ly drills, dress parades and guard mountings, made camp life somewhat monotonous. A feeling of security had taken possession of the soldiers to such an extent that many of the men and some of the officers on the island had brought their wives and expected a quiet summer. Other officers were making arrangements to bring their families to camp. No one had any idea of how busy the enemy were preparing for the siege of Charleston, more vigorously than it had yet been pressed. About the 1st of July, First Lieutenant Samuel Dibble, of the Edisto Rifles, a restless, dashing and daring young officer, determined to find out whether the enemy were occupying Long Island. This island is the next below Secessionville, and was at the time covered by a dense growth of pines, scrub oaks and such other trees as grow on the uncultivated islands on the coast. He received permission to go on a scouting expedition, and selected to accompany him two men well qualified for such service, men of true

rkansas marksmen there, who, perched up in their sharpshooting tower, could fire down into every part of the enemy's ditch. Eating mule-meat. The last quarter ration of beef had been given out to the troops on the 29th of June. On the 1st of July, at the request of many officers, a wounded mule was killed and cut up for experimental eating. The flesh of mules is of a darker color than beef, of a finer grain, quite tender and juicy, and has a flavor something between that of beef andre put to good use by the troops in making a weak description of beer, which was constantly kept at the lines by the barrel full, and drank by the soldiers in preference to the miserable water with which they were generally supplied. On the 1st of July, some of the splendid Parrott guns of the Indiana regiment were taken across the river and put in battery there. They now maintained a constant fire upon our batteries every day, to which we occasionally replied, and at times with effect. Th

the regiment in this connection is not long to tell. The morning of the 29th of June found it in camp near Carlisle, under field officers Lieutenant Colonel Herbert and Major Goldsborough. It was attached to the brigade of General George H. Steuart, in Johnson's division, Ewell's corps. When the command moved from camp on that morning, it was with ill-concealed dissatisfaction that the men found the movement to be, as they supposed, one of retreat. It was not until the morning of the 1st of July that the movement was so far developed that its aggressive character became plain. When the sounds of the engagement then progressing at Gettysburg first struck upon their ears as they reached the crest of the ridge that shuts in the Cumberland valley upon this side, and the word was passed along the line, Close up, men; close up; Hill's corps is in, the wild shouts and hearty cheers, and quickened pace, showed how ready they were for the fray. Passing over the scene of the first day'

skirmishers of Hagood's brigade, of Hoke's division, went forward very handsomely and captured the lines next the river. But through some mistake this success was not followed up—the gallant skirmishers were not sustained, and were soon made prisoners by the forces of the enemy turned against them. And thus the whole plan, so well conceived and so successful in its beginning, was given up much to the sorrow of the commandinggen-eral. In the preliminary operations about Petersburg up to July 1st, Grant's losses footed up fifteen thousand men. On the 6th of July his engineers pronounced the Confederate works impregnable to assault. From this date the operations partook of the nature of a siege. As it is not my intention to give any record of events after the siege of Petersburg, I will close my address at this point in the campaign of 1864-a campaign, the full history of which would leave the world in doubt, whether most to admire the genius of our great leader, or the disciplin
