morning-very sad-but we feel
that the enemy have suffered for
their loss and while this is not
much satisfaction for the bows
that are dead, yet it is the only
satisfaction soldier gets, and we
have been most fortunate in losing
so few men. %
''There is very large church
here and our people use it as a
hospital and it makes a splendid
one, as it is very cool inside and is
very roomy. The tower makes a
splendid lookout station. All our
men are quartered in houses, so
have no tents up, and it is just
like living at home. There are
many large stone warehouses that
answer the purpose of commissary
buildings, and as we have the rail
road 1T comes IN fine. No build
ings were burned here excepting
the railroad station and the natives
seem to have it in for the railroad,
as they burn every station all
along the line. What possible
good this does them l am at loss
to understand. 1t certainly does
not annoy us in the least. And
they do not seem to know how to
destroy the railroad line and
bridges, as they have never made
good job of this kind of work
yet. Still they have caused lots
and no doubt will cause more.
