July 20.—Clear and m‘ Morning
again found us on the '_ We march~
ed six miles and halted ti a" beautiful
grove-no under brush-v. smooth nice
turf, plenty of water, audfln abundance
of blackberries near. This was the best
place we had camped it for a long
time, and many were thaikbes that. we
might stay there for someway but we
had work.to do and we 111%: be ordered
away before morning. "
July 21.»Our wagons .aine up with
us again. The pay rolls were finished
up, and the books filled out and reports
got ready to send away. and everything
appeared to be iuuviug Elong nicely.
Some of the boys had be?!) back in the
century and found a flock of nice lat
sheep, and about fifty were drawn as
rations before the General found it out.
He inmiediutely POSUN.‘ a guard ova

foraging under piiialty of severe
punishment. In the Iftertmon the
regiment. was formed in lute I’I sort

ture on the immorality of stealing, but
did not say a word about 90 nice hind

looked meek and marched to our queer-
ters to eat our roast mutton and lxllll‘k~
berries. is»
July ‘2‘}, —.\'utlmig new chief day. It.
seemed very .strnii 4c in ratio long and
in so beautiful a plnCe. In the after-
noon most of the regiment were demih d
to g») on picket, but I, being First 8 er-
goont. did mu g-u.

were ordered to be ready to match. but
us we were to be in the rear of the win:-
on train of the corps that day, we an
not move until 9 n. Inward then our reg-
iinent was ordered to fake the fields and
match as guard to the kiln, Musby‘s
(luerillns were in that pate! the enun-
try und liable to nukendfieh in and take
our wag-ms, So over fences and ditch-
es, through swamps and wood we went
un Ll noon, when the Gabriel sinl he
would take uterusme or haltin ,3
if we would get. dinner iniliafl an hour.
In just thirty miuuvce-Vwe got \Vuml,
Milkmen}, might “Qt-t . gig-admit cob
fee, cooked our tuition. me our dinner
and were in line ready to march, which
we did till 4 p. 111., when we cun'ie into
a field of blackberries that was a sight to
behold. I sill‘l‘nse there were live hun-
dred bushels within view of where we
l‘nllt‘il. The l‘olonel ordered its ll) 31.1(‘k
arms. break ranks and help ourselves.
.\t the sound of the bugle we started
off again and pushed ahead as though we
were never to stop. At last. at 9:30 p.
“1., we tiled into the woods and lay down
without any supper. being too tired to
get it. We had marched twenty-eight
miles..and were now near New Balti~
llltll‘t‘.
July 24.-\\'e were not called up that
morning, but took our time to get breuk~
fast. The boys did not feel much like
going out foraging, and not being as
hungry as we were sometimes, all kept
quiet. There being no signs of moving
we passed the forenoon as we pleased. ,A
detail was made for men to go home to
Copnecticut to assist in the draft and to
bring on the conscripts. I did not hap—
pen to be one of the lucky ones. In the
afternoon we. had orders to move to or
large level field and lay out a camp. It
was to be laid out regular and according
to military tactics, for we would in all
probability stay there a long time; cer»
tainly until we had the conscripts well
drilled, our companies Well filled up, and
in shape to go again into the field.
J hly iii—At ‘3 a. m. the bugle sound-
edto strike tents. We were ordered to
be ready to march at 3 a. m., for there
was danger at. \Varrington. \Ve started.
promptly on time, and pushed forward
without scarcely making a halt to rest.
\thn the sun rose above the horizon it
shone out in all its power, and there
was not a sign of a breeze. Still we
hurried forward as if the salvation of the
country depended upon our getting to
some place at once. At 11 a. m., we ar:
rived at Warrington Juuctiounsevem
teen miles—an awful march for man or
beast on such a day.
July 26.-We laid still all day. There
were no signs of danger. All appeared
to be quiet as far as the enemy was com
cerned. The whole army seem-
ed to be concentrating there. Several
corps had already arrived. They set
about repairing the railroad and soon
had it in operation, and commenced to
bring in commiseary stores. At evening
it looked about the depot as though it
was the great center of the army.
July 27.-—\‘Ve laid still all day, not
having any duty to perform; scarcely
had roll call. Some of the troops of the
other corps were at work, for the piles
of hard tack, barrels‘of pork and beef_
and all that a soldier was allowed to have
rose up about the depot like ,m’uahrooua.
One would have supposed that we were
always to stay there.
July 28.-,-wu a beautiful morning. I
began to feel quite rated and like my-
self. We laid out a camp that forenoon
-everytbing regular and in order. All
evening the men were fixing up their
tent: with shelves and other lituéfix;
ingu. torvrewcntontaythero until we
got the conscripts and the bot rather

