Day before yesterday I visited Dr. W arder; a man about 50 years old who practiced medicine in Cincinnati for twenty year*, and has been retired on a farm about 6 to |miles aboTC W e , for six or seven years. He and his family, consisting of three grown up daughters, one son about 40 and another about 12, are* Quakers; very sociable- and pleasant however. He has a large farm, "say 500 acres, and he is engaged largely ' in fruit culture ; apples, peaches and grapes arc the staples, and we have bad a good opportunity to test tbeir virtues for he has sent us down two ! baskets o f grapes— very nice, and peaches without much stint—a very I fine country residence— high up ; among the trees with a beautiful view np the Ohio Iliver for six miles. T h eir house is about 400 feet above low water, the road winding up for one third of a mile through beautiful grounds that are ornamented with trees and shrubs. From one part of bis grounds they can look dovn upon dor Camp and see our regiment in their drill and parade, and with a good glass can almost distinguish persons in the morning when the snn •bines clear. The Doctor took me oyer his grounds and pointed out; matters o f interest to be seen in the distance, on, both sides of the river, as far down as Aurora, Ind., a dis tance of 12 miles. Each iof us had |; :■i*.v a good glass with which houses and , even men could be seen at that d is-! tance. I passed by the grave ol President Harrison, and by the way, this streateh cf country for eight or ten miles along the river from the �^ 1 ; f cv A men could be wen at Unit dis tance, I passed by the grave of ' President Harrison, and by the way, 1 this streateh c f country for eight or 1 ten miles along the river from th e ; ' mouth o f the I/tt’.c Miama to above j ’ the North Bend, was formerly owned by General Harrisor, and is still own' ed by his descendants. His w id o ^ stUi survics and lives with her son about a mile and a liaPf below here.— . They sent us up to-night four cans of : fruit, strawberries, blackberries and ; raspberries, some apples and some \1 nice squashes. 'i Some of our men seem quite anx- j j ; ious and say they are “ spoiling for a 3 j fight, but I presume we shall r.ot be : sent into the held unless an emergency arises till we are more perfect in j the school of soldiery. j« William Oaks has measles to-dav, !l none others, I believe from St. Jo- 1 soph,. None sick from our neighbor- ] hood now hut him. There arc thirty , in hospital, and about sixty m ore! complaining in camp mostly with: ague and diarrhma. No deaths in j J the regiment since we came here. , t Only ouc since its organization, j Change o f climate, water and food 1 increases our number of sick, mate- * ria lly , l>nt tl*a o a a e u n r e m o d l v Im w i- * al and last only for a day or two. , The water here from springs and g wells contains a large percentage of Sulphates o f Lime and Magnesia, i e. Plaster and Epsotn salts. These to P aom eextent effect the men producing * diarrhoeas. The water from the riv * ( cr is more wholesome—but the men ' I can hardly l ring themselves to drink river water, because they, have seen j * a dead horse in it a mile or two above,; t and they say we are drinking the ; t washings of the seures of Cincin- j t nati. ’ But water running a few miles j over a gravel bottom will have its : ; impurities precipitated, and chem i-p cally the Ohio river water is the pu- j rest there is here, except rain w ater,; t and the best for health.
