more than we can tell. Take the jottirgs

pleasure in perusiDg. shall be satisfied.
Thursday, l8th.-Left Camp Wallace at
p. NJ, with three guns, rumbling down
the mountains, then along tho Independence
pike, making a march of five miles, and
camping for the night at Latonia Springs
10Th. Started after breakfast, expecting
at evory bend of tho road to feel the force
of Secesh argument. By this timo, our
brigade consisted of about four thousand
men, including three hundred cavalry scouts
Horse and foot were thrown out. For the
first four miles we proceeded worry slowly.
As We crept along, our cavalry had an occa-
sional skrmish, capturing nine Secosb aud
two horses. Passed through Independence
and camped about four miles beyond. Then
nothing TO eat but hard crackers, and water
not pure enough to wash cellar floor.
Three of us went out, and bought a pig
and goose, not very fat; but, by the time
we got back to camp, most of the boys had
become claspod in the arms of luscious
slumber; so the deyOuring had to be done
in the morning
Goth Morning, rode about eight
miles before breakfast, to find salt for our
fresh meat, going one and half miles be-
yond our cavalry pickets. Took few more
prisoners aud number of horses from Sc.
ceSsion inhabitants on the line of march.
Arrived in Crittenden; quite q loyal,
pretty little place. We were we'll received
by tho ladies, mostly every Que giving some
of tho Battery splendid supper. We
learned there that Jeff.'s mon had retreated
that morning in a tremendous hurry, and
We were overjoyed at the expectation of
having a brush in the morning, Sunday
being the day our army generally do up
fighting.
Sunday, 2lst,-Morning came, and with
