\"26\"<\/a>Sunday.\u00a0 Turned out about 1 o\u2019clock A.M. & got into line.\u00a0 We supposed that we were to make another Sunday attack but after moving out by Gen. Banks; Headquarters to the road leading into the place of last Sunday\u2019s battle we filed to the left instead of the right, & pursued the main road to the east till 9 o\u2019clock, when we halted at a little stream some six or eight miles out on the road to Jackson.\u00a0 Here the provision trains came up bringing cooked rations.\u00a0 Stopped & ate a hearty meal, probably for breakfast & dinner together.\u00a0 We have with us the 12th<\/sup> Me., 90th<\/sup>, 91st<\/sup>, & 131st<\/sup> N.Y. & 1st<\/sup> Louisiana with several field pieces & a small cavalry force.\u00a0 Where we are bound we know not. Supposed to keep off reinforcements for the enemy in Port Hudson.<\/p>\n

Our mail reached us while halted for dinner.\u00a0 Got a letter of June 1st<\/sup> from Pamelia..\u00a0 All well at home at that date.\u00a0 I thank my Heavenly Father for all his mercies.\u00a0 After eating moved up a hill beyond the stream, & filed into a field on the right of the road, 7 stacked arms.\u00a0 The men lay down & some of them got asleep, when in about an hour the order came suddenly to \u201cfall in.\u201d\u00a0 The whole Brigade fell in quickly & moved in line of battle some hundred rods across the field to the front.\u00a0 Our Reg\u2019t. was on the second line on the left, the 1st<\/sup> Louisiana on the right.\u00a0 The batteries were quickly stationed in the front, & we awaited the signal to advance, expecting an immediate attack.\u00a0 Not a gun was fired, however, & we lay in line about an hour, when a small shower coming on, we sheltered ourselves as well as we could in our rubber blankets.\u00a0 Afterwards we made shelters of the rubbers by spreading them on little stakes, & lad down under them.\u00a0 I made a roof of mine by spreading it over three small poles, bent over with both ends set in the ground.\u00a0 Spread my woolen blanket under it, crawled in, & slept nicely, undisturbed by the showers that came in the night.\u00a0 Pickets of cavalry & infantry were out, but there was no alarm given.<\/p>\n

Just before night quite a force of the Illinois cavalry came in.\u00a0 The same I presume that were reported captured by the rebels yesterday.\u00a0 Quite a lot of forage teams came with them, & moved back towards Port Hudson.<\/p>\n
