FIELD OF SHILOH, May lst, 1862.
1 would have written sooner, but l
have been kept pretty busy for the last
week; field officers who are well are not
plenty in the regiments, and those who
are able to do duty have to suffer. We
came off picket duty on the eth, and on
the 28th received orders to cook two days
rations, and prepare for immediate action
at a moments notice. This we did with
as much pleasure as if we had all been in
vited to grand wedding party. That
night we received marching orders for
seven o'clock, A. NJ, of the 29th the
order was duly obeyed in the midst of
very heavy rain.
This point is about four miles in ad-
vance of our old camp, and is on the
banks of Lick creek it is some miles
from the river, in the direction of Corinth
We expected to have to fight for the posi-
ton, but the rebels did not contest the
ground in the centre. The right of the
army had little skirmishing to do in the
early part of the day.
Yesterday evening started at half past
five to make road in advance of our divi-
sion over Lick Greek Bottom, and by 4
O'Clock, p. M, when Gen. McCook ar
rived on the ground, the road was COM
pleted, and quite a good sized log bridge
thrown over the stream. did not think
| had any practical genius, but perhaps
circumstances will develop it.
We are again ordered on picket this
afternoon for "a hours, so you see these
are busy times. 1t requires great vigi
lance and care on the part of those who
do picket duty now, not only for the pur
pose of preventing surprise, but fo1
their own protection. l was honored witt
the position of commandant of the ex,
treme outposts, by Gen. johnson, wher
out before. This is very importan
duty, and l hope l will escape tonight
for l feel somewhat fatigued already, ant
would be obliged to be in the saddle nearly
all night.
Our army is moving up gradually,
few miles at a time, which think is goot

Congress.

The National Congress is dragging it's
slow length along, members enjoying the
free and easy life that opens up to them
in the Federal City; attending for few
hours upon the sittings Of the houses to
which they respectively belong, casting
a ballot or making speech for bunkum;
and thus the days and weeks of congress
sional life pass on. The most impor-
tant bill passed by Congress this session,
and which has received the signature Of
the President, and is now law, is the
emancipation of the slaves in the District
Of Columbia, thus making free at least
ten miles of country within the radius of
the capitol. The National Tax Bill has
not as yet passed both houses, but the
prospect is that without any material
amendments it will become law, and
will go into operation on or about the lst
OF July. Let them now pass, in justice
to loyal citiz ,ns, confiscation bill--and
then We think they will be about ready
TO adjourn.
