The roar of cannon and musketry has been incessant to-day;
now as I sit in the yard it is terrific. I doubt not that a general engagement
is going on. O God! be with us now; nerve the hearts and strengthen the arms of
our men! Give wisdom and skill to our commanders, and grant us victory for thy
great name's sake!
