This has been great day with the SOL
oilers on the north waterstOf the Potomac.
This morning at roll call, the Orderly
announced to the men that thisiwould5 be
u day OF general review, and warned them
all to get their arms and Announcements in
good order, and be prepared Mt precisely
ten O'clock, to fall in by company, aud form
with the rest Of the regiment, to march 10
the review ground. So long have we all
been laying on our arms, that we were
anxious for move of some kind; conse.
quently this order was hailed with joy.
The hour of ten soon rolled around, and
AZ twenty minutes past the appointed hour
the regiment was formed, and we were
soon on our march to the place of review,
where we shortly arrived and formed our
battalion on an eminencC, there 10 remain
for further orders; but we had not long to
witt. Gen. Tyler soon made his appear
ance and put US through form of tho re-
view as it would take place when General
Lander should come. This being done we
were again drawnup in line of battle there
TO await the coming of Gen. L. While we
thus remained in line two pieces of nrtil.
lery belched forth the national salute which
echoed 10 the distant mountains like sum-
mer thunder, and sent n patriotic thrill
along the whole line. While we thus re-
manned Gen. Tyler commanded Col. Buck

with blank cartridge, and have three COM
panles of the lIOlh PennsylVania do the
same. This being done, all awaited nux-
1onsly the coming of Gen. Lander. Some
thing like one hour we stood in ranks, and
about the time the patience of the settlers
was pretty well exhausted, the coming of
