BERMUDA HU.DRED, Sep't. 2lst, 1864.
On Friday, the 10th, We broke camp at
Harrisburg, maphed over the river, and
in the evening, as the brightness of the
setting sun was reflected from steeple and
house-top, we turned our backs on the
capital of thegreat State in whose name
we were gong forth. A few familiar
faces stood afcr the departure of the train,
watching itas it glided along the banks
of the Susqunanna. The congregation in
the doors ard at the windows, of women,
children apd old men, and their parting
cheer and heir waving Of handkerchlets,
told that dsspite the suffering of the past
three and half years, the heart OF the
people still beats to the music of the union.
In the night, we arrived in Baltimore,
where we remained till evening, when We
took passage in the boat 4rmitdye Briar.y
for CityPoint Sunday evening we passed
Fortress Monroe, and proceeded few
miles up the James, when We lay 20 for
the night, the pilot not being sufficiently
acquainted with the river to proceed
Arriving at City Point, about two O'Clock
next day, We remained until evening,
when we crossed to Bermuda Hundred
landing. We are now in camp about two
miles from the point OF debarkatlon.-
Every one is rapidly making himself COM
Portable. The situation is good save IN
regard to water, which is exceedingly
scarce.
