Since our return
from the Northland, a dull monotony reigns in camp; nothing greets our ears but
an occasional braying of some hungry mule and the rumbling of the waters over
the mill-dam in Richland creek. All seems quiet with the military. We wonder if
there will be any more blood made to flow in the Southland. There may be and
there may not; God only knows. We would love to believe that ere long there
shall be consummated an uncompromising peace, with the Union triumphant and
traitors in the dust. Though things in and around camp are dull, the boys are
cheerful and happy.
