When the President issued his first

have often thou ht, and it occurred sew
ersl times to me this day, how little our
friends at home know of what soldier
has to endure. The heat of the sun was
like blast from a hot furnace. Strong
men fell by the way from utter exhaus-
ton. The great danger was liability to
sun stroke, and great many cases of
this kind occurred Water was exceed.
ingly scarce One Of company "C,' an
en,erpri>ing fellow in discovering things
belonging to rebels, got up a water cart;
at every good cistern along the road he
would fill his barrel, and this kept US
pretty we'll supplied No description
merely can convey true idea Of our
condition this burning day. A master
painter filed with The inspiration Of HE
art, could perhaps have put on canvass
the long cloud OF dust hanging over the
roa !, aud here and there begrimmed
with dust and perspira,ion soldier form,
with exhausted, almost painful look-a
weary face looking wistfully to the SHADY
places on the way We passed SO swiftly,
but resolution and determination sat on
their faces az well. In marches OF this
kind there is almost perfect silence in
the ranks, each man is occupied wholly
with himself-to keep his place, aud
tramp, tramp on, until his steps become
almost mechanical
About 2 o'clock p M We reached
some springs and shade in which we
were to rest, as We had marched about
nineteen miles. After resting an hour.
a most fierce and awful thunder storm
burst upon US, We were 10 order Of
march again, and through the fcrcest
rain and most crushing thunder, We con.
tinued our march to Big Black. 1t was
a splendid instance of Southern thur.
der storm. A great many soldiers were
struck by lightnipg-some were killed.
instead of wadipg in deep dust, we now
waded in deep water, the roads were
OVERLOOKING. We crossed the Big Black
after dark and dropped down to sleep,
when We dreamed of nice well furnished
tables, and of comfortable beds and
friendly faces far away.
I think our Mississippi campaign is
ended 1t was great disappointment
to the army not TO capture Johnston ard
his men, but to cause him to flee away
was nearly as good as capture In our
