Vernon. . - k : . , . Yott will see by the date of my communica- tuon that the 43d Regiment ia far into the en- emy'a country. New Madrid being on the Mia wsippi in ane extreme south-eastern portion orMiasoorr. If I had written this latter soon r, I might have 'occupied it mainly with an acconnt of onr journey of about 900 mile from ML-Vmrnon. hither, but by the delay I am en abled to speak of things of more Importance than any incidents of our trip. ' Our first place f debarkation, from the boat on which we took passage at Cincinnati was at Commerce, Mo. on the upper Mississippi, thirty miles above CairoV At the time of our arrival at that point there were already a large number of troops encamped pear the place, which had arrived a few daya previous, being the foundation of what ia now the "Army of the Mississippi," under General Pope. The 43d had been en-' camped hut two days before it was ordered to move forward, and it was accordingly placed An a brigade of four Ohio regiments which waa -f form part of an expedition against New Ma-drid, a town aixty miles southeast, said to be held bra email force of rebels under the noted outlaw Jeff. Thompson.' We took up the line ortoareh on Friday.

The day had been warm too : iSnehtit'uringhe night a terific and long-continued thunderstorm prevaifedj whichf prevented onr hearing anything of the movements of the enemy, save the puffing of steam on their boats. Aa preparations were'making "on Tridajr morning for a renewal of the attack news reached our lines that during the night the enemy hid evacuated their town and artifieatione, and gone, it : waa eupposed, to seek a place where they could be Viet alone." Upon confirmation of this, oar forces at' once took possession of their forts and commenced arranging them for defence against an attempt of re-capture. .The flight of the enemy seems to have been hasty, as they left some twenty large guns, all their me nitions, etc., without any apparent attempt of destroying them. 77. v .. . In their forts was found a kind of arms such as I have not before heard of being used in this war. They were pikes or lances a -la John Brown's, with a sharp scimiter-Iike hook at the end near the spear. It is supposed they were to be used against charges of cavalry. On Saturday large numbers of the troops in camp were marched down to view7 the town, forts, etc, and. goiog upon the ramparts, three cheers for the Union were given by some thousands of voices, and the "Star Spangled Banner,' "Yankee. Doodle." etcJ,' were played. while the American Flag waa raised where the emblem of rebellion had flaunted but forty-eight houra before. if. thev have thev -win .appreciate the, , lowing: It ceentt that ia the hasty jgigfct$ the rebels from their: works beta laat Thwra-day night, they neglected, to call hi llaeonta.
