A British Troop in the Union army.

--The following is an extract of a letter from a in the Union Army, serving in Virginia,

of her Majesty Queen Victoria--(God bless her.) You will and enclosed in this letter two dollars, in gold — none of your Treasury notes — which you will please hand to the committee entrusted with the carrying out of this truly noble undertaking, as the humble contribution of a British trump? Although I am on the ‘"Yankee side of Jordan,"’ you may rely upon it, Bill, that I am still as true to the old flag as any living white man. You are aware that I never enlisted in the American service to fight against my own blood, or against any of England's loyal sons; and if a war between England and the United States should unfortunately grew out of present difficulties I shall at once demand my discharge, even though I should be threatened with Fort Lafayette--ays, even though the very gallows were staring me in the face. And I am only one out of many hundreds here how would make similar choice.
