UP THE PENINSULA.
| Very early on the morning of April a. or
possibly 5, the division started on its march
up the Peninsula.
It was a beautiful morning followed by
warm day for the season, and many OF the
| boys shed" their extra blankets and CLOTH
ing, things they felt the need of later. There
was some firing at the front, enough TO
| remind us Of the business We were on, but
the day passed without any serious fight
ing.
An incident of the day was our first
sight of Nj, Clellan as he rode by followed
by numerous staff and an escort of cav
airy. OF course, everybody cheered for
Little Mac with hearty, hopeful earnest
ness In those early days of the war
we had great confidence i'll our officers and
ourselves. We expected TO capture Rich
mond and end the war in time TO celebrate
the 4th of July. 1t was well for our peace
of mind that Spring morning that we did
not know what the fortune of war was to
bring or in what situation we would be
placed, for our troubles We're mostly before
us.
Gen. Mcclellan and Col. Sully were
old comrades, and 1t was reported from
the head of the regiment that, in passing,
Gen. Mcclellan, with his formal acknowl-
edgment OF the salute, called out
pleasantly to Col. Sully: How are
you, Alf.' who promptly responded: How
do you do, George"
We camped that night about Big Bethel,
and continued the march in the morning.
Meanwhile the weather had changed
drizzling rain and spits of snow. There
was considerable skirmishing and artillery
firing at the front There was also the
customary anxiety of the troops in the rear
and the usual accompaniments of halts,
rapid marches and general expectation
that battle was about to be fought.
There was no serious fighting. however.

wife, nee Gould, arrived today from
France. They went to hotel. The
count evidently did not like the stories
printed about his alleged losses in
speculation. He stigmatized de Rodays,
editor of the Figaro, which first pub
lished the story, as a liar, and declared
that when he goes back he will slap
his face if he does not retract. The
count showed statement which he
said he would send the editor. A
translation follows: "There has been
a communication to me on board the
ship that calumny has been printed
in the Partisan papers which emanat-
ed from the Figaro. You will at once
print formal denial. / reserve the
right on my return to tell YOU what

tinued the count warmly. 81 never
played cards for money or gambled in
any other form. did not lose money
in speculation. These stories are all
falsifications, as false as can be. There
is no truth in them at ALL" When the
question of the relationship between
himself and wife was touched upon
the count said: "Our relations are
perfectly harmonious" Then he smiled
at his wife as she stood by his side,
and she smiled at him. There seemed
to be good feeling in the smiles.
