We had orders to
cook three days' rations, and be ready to take up the line of march by three
o'clock P. M., but as it was pay-day, and as the paymaster did not get through
by that hour, the order was countermanded, and we did not move. We were paid
for four months and twenty-two days' service, from 1st of January to the 22d of
May, 1862, one hundred and thirteen dollars and sixty cents to each private.