ing new happened that day. Everything
appeared as though we had settled down
for the summer.
July 30,—1Ve bad the same old routine
that day.
July 31,—Was exceedingly waym. \Ve
had to keep in the shade during the day.
In the afternoon there was a camp guard
detailed for the next day. We were to
have guard mounting by the Brigade in
the morning. Everything now had to
be done according to the latest tactics, so
we thought that the long looked for
time was at hand when we could live a lit-
tle more like men and not so much like
beasts. \\'e retired for the night. think-
ing what, improvements we. could make
in our quarters to have them more
convenient and comfortable.
Aug. 1.—Alas for the soldier! there
was no rust. At .‘2 a. m. the bugle sound-
ed to strike tents. All were up in
an instant. “'iih amazement we came
out of our tents. \V‘e did notknow what
to think—but the soldier has no right to
ask questions; all we had to do was to
pack up and wait further orders. There
appeared to be something wrong Some-
where. \\'e did not start off as usual.
After a while the order came to full in.
till‘l at 5 a. m. we were on the road
again. Madame rumor Set. herself at
work us to our destination, but time
lllilll‘t‘ could tell what it was.
We went at it rapid rate. almost a
double quick, and we began to think
that there was a light on hand and we
were to have :1 limit l‘l it. The whole
corps was on the move, the three divis
ions takingdiil'crent roads running par-
Illlt‘l with each other. We made no
halts excepting for a moment, ulthouglit
the sun shone torth with its nnst intense
heat. The men b “gin to fall out. but
on we hurried. 8 min the sides of the
rand were lined with those who said they
could not go unv further. Still the Get»
era! hurried on, not appearing to think
”I‘ll soon he would have no Brigade to
follow him. At last the Second Brigade
tiled iiituihe woods, and. as it were, fell
dawn in a pile. No distinction ofcompany
nor even of regiment. Every man for
the best place he could get. Soon the
First Brigade came up and mixed in the
moss. It would have bothered any Col~
onel to have found where his regiment!
lay. It was now Sfiiil n. 1“,, and we had
marched ten miles. There we lay. no
one hm ing life enough to go and get
even a drink of war ~r \llllll 11 n. in.
The report was that there was danger
ahead and that lllt'r“ wasa large force of
the enemv in'the neiglilmrhoml. but we
did nat care so long as they but us lay in
the shade. At 11 a. m. the order came
for the Second Brigade to fall in. \\'e
formed and went on the road. Then it
was said we were going into camp, as it
was riot safe to go any further until we
sent out skirmisheh‘ to feel the way.
“'0 marched about a mile, passing
through the town of Greenwich, a very
pretty place for secesli bind, and tiled in,
to a large tield in the boiling sun. with-
out ulsign of a shade. formed in line and
stacked arms. Received orders to fix up
our tents, but we no sooner had our traps
011' and begun to make preparations to
fix up our shelters than an aid came rid~
ing at full speed with the order to march.
Away we went again. \\'e marched
about half a mile and filed into a piece of
woods, stacked arms and had dinner.
At ‘3 p. m. we were ordered to fall in to
witness the execution of a desertcr. who
was sentenced to be shot. \V'e marched
about a mile to a large square field, the
division being formed on three sides of
it so every one could see. In front was
the grave. Soon there came an ambul-
ance containing the prisoner, sitting on
his coilin under a strong guard, together
with the Chaplain and the twelve men
who were to fire at bin). The coilin was
placed beside the grave. The prisoner‘s
sentence was then read to him. He was
blindfolded and the chaplain prayed with
him, he kneeling beside his coffin. After
prayer he raised his head, still kneeling.
and the order to fire was given. He fell
over dead. The division was marched
around the grave so that the men could
see the dead deserter: then we marched
back to our quarters in the wood sad in
spirit, and exhausted in body from the
heat and fatigue. We laid downjthe in
shade before we had supper, but we had
hardly prepared for a little rest before
a detail came for ,the Seventeenth and
anothef'fiegiment to go out for a three
days pickegtbe two regiments to be under
the command of Colonel Noble, and our

country to all; and not being certain of

tramping about two miles through the
fields, our regiment was thrown out on
the turnpike between Greenwich and
New Baltimore, with orders to connect
our lines with the Sixth Corps, which
was supposed to lay somewhere in that
direction. By this time it had become
quiet. dark. The Colonel then posted his
sentriec as far out as he dare on the line
of the turnpike, and sent out 0; Sergeant

the pickets of the Sixth Corps, but after
a long search they returned unsuccess-

another squad. They" were out until after
midnight when they came in having
done no better.

