Near Imlaystown, q. 80 o'clock, A. M.
During the night we have had severe rain
Storm, and ] am glad Of it, it gives us some
chance to learn what tenting is in rainy
weather. All are dry and sleeping comforta-
bly-sleeping soundly. As we are not troubl-
ed with mosquitoes, we seem to have chance
to make up the time we lost on Friday night
Yesterday was one Of severe labor, both for
our team and for ourselves. We crossed the
sandy belt lying between Toms River and
Prospertown. Although II is said that the
distance between these two places is but nine
teen miles, we were from eight o'clock A. M.
till seven P. NJ, excepting two hours to dine)
in making our journey. The labor was not
so severe as that done on the preceding day,
and yet did we not uso the work in crossing
the white sands on Thursday as kind OF
standard for comparison, we would think the
trip from Toms River to Prospertown an ex-
tremely exhausting one. Soon after leaving
Toms River the yellow sand in the roads
seemed very loose, SO that the horses sank in
to il at every step until all the hoof and part
of the ankle was completely Ofcourse
