Same Camp. — Cloudy and threatening rain. Several
warm showers during the day. Firing between pickets constantly going on two or
three miles down the river. We send out two or three companies and a howitzer
or six-pounder to bang away, wasting ammunition. If the enemy is enterprising
he will capture some of these parties and perhaps a cannon.
