Bright and
pleasant—the weather.
Gen. Hood telegraphs
that his army is so much mortified at the feeble resistance it made to Sherman,
that he is certain it will fight better the next time.
Mr. Benjamin asks a
passport and transportation for Mrs. Jane L. Brant, who goes to Europe in the
employment of the government.
Gen. Morgan's
funeral took place to-day. None were allowed to see him; for the coffin was not
opened. On the way to Hollywood Cemetery, Gen. Ewell received a dispatch that
our pickets were driven in at Chaffin's Farm. This demonstration of the enemy
compelled him to withdraw the military portion of the procession, and they were
hurried off to the battle-field.
The local troops
(clerks, etc.) are ordered to assemble at 5 P.M. to-day. What does Grant mean?
He chooses a good time, if he means anything serious; for our people, and many
of the troops, are a little despondent. They are censuring the President again,
whose popularity ebbs and flows.
