WE RETURN TO NEWBERN.
Attended church this morning. Steamer Thomas Collyer arrived this
afternoon with orders for the regiment to report at Newbern. All was bustle and
hurah boys; down came the tents and a general packing up followed. At dark we
were aboard the boat, and, giving three cheers to Capt. Flusser and his men,
steamed down the river. We had a beautiful moonlight night and a splendid sail
down the Albemarle; arriving at Newbern in the afternoon of the 4th, we went
into the Foster barracks for the night.
