This morning we move early; pass through Irwinsville about noon. This was
once a very beautiful town, but now lying in ashes. The roads are better
to-day; we march twenty five miles and go into camp at five o'clock P. M. Our
rations are now very short, and we are compelled to subsist chiefly upon the
country.
