Lieut. B. got off a fine thing. Excited and correct he jumps up and rapidly dresses himself. "No," says he, "let us see, where shall I go to find out whether we are going to move or not." Rushes out the tent and pretty soon I hear him waking the Captain. "Captain, Captain, why ain't you get up? going to move at 7oclock this morning." Pretty soon he is back again. "Now," says he," Where shall I go to find out"? I laugh heartily at him and off he goes.
100K A.M. The column has halted for a rest on the Little River turnpike our regiment being ahead. Genl. Slocum is here with us and the men all feel splendidly.
