C-vsir Gboveb, Montgomery Co., Md., Dec. 10,1802.) My last letter was mostly upon the subject of cold weal her. Happily that cold term was not of long duration, for since Monday the 8th, we have enjoyed most delightful days; sun shining and warm as the finest days in Mav. I perceive by the patters that the grand army was not slighted in the visitation of those ex tensive travellers, Jack Frost and Boreas, as warm tents and good fires are said to have been as serviceable ou the Rappahannock, as on the Potomac. Last night we were visited by a severe rain storm, which beat furiously upon our tent-.and soaked through some of them. It cleared off during the forenoon to-day, and we again ex perience the chilling effects of the northwest wind. It occurs to me that a brief description of our mode of living would be interesting to your readers, most of whom have slight knowl edge of the wa v our quarters are constructed, Ac. Well, flr-t we have good cottou duck tents for the officers; and for the privates, new tents of a brown material, made of hemp I think. The officers’ tents are called wall tents, and are shaped like a common house, the eaves about 3 1-2 feet from the ground. The others are the A tents and have no walls, being all roof and gable. But as we are somewhat crowded for want of space, and wish to make our quarters warmer withal, we have “drawn” extensively from the oak forest adjacent to the camp ground, and with the planks and slabs riven from the butts of oak trees, we have “built up” our tents, making them two or three feet higher, and a great deal warmer than before. This is done iu different ways. One method is to place the timbers horizontal ly edges up, and lock the corners together by cutting noteheswvitli an axe in each piece,thus making a strong and workmanlike foundation in cob-house style. The joints are plastered with mortar or mud composed of the red soil of this region which is naturally very adhe sive, and quite as good as much of the clay found in Maine. After the foundation is laid, the tent is raised, the end poles set on the top of the timbers, long oak pins driven iuto the ground, the loops on the lower edge of the tent “hooked ou” and you witness as cozy and comfortable a habitation as one would desire. Not the least essential apfiendages to our tent are the fireplaces made of the brown stone pe culiar to this state. All the private's tents, most of the officers' and the hospital have nice fire-places with chimneys, the workmanship of which is no discredit to the skill and ingenuity of the Maine boys. There is another mode of construction.which is quite fashionable here, called stockadiim. 1 ue stockade is composed ol oak planks and Blabs about four feet long, set in the ground endwise 8 or 10 inches, and also made tight by plastering tiie cracks. The tents are then raised and the lower edge fastened on the out side of the oaken wall with wooden pins driven into the ground or nails driven into the wall. So you understand that while we are trying to learn the art of war, we are practising the arts of peace. Every man is either a carpen ter or a stone-mason, and it is thought that if we serve out our nine months term here, “cribbed, cabined and confined'’ as we are,that our necessities before the expiration of said term, will have given birth to many useful in ventions and improvements, which may yet make our winter campaign memorable, though we. take no walled cities nor capture “any rebel.” Death has been busy in our ranks during the past week, no less than seven having been tak en from us since the 8lh inst., viz: George Mclnlire, Co. K, Porter, Me., Dec. 8th Clark S. Edwards, Co. K, Otisfield, Dec. 8th: Ed ward K.Fitz.Co. G,Danville, Dec. 8th; Darius Pearce, Co. G, Greene, Dec. 10: Anthony IV. Johnson, Co. B, Brownfield, Dec. 13: and Marshal F. Flint, Co. B, Sweden, Dec. 15th; all of typhoid pneumonia. Truly the record of this regiment thus far is a sad one as regards the sanitary condition. It was composed of as robust and healthy a set of men as ever was raised in Maine; the flow er and pride of Oxford and Androscoggin, and a portion of Cumlierland. Inured to toil and hardship, and of temperate habits, it was nat urally supposed they could easily endure the most severe duties of the soldier’s lile, and could not lie affected by the climate peculiari ties of this section of country. The Xew Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts regi ments with