Editor Signal I will give you a little of the life in Porto Rico. To say the least to be amule belonging to a Mississippi nigger would be an improvement on a soldier's life here. We went ashore at Mayaguez, Aug 12, and stayed in the dock until Sunday, Aug 14. On that day we took possession of the Garrison and was fine place; we found enough clothing for a regiment, but out side of many relics they were of no use to us and we burned them up. We found plenty of cots, enough for every man to have one and plenty left. On the 16th we commenced scouting and kept that up until on Aug 30 the day we arrived at Ponce. We captured amny prisoners but had fighting from the 26th to the 30th. We went through enough to kill the stontest man in America. We left Mayaguez, Aug 26th and went to Sangerman, Sivini Yoco and several other towns on our route. The distance was 84 miles and after the first half day, it commenced raining and it rained day and night the rest of our march. We had creeks and rivers to cross in endless numbers no bridges or other means of crossing except to wade or swim. The Sangerman river was the most dangerous of any; we had three men drowned and lost one wagon and contents. One of the men was a volunteer by the name of Brooks and lived in Louisville. The other two were natives. We lost about 150 guns in crossing. The water was very swift and we made the crossing by means of a rope stretched across the river which made an improvised boom, and when we got into the river the current would whirl us a distance of about a hundred yards like you were sot out of a gun. Our wagons were not able to keep up with us and some nights we had to sleep on the ground without tents, cover or food and nothing but our guns for a pillow and it raining all the time. Here at midnight you get very cold and at noon the heat is intense. After you get a few miles from the shore and get in the mountains it rains all the time. Porto Rico is nothing but a range of mountains, no level land, even the city of San German, a place of 25,000 is built on the sides of mountains. The old Mt Vernon hill is a small hill compared with Porto Rico. The products consist fruits, nuts, coffee, sugar &c. No apples or peaches grow here; it is bannanas, pineapples, mangoes and coconuts in abundance. The scenry is beautiful to behold. The natives all speak the Spanish language and you cannot learn anything from them. We are now in camp at Ponce about three miles from shore on a beautiful plain surrounded entirely by mountains. We are just at the foot of the mountain. We do not know when we will leave here nor where we will go. We have lost three men since our arrival in the island and one third of the Regiment is not able for duty. I have been confined three days, but am better today, and I think by tomorrow will be out. Ponce is a nice city for Porto Rico much of the city is builto on modern style; population 32,000. Give my regards to all, especially the Old Spout Spring a drink form in now would be sweet. M.F.

Bartlett of Manse Ky and 40 or 50 others armed themselves with lanterns and matches and went to see the other endo of what is known as the old Andy Fletcher cave; so named because of this gentleman having made a saltpeter there in 1809 and 1812 for the war of 1812. When we reached the cave our party being clad in thier Sunday dress, hesitated, and some like Lot's wife, turned back. About twenty went into the cae with Willis Johnson as guide. When about 200 feet from the entrance the interior becomes very large and our anxious eyes were all a stare and not noticing Rev Barlett who had preceeded our guide was seated on apillar of salt; and when the cry was made as to where was Lots wife, Bro B. replied; "Here the old sister is" and upon looking saw him seated upon the sone which is white sand stone and bears the resemblance of a woman, her head and arms being knocked off by curiosity seekers. Her physique being perfect with thiese exceptions. At this point all of the party turned back but three. The next thing of interest was an elevated plateau of bout 6 feet high surrounded by a walk 6 feet wide. This table was about 50 feet long, and upon it was a beautiful pool of water about 10 feet in area. This pool is constructed like the pool of Siloam. Leaving this we next come to the main entrance and u0pon examination we found perfect ox tracks made there in 1812. Next we come to the torn down walls...toweres of Morro, bringing to my mind a slight representation of said castle after the bombardment. There were many other sights of interest but have not time to mention Tom J. Proctor is building a good sized coal house for the county officials. This should have been done long ago, as it will prevent the scattering of coal all over the yard and will prevent thieves from taking coal away at night.
