From Stockton's Regiment

ITu.l.'s HlLL, Va, March 5th, 1862. Dkar 13rotiii:ü : - I am still in tho hospital, luit am doing well. I was at niy tent veaterdaj', and nlso to-day, and ehall remove there na soon u il becotnes picasant weuther, and lief'ii'ü if il does not oleur off soon. It ia two weeks to day sin;o 1 cnme liere. For tho Erst lew dtiys I was very eick iih llio typhoid feVor. Tho Dr. said that it wns one of the most boaiitifnl cases tllat h'e ever saw; he Raid that hu inoint ly tl;;it, it va3 a puro aiid simple cuso of typboid, without any oiher dUeaoe connculcd ffhti it. The hospital, Iet irio describu t to you. It is n jarge tent, without any floor, wartuod by a sheot iron stove, which ia situated in the center, and a firo is kept going in it Dight and day, which roakee it vcry conofortable. - Thcru ure U-u becls in it. The bud steads ure of iron, on which are straw matreRON; Iho pillowg are of the same iTiatfi ia', but the pillow case? are awful dirty, and look 08 if they had not beoii cliangud sinco Adam was a boy. The beds hnve plenty of blankots on them. When I first enteied the hospital it was ful!, and so when they reccived a now patiënt they would send one of the old ones buck to hia cjuarters in his tent. There bas been socno very sevore winda siuce I havo been here, nhich shook tho old tentsome, - One day I thought it was Lrt!ng over surc, and I gotout of rriy bed, put on I _j uiotnos, and got ready to take quick leave, but about ten good etout haüd3 manngöd to keep it up, whilo others drove stakes, threw out guy ropas, and strenglíiened it so that it Rtood out the storm. The same wind blew down a great ir.any of the tenis throughout the camp. When I was first taken siuk I made a request to bu sent to tho hospital at Georgetown and the papers were minediately mado out, but for somc reason or other I was not sent. On Sunday last tho sickest in the hospital were sent to Georgetown, and was informed that I was to besent there toe, but I made a request not tube sent, as I was gett!ng botter fast. The Dr. inforruod mo that they wcro about to ruBrofa, and that I would not bo ablü to raarob, but he finally gave np, and so I am here still, and I think that I fihall be ible to tntti';h when the regiment does, wbicb wil] probubly be very soon. There is n.j newe of any irnportance. This división is under marching order?. This regiment has orders to have three days provUions in their haversaoks, forty rounds of cartridges in their cartridge boxee and twenty in their knapsacks. Tliey are also ordered to turn out at roll cali with their cartridge boxes on and their guns in their bands. 80 you will perceive that they aro going to have the menalwaysin marching orders. A few weeks of ploasant weather will teil the story. The army of the Potomac will move, conquer or be conquered. Manassap will be taken or the army of the Potomac defeated, It is trying to get up a snow s'.orm this afternoon, and I think likely it will mako it out. J. P. jL5L" Lieut.
