To-day our regiment is detailed to advance with the picket line and protect a fatigue party while building roads and bridges for the advance of our division. We have a brisk skirmish with the heavy rebel pickets.
This evening the Paymaster visits the Seventh, and before it is midnight the Seventh is flush with the “bonus."
