We could not march
yesterday, as the streams were too high from the recent rains and snow. We left
to-day at 12 M., and got one day's rations, hard enough to fell a bull. Marched
on the railroad track all the afternoon. The main road was impassable. We got
to Kinston at 4 in the afternoon, and made camp in a swamp, two and a half
miles out of town. We had nothing to eat, but slept good for all that.
