Interesting Accounts Taken

until very late, so we had a good
nights rest. After breakfast / wrote
in my diary, being behind several
days with it. Ate dinner. In the af-
ternoon got permission to 90 up to
see the city and found the same to
be a pleasant place on account of
themany shade trees it contained
which were now about half leaved
out, and the gardens were in full
bloom. The inhabitants were all at
home and the women looked pleas
ant and cheerful after such a change
of regime. There were guards at ev-
cry house. / went into a large
church where a Yankee was playing
the organ; then | proceeded to the
capitol, but was unable to get in as
it was guarded. | went into the
building where the former offices Of
Che rebel army had been. Everything
was completely riddled-the books
and papers being scattered all over
the floor. Saw no stores or manufac-
turtles, In front of the capitol is q

so saw some large lamps used in the
lighthouse, but they were broken to
pieces, but found piece shaped like
prism, which / sent home. Return

and continued until night. The boys
did not come back after their things
until five o'clock and / went back

not nearly as good as the one we left,
but the water is better. We passed
by the rebel hospitals, which are

wounded. They are neatly arranged
and are the best and most extensive
ofany have seen in the confederacy.
