pleasant weather and quietude in our camp.
We are pleasantly located in beautiful
grove, conveniently situated to very good
water, and have become somewhat attached
to the place.

ade gave Pic Mic Party to the ladies of
this vicinity: Quite number Of ladies
were present, and from an early hour tho
dance moved nerrily on, while every one
enjoyed ia feast Of humor and flow of soul"
When dinner vas announced each gallant
escorted his "lady air to The tables which
we're heavily laden with the best of the
land. Tho viands were rich the cakes ex.
cellent, and the eggnogg superb. Many
bearts we're offered and accepted, as they
always arc, on such occasions, to the shrine
Of Love and Beauty. Everything passed
off pleasantly to all parties.

1t is pleasing for one to observe the in
timacy existing between the officers and
men Of the 10th and 10th Regiments.
There seems to exist nothing but good will
between them. There being but the two

is one reason for their feeling more like
brothers. Our Regiment is composed often

mand of the 4th Brigade, known as "Mani-
gaults Brigade" Capt. C.J. Walker is

ter.
Private J. T. Clamp, of Abbeville Dis
trict member Of Capt. Addison Cinkscales
Company was in camp few days ago, an
exchanged prisoner Of war. Clamp is
good soldier and deserves great credit for
his galantry on field of battle at Murfrees-
boro. In the battle he received three wounds
which were painful, and supposed by his
friends to be mortal. At the evacuation Of
Murfreesboro he fell into the hands of the
enemy: After three months be had par
TALLY recovered, and was exchanged. He
come promptly to his company, but being
still unable for duty was sent to hospital,
and we hope, ere now, that he has Seen
furloughed home.
In reply to H." We would say, "yes."
