Arrived at Bethel
Church this morning about 9 A. M., and immediately set to work to get breakfast—such
a breakfast: salt pork, black Rio coffee and hard crackers. Well, such is a
soldier's life, and we mustn't complain. The Zouaves are having even a harder
time of it than we, for their rations have not yet arrived. Most of their
officers seem to be gentlemen, but some of them are very cruel to their men.
The Second Louisiana regiment came down a few hours since.