us have suffered, 1 think, more severely, as a general thing, than ours: and they are composed of a similar class of men; but the exposure in the cold and damp night air, picketing on the river, or guarding the camp, and the somewhat excessive labors of the men in repairing tents, and in general camp duties, perspiring freely, and cooling off suddenly, have taxed the constitution of many of our most hardy men, and those sup|>osed to be prool against the vicissitudes of the climate have already fallen its first victims. It may be the means of alleviating somewhat the 'sor rows of bereaved friends in our native State to assure them that those who have died here were well attended: at least, so far as kindly offices of fellow-soldiers and nurses could go, and the efforts of officers and men have been, and continue to lie, untiring to save the sick and dying. The hospital accommodations have been, part of the time entirely inadequate to the de mand. While only twenty to thirty men could receive hospital nursing and attendance, about 150 were a few days since on the sick list. Many were in a high fever before they could be admitted to the hospital, but those Who did not go have been faithfully watched and nursed in their tents. It is said that the typhoid fever iu this region is quite different in some respects from the same disease iu the North. How this is I cannot say. Whether our sick are pioperly doctored is a matter of uncertainty to many, though the reputed skill of our surgeon ami his assistant would ordina rily preclude any doubt on this poiut. It is tlie opinion here that our worst stage of sickness is past, and that tlie acclimating process which we are undergoing will soon lie bo far advanced as to cause a depletion of tlie number of patients in hospital. I notice that tlie papers say that the 27tli regiment lias been ‘•paid off. We hope the same thing may lie truly said of the 2nd ere long. Several large boxes, accompanied by numer ous small ones, have within a few days been received here from Maine, containing cakes, pies, cooked poultry, cheese, butter, Ac. Many of these tilings s|>oiled on the way here, as some of the boxes have been in Washington two or three weeks. Friends at home, don’t send auy more cooked chickens, unless you can guaranty their speedy and safe transmis sion to us. If you send anything send some thing that will not perish by the way. In closing, I desire to say a few words com mendatory of tlie services and character of private Marshall F. Flint, above named, de ceased. Mr. Flint was in most respects a mod el soldier. Intelligent and faithful iu the dis charge of his duties, always ready and w'illing to stand in his allotted place. His deport ment, whether in tlie privacy oi the unit, or on drill, was always correct and gentlemanly. He lived as became a conscientious, Christian man. His last sickness was painful, yet no complaint escaped his lips. Respected and beloved by all bis associates, his lews is es pecially realized: and while we regret his de parture. we are resolved to imitate his upright character and pure example. Subaltern. The Maine Camp Hospital Association. This Association was organized in Portland i Nov. 17, 18*12, by tlie election of the following Hoard of Olliccrs, viz: REV. GEO. W. HOSWORTII, D. D., Pbes. DIRECTORS. Hon. Jedkkiah Jewett, Mrs. Wm. W. Thomas. S. C. hash. Esq. Jas. E. Febxalu, James Ukie, Esq., Wm. P. Preble. T. R. Haves, Esq., Miss A. R. Samrsox. F. C. Moodt, Esq. George W. Woodman, Esq., Treasurer, Miss Harriet Fox, Corresponding .Sec. Lewis H. Smith. Iteconlinn Sec. 1 lie object ol till* organization is to eiupiov tried agents to administer relief and comfort to the sick and wounded soldiers in the llos pitals connected with the Maine Regiment* in j the KIELIJ. It is believed that neither the San itary Commission nor any other organized j charity now existing, provides for the actual j application of necessary relief to the CAMP. I Hospitals. To meet this necessity other States have organized and are supporting special I commissions. Two ladies of tried ability have i been engaged in co-operating with the Maine Agency,” established in Washington, for the last six weeks, among the Maine Regiments near Harper's Ferry, often including in their kind ministrations the men of other States whom they found in need. Officers and sur geons on the ground, cognizant of the facts, have furnished ample testimonials to the ne cessity