the camp. Go VIC put on our equipments,
shoulder our gun, leave the much be,oued
dinner, and fall into line. In line We
are, and for long time we stay waiting
for the appearance Of Father Abrahaul.-
The wind blows keeniy the toes get cold,
tie body chilled. and the dinnerless

ordered to stack arms and be ready to

the afternoon had passed, we were for the
third time formed in line, and this time
a,srched to some kfge open field, to
. await the sr:ivas Of President Lincoln,
Gen. Hooker and others. The day WAS
fne, though 4 cold. piercing wind pre-
vailed, going to the very marrow. Final
ly, the President, Gen. Hooker and
others, followed by large and brillians
staff, appeared on the ground. President
Lincoln wss escorted in re.-iew of our
brigade by Gen. Humphreys. Gen. Hook

weighed heavily uron him. Ie seems

have been partly caused by the GOODNESS
OF the prevailing wind. AS Honest Aoc
: ~ss passing the centre Of each regiment,
The eoiors were dipped ana tfrce hearty
cheers, loud and long, rose from the ranks.
They we're such cheers as could leave no
doubt IN the breast of the Nations Chief
that the hearts IF the soldiers are unit
10 support Of bis endeavors to crush out
treason. Would TO God those cheers
could reyerberate oyer hill and through
Saitey until reaching our own dear State,
they would 6ttingly tell those who can
and delight only in assailing the Admin
sstsation how heartily they are despised
by the soldiers. Gen. Hooker looks well
and much pleased with his army. No
man of this army whom we have seen
socks much ike soldier as he, and
Well may he be pleased, for he has an
army Of which any general should be
proud
