YoL .»* J/|ck«on TennesseeFeb. 26th. 1863Ed. “Flao.”a | Again after a brief pause in myEpiaties, I again am found trying to give a few more of the incident® that have transp*red since my last. #1 o-day there is sumo considerableexcitement ih this detachment of Xhc, i4th 111. in regrrd to letters, written to some of the menin our Rcg’fc. There is one that I deem worthy*to mention, as it is from Claes: Co. A man in tho JNbtikern Jwtf of the County, write* to his \ fibw, ftMafter passing the usual compliments,#1 i 1closes^ his letter lt;by say tag: “Hurrah! for Jeff. Davis.’’ Think of it Mr. Editor, a faCher, (or one nr pretends to be,)Hurraing forthcYobels; thereby iso wiring the cause his^ son is engaged in.How in the name of Cod can it be that a man for tho sake ot being a traitor, yf\\\ virtually rejoice in tho success of the rebels; and more, the death of his own ten by the hand of some vile rebel. It is my eanieet * desire and expectation* that all such men shall meet their juft doom. And for fujtuhs reference be it known to your readers, that the man who wrote the above named letter, bears the name ofTuicjlw, and liree near Casey.—Now this is not the only lettetf of similar Import, but hundreds come (o our Regiment, If any one denies the above letter, and its foul pontencc; lot them call upon the writer, and • he is able to substanciate all he has said*is0;ef*01 1-ieirdIi-B.r-danii-Sorue timo since a man belonging to a certain company, had written to his better-half to know her opinion in regard to deseftiug; that he wanted to get home—whereupon she wrote to him to desert* and immediately join the reb. •1 army, notwithstanding *he honored him as her husband, and would be glad to see him|* | get home honorably; but she would d***en aman who is a traitor to hie country, and would desert the army.
