Hill, of Company F, was promoted to be Second Lieutenant, vice Dodge, promoted and transferred. Taken from a soldier's letter to his family at home.April 23rd, 1862. Tomorrow we go out again on our regular siege, —that is, to lay in the woods, behind our artillery and listen to their noise all day and at intervals during the night. It is a one-sided affair, this siege, so far, for our guns keep up such a steady fire that the poor rebels don't have time to get a shot in anyway. Of course, this is all very good for our artillery, and I hope the rebels l

Chubbuck, Company K, to be Second Lieutenant, vice Warner, killed. Snakes were numerous in the camp at Harrison's Landing. Lieutenant Dodge appeared one day with a huge black snake; one man pulled an adder from his trouser leg, and soon after a copperhead was discovered to have turned in along with two tent mates. Mosquitoes were less frequent here than at Fair Oaks, but every kind of insect abounded. On July 10, President Lincoln visited the Army and after a grand review addressed the troops, expressing great satisfaction at their condition and declaring that he had wanted to see for himself. Rumor began to be rife t

quired to fill its quota. About the first of June the camp was moved to high ground back of the town and overlooking the river and quite a stretch of country beyond. It was pleasantly situated and as there was no more provost or picket duty to perform, the time was given over to drills. Sergeants Merrill and Stone, of Co. C, returned from general hospitals, having recovered from wounds, and were commissioned lieutenants, subsequently being transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps. Capt. Dodge was transferred to Co. D, and Lieut. Wm. L. Palmer, having returned from the hospital, was promoted to Captain and assigned to Co. C. The balloon which had been stationed near the old camp was moved up stream and the signal corps officers used it for the purpose of looking into the rebel camps, a proceeding to which the latter objected by sending over a few shells which burst near but did not hit it. They scared the observers so much, however, that they withdrew further from the river.

owever, bring back many captives, among them being a brother of D. J. Mc A. Jewett, of the Nineteenth Massachusetts. (This brother, a native of Spain, was afterward killed on a foreign field, fighting for the Royalty of his native country.) As the enemy fell back, the sun was just setting. Its rays lighted up the smoke which hung heavily in front, with a lurid glare. The rebels are seen running hither and thither, loading and firing. It is all an unnatural scene. In this action Capt. Dodge, Lieutenants Adams and Stone were wounded, and several men were killed and wounded. It was now quite dark and in half an hour Capt. Leach, of the Brigade Staff, brought orders for the regiments to return to the old position of the Second Corps, where they arrived at 2 A. M. and lay down to rest on the line upon Cemetery Ridge. The Third Corps formed its new line upon the ridge to the left, and details from both corps bore off the wounded from the field. Col. Devereux commanding the r
