A Harrisburgh, Penn., paper gives the following description of our Fifth Wisconsin Regiment (in which is our Manitowoc Company,) as it passed through that city:

Fifth Wisconsin Regiment,—This regiment from the far North West, is now in this city, encamped near Camp Curtin. Some things are reported of these men worthy of note. They are chiefly lumbermen, miners and met living upon their own resources. They have been well clothed and furnished by their State, the Legislature having appropriated liberally for such purpose. The following are the regimental officers:

We have on hand a large number of letters from the soldiers, some directed to ourselves, and some of which have been handed in by others who have received them.

Generally, they are made up of items of news, which have since been published, and so are of no general interest.

One is from Henry Fifield, of this place, and is dated, Washington, June 30th. Speaking of passing through Baltimore, he says, Every man in the regiment had his musket loaded and half cocked, and felt determined to fight like thunder, if necessary.”
