This morning the
ground was covered with snow, adding to the beauties of the marching, which was
soon commenced, and continued to Williamston. Here the boys stayed until
Sunday, waiting to recruit their strength, and, it was said, to meet
transports, but none came; so they started again, and Sunday night encamped a few
miles from Plymouth. Monday they embarked on the "Geo. Collins,"
bound for New Berne.
