Nothing of importance occurred, except that on the 24th a cavalry scout was shot-probably by someone of the treacherous inhabitants which caused a report of the enemy's presence in force. Extensive reconnaissances were made but no enemy could be found.
The month of February was still more unpleasant than the previous month, and very little was done in camp. The drill we attended to principally when the weather could allow, was the bayonet exercise.- 1st Lt. Kelley of Co. K resigned and was discharged Feb.26.- March 5 Lt. Col. Fuller having tendered his resignation and been discharged, left the regiment. March 9th to 12th the regiment was on picket, the lines now being extended to Pohick Creek. On the evening of Sunday March 9th the first notice of the evacuation by the enemy of their positions at Manassas and Occoquon