and importance, as well as the praeti cabilitv of this special work, and its successful accomplishment by these ladies. It is not desired to diminish the nobie and I most important enterprise so successfully pro gressing under direction of the Sanitary Com mission. lint ill addition to their contributions to that, it is believed that the particular friends of Maine Soldiers will be ready to aid this Association in the work they undertake. We therefore invite all interested to collect ami forward supplies immediatelyall kinds of clothing, iicir or oloiiml pack ages of tea and sugar, jellies, wines, brandies, and soap, and whatever may tie useful and re freshing. ami may he conveyed safely to those who need them, and money also. And the Board pledges themselves to secure the safe transportation and faithful administration of these supplies. Head-Quarters. 2d Div., 2d Coitus I D'Armee, Bolivar, Oct. 20,1962. J if re. Eaton and iIre. Fogg, Mesdames; I am happy to learn that you arc engaged in the noble hilt difficult work of improving the con dition of our sick soldiers in the licgiinental Hospitals. It is to these Hospitals that the sick soldier is first brought, and here is found tlie most suffering witli the fewest comforts. I am very sure that ladies like yourselves, of suitable age. good judgment, discretion und energy, and actuated by right motives, can lie of great ralue in improving the condition of Field Regimental Hospitals.

Vols., Berlin, I Md., Nov. 19, 1802. i I have examined carefully the principles and working of the Maine Soldiers’ Relief Society, and am pleased to give my testimony iu its favor. There is a want in Regimental Hospitals which neither the Medical department of the army, nor the Sanitary Commission can reach, and that want, the Relief Society, if its origin al plans be carried out energetically and in good faith, is destined to relieve. Iu order to accomplish iu irhole work iu Agents must I take the field, and there learn by personal ob serration the deprivations, and sufferings of tbe soldiers iu camp, and bring them relief di rectly. H. N. HOWARD, Asst. Surgeon iu charge of 10th Maine Regiment. Head-Quarters. 10th Me. Vols., Berlin, Nov. 19th, 1802. J I fuUy approve and concur in the mission of these Ladies. Mrs. Eaton and Fogg, belong ing to the Soldiers’ Aid Society, ami believe from what I have seen that they are doing g good work and relieving a great many who would sillier were it not for their kindly and j helping hands. GEO. 1,. REAL, Col. Corn’g lOtli Me. Vols. Approved as above. J. S. FILLEBROWN, I.t. Col. loth Me. Regiment. Berlin, Nov. 10th, 1802. When last in Portland, conversing with you I touching the proposed work of our excellent sister Eaton, and her associate Mrs. Fogg. I ex pressed some doubt as to the possibility of car rytng out their proposed plan. I am now hap py t inform you that they are eminently suc cessful in their self-imposed work of mercy. The Hospitals ought to l»e, and to a great extent really are, houses of mercy. The San itary Commission is doing a great and benev olent work: and yet there are hundreds of our suffering soldiers whom Hospital employees, j and ageuts of the Sanitary Commission can j not be expected to reach, or immediately mln 1 ister to. There are many sick and wounded in temporary Hospitals, and, in the track of a moving army, by the wayside, and in half ruined buildings, who too often are dependent on the stinted charity of a people disheartened and desolated by actual war. These poor suf ferers sometimes actually lie for successive days without medical aid, or any proper nurs hip. These pood Ladies, whom the benevolent have sent from Maine, are successfully doing, not all that their own nohle hearts may prompt, or their patrons desire, but an immense amount of most important work, work which, without just such efforts as they are making, must re j main undone. .Seeing them so successful, I desire to inform you that the doubts which I expressed when in Portland a few weeks ago, are entirely dis pelled; and I would earnestly encourage those now engaged in this labor of love and patriot ism, to a patient continuance in well doing.— I have not time to give you even a few trom the multitude of facts bearing on tills subject. Could you have been here during the last two or three weeks, you would have had most am ple proof of the need of just such persons as you have sent, and just such labor as they are performing.
