Since we have been hero our duties have been similar to those at our previous encampments, excepting that we have exchanged digging an 1 throwing up fortifications, for felling frees. We supposed, when we reached here first, that a battle would surely take place in a shcrt time, and that we had been re a reli ed over the river either to ergage the en emy or to support other forces engaged; but although we have been called nearly every morning at daybreak, and some times a couple of hours earlier, and mar bailed in line, we have never yet seen either the glimpse or the ghost of a seces sionist.
