We had an all day
rain, and there was no drill or dress parade. The country around Clifton is
very rough. There are but a few small farms, found only in the bottom land.
Clifton is on the east bank of the Tennessee river about twenty-five miles
below Savannah. The town has been burned and the people driven out, there being
only four or five of the thirty log huts standing.
