Camp sear Petersbttrq, Ya., JNovember 28, 1864. Mr. Editor :Permit me through your valuable columns to inform the people of Bedford county that there yet remains a small band known as company C, 110th regt. P. V.We have participated in all the battles fought during this summers campaign. Many of ora brave boys fell, while nobly defending the stars and stripes.Owing to the severity of the campaign, we were unable to furnish the readers of yonr paper with the desired information, yet if it will be acceptable wewill try and do better in the future.Since the last demonstration on the \®ft, which took place on the 27th day of October; we were moved to our old position, {K$cup£iig that position of the line known as Fort Hell. Yesterday, (Sunday) artillery dueling and mortar shelling was kept up all day. One shell passed through the Adjutant’s bomb proof, turning everything topsy-turvy, wounding the Sergeant Major, (Henry Miller) and Hospital Stewart, (Benj. L. Hewitt.)Our line and that of the enemy are but fifteen hundred yards apart at this point. The picket lines arevery close in some places. During the day the pickets exchange compliments, but so soon ns night seta in. firing commences and is kept up briskly until day dawns, when it entirely ceases until evening again. The party that gets relieved first bids the other good evening and returns to camp.A a word on our thanksgiving dinner, which we received on the 25th ult. It consisted of mince pies, cakes, roast turkey, boiled ham, corn beef, lemons, apples and peach butter.For twenty-eight men we drew 2 turkeys, 8 mincepies, 12 ginger crackers, 1 pound of corn beef, 1 pound of boilded ham, 3 pecks of apples, 5 pints peach butter and one lemon, for which we join in returning our sincere thanks to those who were kind enough to contribute them. It made us a good dinner besides impressing our minds with the fact, that although far from home and all that is dear, we are not entirely forgotten.Our quarters are comfortable, although they are under the ground. It would be mHch pleasanter to live out in tents in a peaceable country, but in our present condition we are content with this mode of living.I will famish you with a correct roll of our company. Those marked A are absent, wounded and tick. TssBfEfc . • ^■1st Lieut., Charles CoDelin, A.IstSergt., James C. Hamilton.2d “ Samuel Kinley.3d “ Thomas G. Livingston.4th 1 ‘ David C.
