The camp at New
Berne was aroused by the long-roll, by an attack at the bridge, where the
pickets are posted. All our guard were called out. Two men of the 24th M. V.
were killed. The affair was short, but disturbed the camp for the rest of the
night. Our barracks are all done, and we will occupy them as soon as the
regiment gets home.
