Colonel W. W. Henry started for Vermont this morning; most
of the officers of the regiment went to the cars to see him off; commenced
raining about 8 o'clock a. m.; didn't rain long; men very busy on their cabins;
got a Washington Chronicle to-night; good news from Generals Sherman and
Thomas, the latter having captured fifty eight guns and five thousand
prisoners.
