At Mount Crawford we find the first sign of the enemy in the two burnt bridges over the river. Our first thought was, what a pity to destroy such substantial bridges, when theidges burnt on the road, that, besides their destruction being a military necessity, it saved, by the detention of the enemy, more than would rebuild them. At Mt. Crawford we talked with an influential gentleman, who, while he had no power to keep the Yankees from taking his corn talked very plainly to them. He said, "gentlemen,asked for, either as free gift or for their abominable scrip — worth not one mill — they would go and steal anything they, could lay their hands on. From Mount Crawford to New Market there are no special signs of an enemy, save that grain and all provisions are gone, and here and there a force is burnt. But after passing the

I read many letters to Yankee soldiers from friends at home. None are fit to send you. --The only one not stupid was too foul to be read, and shows a bad state of morals at Morris, ill. One letter was from a girl, and said "This is the devilishness pen." Another from a girl apologizes for being the second without an answer, and hopes the writer will not be thought "unladylike."

Doughty, of the Maine cavalry, was there, and Major Collins, of Vermont cavalry, also, inferior in command to the Lieutenant-Colonel and to Gen. Hatch.

A portion of Ira Harria's Guard and Vermont cavalry supported the battery in the ear, and Majors Davidson and Gardner, New York, and Captain Freston, Vermont cavalry, commanded them with coolness and bravery.
