Government had furnished lumber to erect a few temporary buildings. An old dilapidated farm- house, and a few log-huts formerly occupied by the over- seer and slaves, were the homes of Captain Gordon and Surgeon Ransom, with their families, who seemed to enjoy camp life as well as any I had seen. They had in charge four companies of soldiers. Their hospital assumed an air of neatness and comfort. WeMook a stroll over the battle-ground, and saw the deep furrows plowed by the terrible shells, in ...which a horse might be buried. Here and there were inters]>ersed "rebel rat-holes, " as they were called, dug seven or eight feet deep, and nearly covered with planks and two or three feet of earth, in which they dropped themselves, after firing, to reload and be secure from flying shot and shell. I picked up a couple of cannon-balls about the size of a small tea-cup, of which a peck is used for a load. An officer told me that he saw twenty-five rebels killed with one discharge of these balls. O, what slaughter of human life !
