The fires are burning brightly in our camp this morning. All
seem to have more genial looking faces than when on the steamboat. This evening
we have dress parade, and as usual a large number of officers and soldiers from
the surrounding camps assemble on our parade ground. What is the attraction?
Why so many congregated here? inquires a general officer riding by. Those of
the army of the Tennessee assembled tell him it is because the Seventh can
drill.