PROF. TUCKER—HIS OPINION ON A)!
MONIA AND BREAD RISERS GENERAL—
L".
The Albany. N. Y., Journal some time
since published an interesting report
upon the subject of baking powers, in
which it gave the results of tests of an
elaborate character made for the purpose
of determining the question of which is
cles. The analyses and tests required
were undertaken by Professors \V. G.
Tucker. of the Albany Medical College,
and \\'. P. Mason. of the llenssclaer
Polytechnic Institute. of Troy, chemists
of the highest standing and reputation,
well known for their extended and valu-
able aervices as public analysis. Messrs.
Tucker and Mason, the Journal stated,
had been directed to procure from deal-
ers in Albany and Troy packages of
baking powder, to analyse and critically
examine them. and to maketheirrepurts
of facts fuuml't‘nllrcly without bias or
favor. ,
The report proved a matter of interest
and important , and was widely copied
and coinn Ill‘\l upon. Front the facts
presented housekeepers bad no (litiienlty
in determining for themselves the best
and runs! wholesome baking powder to
use. The Journal. its facts having been
l]Ilt‘:llUDt‘d by a local baking powder
manufacturer. returns in thesubjcct and
publishes the following interesting in-
terview with Prof. Tucker. The facts
before stated are rentlirtned and empha~
stzml iii the most breez} manner :
.1 Journal reporter recently visited
l‘rof. Tucker for the purpose of gaining
further information in reference to the
baking powder question. He was found
in the extensive lulnramry of the Medi-
cal College, hard at work. but good~na~
turedly submitted to an inquisitorial in—
terview, the substance of which. here
given, will be found of interest.
“ Doctor.“ said the reporter, “ It ap-
pears that one of our local baking paws

“ literally."
“ Is there any part of the report, or of
your views expressed therein, that you
would modify?“
“ Not a word. My examination was
most carefully and accurately made: the
deductions ldrew from the tests were
the inevitable ones. and the opinions I
expressed were unquestionably correct."
“ You say, Doctor. thattheRoyal bak-
ing powder is superior to any other bak-
ing powder which you have examined
“ That is my report.“
“ llnve you examined many other bak~
jug powders ?“
“ Quite a number.“

these ingredients, in the exact proper.
tinus of the same, and the chemical ac~
curacy and skill with which they have
been combined. As I said before, it is,
I believe. a baking powder ‘ unequalled
for purity, strength and wholesome-
ness.‘ “
“ Doctor, the Journal‘s lady readers
would like you to inform them what are
the peculiar virtues of a good baking
powder over other and more old-fashion-
ed methods of raising bread. biscuit and
cake '3" '
“ That would Inquire a long answer,
something in the nature of .‘t lv‘Clill'“.
Briefly, however. the advantages of such
a baking powder over yeast. consists in
the quicker work it accomplishes in the
preservation of some of the best elements
of the flour which are destroyed in the
production of the carbonic acid gas by
the use of yeast, and in the absolute cer~
titnly of sweet, light and digestible food.
Over other methods for quick raising,
the merits of a pure baking powder are
great. . It is always ready touse, the
acid lend alkali are combined in exact
proportions to produce definite results,
or to render the largest. amount of leav-
ening gas and leave nothing u‘iore than
a neutral residuum, which is not the re-
sult, where cream of tartar and soda are
brought separately and mixed in the
kitchen, for it will always occur where
this is done that one or the other of
these substances will predominate, Innk-
ing the food yellow, heavy, bitterzand
nnwbolesome. Besides, the cream of
tartar which can be procured by the
housekeeper is mostly adultented, add-
the unwboleaomeneas of the food. All
these difficulties are avoided in the use
of a pure, properly-made baking pow-
der."
“ Will baking powders keep? How
long will they hold their strength 1”“
" If properly made, until used. A per
foot baking powder must combine an-
perlative strength with power to retain it
indefinitely. Baking powder: generally

agent in order to give pregnant strength,
or also have their efilciency largely dec-
tmyed by the addition of a large quantity
of flour to prevent premature deeompo-io

qualities are retained in the highest, do

those baking powders whose keeping
qualities are sacrificed to present

and keeping quality is the secret of bak-
ing powder success."
" Doctor, what about ammonia in
baking powder
“ Sesquicarbonate of ammonia is
sometifngs used in the higher class of
baking powders."
“ Is it injuxious or objectionable F"
“ Nonsense! Quite the contrary. It.
has been used for generations in the fin-
est food. It is a very volatile agent.

pose in preference to yeast or other kinds
of leaven. It is universally admitted to

when I—have read the. silly charges that

about ammonia in baking powder and

man disgraces himself when he leads

Care of Clipped Horse.
In a circular recently ' issued by its
president, the Connecticut;Humane so-
ciety states that while it has no disposi-
tion to deny the propriety in many cases
of clipping horses, it daira to call at-
tention of owners to the increased care
which horses in that condition demand.
The society protests against sending out
in cold rains clipped animals wholly
uncovered and blames drivers who al-
low them to stand unprotected in the
cold, or who walk them up and down
the street. The circular says that a clip—
ped horse in the cold air must be given
plenty of exercise. ,
