of our situation in our own manner. But
we had one ray of comfort in listening
to the music of a brass band which came
yesterday to our nearest neighbor, the
18th Ohio, and today lulled US into for
getfulness of our surroundings with the
sweet notes of familiar airs.
March 17-'No mail is the burden Of
our complaint today. Rumor says John
Morgan captured and destroyed the train
near Decherd. This is a calamity worse
than the non-arrival of rations, and none
of us are stoical enough to hide our vex-
alton, even in the presence of recruits.
"March 1S-It is wonderful how we
have settled down to the quiet perform
ance of our duties so soon after the dew
iltry that marked our progress from Dix
on to Chattanooga. The causes Of our
reform are apparent; we have no whisky
to overcome our reason; no 'copperheads'
near to excite our wrath; no groceries to
be raided; no liberty to work our own
sweet will, but strict military discipline
ready on the spot to execute judgment
for present mSdoings.
March 19-Althougb the enemy is not
anywhere near us, we have persuaded our
recruits that Suerrillas are prowling along
the picket line at night. seeking whom
they may devOur,' and the result is that
when a recruit is placed on picket duty
his gun may be heard breaking the still
ness of the midnight hours as he fires at
stumps, logs and shadows which his fancy
transforms into lurking enemies.
March 20-Lying in my tent at an
early hour half awake there came to my
ears the notes of old Hundred waited
from the horns of our neighbOrs' brass
band. The grand melody took possession
Of my dulled senses, binding them with a
silken chain, while all that was low and
hateful fled from its presence My hard
cot became soft and downy as a Summer
cloud, and my squatting tent became shin
ing wings to watt my soul to the very
Gate of Heaven, which opened to my
vision, disclosing the Great White Throne
and He that sat thereon while multitudes
Of the Redeemed chanted in unison, BE
Thou, oh, God. exalted high When the
notes ceased the beautiful vision faded
away, the wings that had borne me alOft
became an oyerpowering weight to crush
my spirit back TO earth, where the knots
and humps of my ill-made bed soon re-
stored the consciousness Of my poor hu-
manity and caused me to cry in anguish
of heart, How long, oh, Lord, how long
will the passions of war stife our human
emotions, the clash of arms dull our ears
to heavenly music, and the smoke of bat
tie obscure our vision of Him who has
proclaimed, Peace on earth and good
will to men,"

future battlefelds our fancy had flown
back to reyel again amid the joyous
scenes of our furlOugh days.
Our dreams were disturbed before day
light, March 6, by the halting and switch
ing of our train at Decherd, caused by an
accident to one of the three trains ahead
of us, resulting in the death of three per-
sons and injury of others. We were de-
layed until the middle of the afternoon,
then proceeded to Stevenson, where an
other accident occurred, in which n Ma
jor had his leg broken. There we saw
negro soldiers for the first time. and were
much amused by the movements of a
squad under charge of a Sergeant who
exemplified the tactics and amplltied his
authority in such manner that every Ser
geant in our regiment turned green with
envy and hid his diminished head. while
we showered compliments upon the col
ored Sergeant with such telling effect
that his uniform could not have held him
much longer if our train had not removed
us from the scene.
AGAIN IN CAMP.
We reached Chattanooga before day
light, March Z, but remained in the cars
until sunrise, when We formed line and
stacked our guns to await orders, which

truth will they learn by making inquiry.
March 13 was vaccination day, and
farms in sling" was the order after the
Surgeon had left his mark on us. Small
pox has appeared, and several members
of our regiment have been sent to the
hospital suffering with the disease. The
Chaplain also made an attack on us this
afternoon in a sermon directed against the
vice of gambling, which is a hundred
times more prevalent and just as bad, If
not worse, than smallpox.
ORGANIZING sHARPsHooTERs.
The rattling of musketry every day
about noon sounds like a battle. The
troops of our brigade are required to
practice shooting at a target, and the best
two shots in each company are TO be Sc
lected for a battalion of sharpshooters TO
be organized.
A strong north wind blowing all day,
March Is, lowered the temperature very
considerably until, at sunset, there was a
furry of snow. Hitherto we veterans in
the presence of recruits have professed
extreme Indifference as to weather and
other disdgreeable incidents of camp life,
but we had to unbend under stress of
this unusual cold snap and join with the
recruits in their cry of lamentatiOn.
A few veterans maintained the digni-
fed position we have assumed with the
recruits, by proceeding without a word
of complaint to build fireplaces and Chin
neys, as if it was a matter of course that
Winter should last all Summer. The re-
cruits heard no complaints, but in the
privacy of their own tents these same
veterans swore not loud but deep.

top of the four story building opposite
the one on which the sheep had taken
refuge. Then he leaned over and rested
against the seventh story OF the big
building. and was just able to reach
up to the sheep. He spoke softly to
them, and took them down one by one,
handing them to Blunderbore who was
standing on tip toe in the middle OF
the street. When the last one had been

But after that Bo Peep bought col

let them run alone again.
And as for the wolf he had seven
pounds Of porterhouse steak for his
dinner and when he had eaten the
steak, he actually licked his chops.

In few minutes they were in White

may not believe it, but the inha bitants
of that part of the town were frightened
at the wolf. They seldom visited me-

dog. One man pointed a pistol at the
beast and fired, but the bullet did no
harm. Jack however, did not like the
idea of being shot at nor did he relish
the stale vegetables that small boys
threw at him, and he was glad enough
when the wolf got back into the City
again.
The wolf went faster than ever, thread
ing his way in and out among buses
and hansoms and wheelmen and drays,
and at last he made for the front door
of building very near Drury Lane on
