Ground is frozen
quite solid this morning, for the first time this winter. There is some
excitement among the boys of the 17th in regard to a report that Gov. Yates has
ordered home ten of the old regiments to recruit and fill up their ranks. If
any go, the 17th will probably be one of them, as the company reports only twenty-two
for duty.
