Rather strange life —
smoking and such talk!

Diary of Private Alexander G. Downing: Wednesday, November 11, 1863
It is very pleasant
after four or five days of quite warm weather. I was on picket again, the first
time for a week. Two brigades of General Crocker's Division arrived from
Natchez to reinforce the troops here at Vicksburg. Two negroes entering an old
vacant Confederate magazine today were blown to pieces. They were smoking and
it is supposed that the loose powder on the floor in some way became ignited.
The explosion was heard for miles around. So much again for the filthy habit of
smoking.

Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Friday, February 7, 1862
No news of importance. The boys had a dancing party at the
depot, and some of the girls in the neighborhood who are somewhat lively were
there — they seem to enjoy smoking when out in company.
