very heavy whiskers and mustache. Myram Amich is also well although I have not seen him.

      Thus dear parents, you I suppose had a pretty good time on New-Years day, but I had a regular 4 of Juy.   Persons in civil life cannot form the most remote idea of an army on a battle field, and nothing would pay a man of leisure enough as to visit an army like we have down here, (He would go home more than astonished). 
      While we were fighting before Murfreesboro, the rebels in Nashville were conspiring to take Fort Negley, which being discovered a few of the the ringleaders were hung and the plot failed. 
    In all of the fight our officers behaved nobly, very frequently Gen'l Rosecranz rode along the front cheering forward the men. 
     Gen'l Rosecrans, McCook, Negley and Thomas were continually around acting nobly.     I suppose as a natural consequence of this victory Gen'l Rosecranz will be called to Washington to take command of the Army of the Potomac which proves the ruin of all our Generals.  I will describe the battle field in my next letter.   Remember me to all
