Two men in the guard-house.
We are improving. Baltimore whiskey got into the camp some way and these men
found it. At dress parade to-night, a dispatch was read to us saying a great
battle had been fought and a great victory won by McClellan. We gave three
cheers that must have reached the scene of battle. It has set us up
wonderfully.
