Ed Journal: Monotony reigns profound
in the neck O. the woods" wherein Com
pany F, has its its abiding place" Dur
ing the past week, scarcely an incident
worth noting has occurred in camp.
The health of the company continues
good. siegmund Shaller went to the hos.
pital last Saturday. sick with intermittent
fever, but he is now improving. Caleb
Miller remains in hospital ct Relay Bar
racks; and learn that Corporal Garner
who remained at Relay House, when we
came here--is now in hospital t1ero with
fever.
Persons from Rolay House, state that the
Companies of Captains Kitchen and Hath
away, at Fort Dix, are enjoying very good
health. They have few cases of sickness
but have heard of none which are re,
garded as dangerous.
On Friday last, Samuel Holder, of Cap.
tain McKee's company, passed here, on
his way home. He had been granted a
furlough, on account of lame foot, which
disabled him from service. At that time
Austin Bassott, of the same company, was
very sick, and his recovery was considered
extremely doubtful OF his present CON
diton am not informed.
A few days since had the pleasure of
meeting Captain Black, here, and at that
time he stated that not man of his com
pany was sick.
Both of the lastrmentioned companies
yet remain at Camp Parole.
Yesterday we received brief visit from
Lieutenant Colonel Miller, who, it will be
remembered, remained at Fort McHenry, as
Provost Marshal of the Post. when the l44th
left there. He still occupies the position,
and looks " hale, hearty and iovial," as
usual. By the way, have heretofore fail
ed to notice that some weeks since Colonel
Miller asked to be relieved of the duties of
Provost Marshal of the Fort, that he might
join his regiment Instead, however, of
his request being granted, his letter was
returned to him having an indorsoment by
Brigadier General Morris, commanding the
Post, to the effect that the-General com
manding respectfully declined to relieve
him. as his administration had given great
satisfaction, and the General then knew
of no officer there so we'll qualified to dis
charge the duties of the Provost Marshal s
Office, Colonel Miller. however, hopes
soon to be able to join some portion of his
regiment-whieh, as have before inform
ed you, is considerably scattered.
long train of wounded men passed
here yesterday, and about thirty members
of this company were sent to the station
to pass water TO the gallant fellows, dur
ing the few minutes which they stopped.
The train consisted principally of " box
cars, and most of the men having received
what are in war parlance called slight
wounds were able to walk, and in meas
ure help themselves. Yet in passing along
the train, one could not fail to see painful
sights. Many wanted cold water poured
upon their wounds, and this was done when
they requested it, For this purpose, one
man uncovered a stump Of an arm, only
five or six inches Of which remained an.
