Early this morning,
we move on the Purdy road. A great many citizens are now following the command,
who have been compelled to leave their homes to seek protection within the
Union lines; all because of their adherence to the old Union. About dark we arrive
in camp at Corinth. All agree that the mule is a good institution, for there is
no complaining of feet being sore to-night. All are cheerful, and eagerly do
the boys read the news from Vicksburg, which is indeed cheering.
