to the 4lh Delaware, Col. Grimshaw, in whose brigade we were for a while after arriving at our pres ent location from Camp Seward, Arlington Heights. The l’otomac lie* a mile distant to the northeast, and Alexandria three miles dis tant in the same direction. Our duty here, so far, ha* been to guard a picket line a mile or two below us, and running across the country from northeast to southwest. At first there were three regiments of us engaged in this du ty, the 111th New York and 4th Delaware be sides ourselves; but both the others having gone down, the whole duty devolves upon its, and we have had sole {tassesaion for nearly two months. At times, the duty is rather on erous ; but as a whole wc bear the fatigue well. There has been an unfortunate disagree ment for some time among our officers, regi mental and line, which finally resulted in the dismission of CoL Tapiey from the service. This state of affairs lias doubtless been at the bottom of our present backwardness in drill; ! for to speak plainly, I cannot say we are as proficient as we should be for a regiment five months in the field. But we trust under the new regime, in the four mouths remaining, to fully equal other regiments from Maine In the matter of drill, which is all we are willing for r moment to concede ourselves lacking in. We hope soon to see the eagle strap surmounting the shoulders of our Lieut. Colonel, M. J. Wentworth, a man iu every way fit for the -.1 - I f 1,. A_ L. ...: l • a __ 1 sure. [Col. Wentworth's appointment was an- i nounced yesterday.—Ens. VltEse.) The health of our regiment has been good; , only 12 or 14 deaths have yet occurred. The hospital steward, Marshall Hodgdou of Saco, died of diphtheria some ten days since, and his body was sent home. His successor, John Come, of Berwick, has arrived and assumed the duties of his station. Diphtheria is a dreaded disease here, too often proving fatal. Typhoid fever is another scourge. Among the many lamented victims of the latter dis ease, none had more numerous or sincere mounters than Lt. John 1L Came, 1st lieuten ant of Co. C. He was snatched aw ay in the prime of youth, idolized by his aged parents, regarded with a peculiar affection by a circle j of brothers and sisters, and possessed the es teem and respect ol ail who came in contact with him. His was one of those ever cheer ful, kindly dispositions which win regard from one, as it were insensibly and without effort. Retiring and reticent, it required considerable intimacy to become thoroughly acquainted with the man; but the acquaintance once formed was sure to grow into a lasting and cherished friendship. He left a lucrati^ busi ness and a home surrounded with every com fort, to j^o to his country's aid, and although lie died in a sick bed, his life was as truly laid down for his country as if he hail fallen in the deadly breach. As a soldier, had he lived, he would have made his mark.liavlng a natural ap titude for, and an iuiuitive perception of a sol dier's duties. As a man, lie was In-loved and respected by all who knew him, and the death of such an one is a loss to us all. His sickness was long and very w earisome, but he bore up i with the cheerfulness and heroism of a martyr, aa he was. His body was taken to Buxton, I his native town, by his Iwother, Isaac S. Came of your city. Another brother Charles G. Came, is now associate editor of the Boston Journal, | and was formerly, in the palmy days of the ! Advertiser, editor of that paper. Of the sub ject of my sketch It may lie truly said that In I life he was beloved, and in death he sleeps wen. jnore anon. oiasmahoIT. Letter from the Nineteenth Maine. BEAtHtl'ABTEKS lttTU Me. VoW., i Near Falmouth, Va., Feb. 7, 18(13. ) To the Editors of the Press: Since my last communication, some changes j of positiou liave occured in the Grand Army, though we have made no perceptible advance toward the neighboring city of Richmond. The cry of “onward” lias been heard, sounding down from the North, the attempt to obey it has been made; the elements have successfully interposed—whether for the salvation of our ; army, or the permanence of the Confederate : position, we cannot tell—and an army whose eiiuat has hardly been seen in point of nnm bers,intelligence, and valor, lies, like a floating island, in a sea of inud, anchored midway be tween the loyal and the rets-1 capitals. But one cliauge, of any importance, has been made, namely, the removal of the ninth army corps to Fortress Monroe. Some por tions of the army have been obliged to change camp on account of the scarcity of fuel, but further than this—nothing. I forgot. A large army, such as Mr. Orphe us C. Kerr proposes to raise, consisting for the most part of commissioned officers, has been “deployed as skirmishers” through the towns and cities of New England and the North generally. I do not learn from any re sponsible source, that a general movement in that direction is determined upon during the coming season. When it is made, I tear the line of battle will not be very W'ell defined. Officers will be able to keep up with their commands, and straggling and “skedaddling” will lie “to the front.” The recent order concerning “leave of ab sence” and “furloughs” has been promptly re sponded to, and no evidence of love for home on the part of the army is wanting. Our full quota is already on the road, and Itefore anoth er Saturday night there will be many happi ly disappointed hearts in Maine. According to appearances there ia to be no difficulty in keeping the ranks of this home department of the army “full” and well “clos ed up.” The second batch of applications is all ready for the gantlet of “red tape” so soon as fifteen days shall have expired. During the inactivity consequent upon the rain, snow and mud. of the last three weeks, home and friends have been frequently thought of, and much discussed. The “ panic” will suliside w hen dry weather admits of the cus tomary company and battalion drills. With the furloughs granted enlisted men, quite a number of discharges have been inter mingled. In this act the welfare of the indi vidual and the army are both secured, as the cases arc those of permanent disability. A sad case occurred yesterday. One of our most worthy men, private Worthing, or Co. H.. had been running down with chronic diarrhea Ap plication was made for a discharge, and the papers were set in motion ten days ago. In the interim of suspense he had Ireen patient and even cheerful: but when he was at liberty Utgo.it was a larger freedom than his nervous system could bear, aud itta few hours he was forever at home. The regiment numbers fi',15 men for duty. There are absent twenty in the regimental hospital, nnd an equal number sick in quarters. Can any regiment of the same age show a bet ter record ? It is a matter tor gratitude rather than lor lioasting. The measles have appear ed in occasional instances among us, but do not spread as they have in other regiments. But we may boos/ a liulc. General Hooker recently ordered a minute inspection of the |*ai in m.u , urine, riouilllji, Knap sacks, tents, Ac., anil the inspection was made on Friday last. I learn from tin- lips of the inspecting officer, that the lath Maine and the 20lh Massachusetts stand,first in the divisions. So it stands on Me record. May the regi ment never deserve a less favorable report! I may add that there are fourteen or fifteen re giments in the division, all of which have seen more experience than we. Our men have received pay to 31st of Octo ber, but none of the noisy consequences of pay day have tieen observed yet. While I write the air is tilled with howlings from the adjoining regiment. Their sutler has just arrived with a fresh supply of whisky. We hope and believe better things of our men. Your correspondent W. furnishes you with the general news from tills vicinity, and I will not further trespass upon your coluinus. C. C onnly of Cumberland, Trkasckck's Omck, Jan. 20.1»8.
