' Bob, sou remember what a devil of

j veo. Well, these enssed fools down
i here make their negroes learn Frenoo.
1 saw H'line in Mobile, black as our
•Id Josh, that could jabber away in
French like goenc. It made me feel
had to think l had been to school so
much, and after all, not as well edu
cated as a Mobile nigger.
But the thiug 1 miss most, after ci
gars and whisky, is the women. Devil
a petticoat have 1 Been since first I
landed on these barbarous shores ;
yc-i 1 have, too—a little mermaid
! came rowing up the river the other
day, with oysters to sell. A real,
sure-enough mermaid, with web-fing
ers and scab s. I did’nt sen her—her
bully-part, to he sure; but ain con
vinced she had one. This is no place
for wometi folks.
I have pulled off my coat and boots
mid am setting writing to you out un
der a big tree ; none of your common
t green trees, but a bay tree. The woods
1 imrc Consist mostly of large pine or
| chards, from which the owners manu
lacture'tt superior article of molasses,
so 1 am informed. There are plenty
pf cucumber trees here, too ; Home of
the hoys dug down, and told me they
Had ingun roots. But the magnolia
trees lay all the others in tin; shade.
It is from the sap of this tree that the
celebrated Pike’s Magnolia Whiskey
is made, only wc hav’ut found out bow
lo make it. There is a great ahun
d nice of Indian Turnips, Prickley
Pears, itnd other esculent roots, grow
ifg close by ; upon which we mainly
■ uliMiat at present—provisions being
short". As for other vegetables—such
ts beef, bacon, whiskey, and butter—
they m e remarkably scarce. I bav'f

I know, wocii they’w had a couple of
! Horns, behave like bulls and beasts.
And then the hogs—you ought to
see them ; great long sharp things—
look like they were made to fight
with ; and whenever they stick their
j noses in fin* ground to root, tiled be
hind legs tilt up
But the Insects beat all. There arc
Grocodiies, Gophers, Anaconders, Sea
Turkics,' and many other lieajfls of
prey, too numerous to mention. The
two I'omphools fAsa. and Theophilus,
they Ijoth belong to our battalion—
we call one of them A. Dannphoo! and
the other The. DamphoolJ they are
both afraid to go outside the guard
ifter dark. They say its the varments;
hut, between us t.vo, its the Yankees
they’re afraid of. But, to tell the
iruih, the wild beasts are troublesome.
Only Inst Friday night, an itnm ns •
All'gutiir, upwards of sixty-odd feet,
seven inches in length, erav#led up in
to camp and swallowed your poor
brother. Poor Jim, his shrieks and
veils wore heart-rending as Ahe Sar
pent waggled off with him into the
swamp* ; but it was no use. VVe all
run down -in our shirts to help him,
but just ns we bud formed into a hol
