We remain in camp
here until the twenty-seventh; during this time we are unable to note anything
of much interest, but the Seventh will long remember Clarksville; their
comfortable quarters and pleasant life while there; also the citizens,
especially the ladies of rebel proclivities, who were oft-times heard chanting
their songs—songs that made music in the wind that swept along the Cumberland's
shore. But ah! it was music for a desperate cause.
