As you see by the heading of this letter, we have
ct last, after q tiresome Journey, brought up at
Csilipoisy Gallpoiccs pronounced on The banks
of the Ohio. We left Camp Taylor last Friday
morning about 10 o'clock, and at about O'Clock in
the afternoon arrived at Columbus We marched
through the principal streets to the Arsenal, and
received there part of our "rgging,' viz; KNAPP
sack, havcrsack, (for protisons) an India rubber
canteen, for water cartridge box, muskct, and
the trimmings to it. AS we were all rather green,
we did not know how they were worn, and hung
them around our nccks rather proniscuously, SO
that we looked like those one-horsc tin pan
pedler wagons, that YOU sometimes see passing
through the street than anything else can compare
ourselves to- 1t was quite weary march out to
Camp Jackson, through the dust, with our heavy
muskets on our shoulder and knapsacks and a
dozen other kinds of sacks bobbing around in every
direction at every step. We went Immediately to
work on arriving there, at selecting our baggage
and fixing our hunks On leave of absence from
Capt. Cook, Carey Lindsey and myself went
to Ambroze Hall and got excellent meal, and then
started back to camp. Near the gate We were met
by some of the soldiers who informed us that if we
presented ourselves there nj that time of night and
got inside the "pickct guard, would be sent to
the guard house without any chance Of explanation
whatever. Learning this, we went back to the
Buckeye House, where we met MIR. Parks, and ON
