Gross Keys should demand an enquiry. With
out provisions, our horses falling by the way
side, our men filling the ambulances and strag-
Cling in the woods and falling exhausted by
the hardships and privations of that long
march, compelled us to retire to Mount Jack
son to wait for the supply train. We fell back
and rested for two days. Last Sunday the or
der came for Gen. Bayard's brigade to march
to Front Royal We arrived there Tuesday
morning-there we joined the other section of
our battery which was left in charge of Lieut..
Perry. The boys were glad to see us, also
Major Tillson who was not present with u.s.
We expected at least one days rest but before
we reach the camp we were ordered to Manas-
sas. We are now here; our guns came by
rail and our horses are crossing the mountains,
we expect them tomorrow. We are waiting
for our horsee and then we leave. We do not
know where we are going; some thing we are
going to Richmond to join General Mcclellan,
but it is useless to speculate everything in
war is mighty unsartin.' S.P.

DEAR -:-I am lying upon the ground

have fitted up for a writing desk.
What to tell you or how to commence
scarcely know. / could write all day and then
not inform you of all our battery has been
through since | wrote you at Fredericksburg,
where we were expecting orders to move in
the direction of Richmond.
The bridges across the Rappahannock were
finished and a month ago we were all ready to
start. The defeat of Gen. Banks reached our
army, and Immediately we were ordered to Al
exandria to be ready to defend the Capitol. 1t
was Sabbath morning as we commenced our
march for Washington. preached to the men
in the afternoon.
While on our way, having marched two days
an orderly met us bringing dispatches from
headquarters to march to Manassas Junction
We arrived here the Thursday following and
rested one day. We were obliged to leave
Henry Lowell at Manassas He was very un-
WELL He bore up nobly and was anxious to
90 with us and take his chance with the bat
terry in the time ofdanger, buthe could proceed
no further.
We had hard time on the road. We slept
in the fields and by the roadside. Our clothes
were often drenched by the falling rain. 1t
was forced march-and early and late we
were on the road. When we arrived at Manas-
sas we received orders to march to Front Roy
al. We started early Friday morning, crossed
the mountains and entered Front Royal at two
o'clock the Sunday following. Our men were
fairly beaten out, fatiguedand fairly exhausted.
Some fell off their horses crossing the noun
tains. We had as much as we could do to keep
our men awake to drive our horses which took
our guns to Front Royal. Often found my
self going to sleep on my horse. tried to get
place to sleep at Front Royal. l could find
none; it rained in torrents and crept under
wagon, and soon was as soundly asleep as if
had been in gool bed at Portland. At day
