We enter Raleigh,
the capitol of North Carolina, pass through the city and go into camp one mile
from the outer works. To-day Companies A and K leave for headquarters to be
mounted. The dismounted portion of the regiment is now very small. Company H
and the three new companies, B, D and G, are the only ones now remaining to
plod their way on "terra firma;" but we all hope soon to be mounted;
especially old Company H, who, from past experience, know what virtue there is
in mules.
