when an order came for our Regt. & the 130th to stay and gaurd this place, while the rest of the Brigade went back to Franklin to guard. If we were not happy no one was. We are now in camp in a very nice place. Expect to stay a few days but how long I can not tell. Gurrillies are thick all around. Yesterday we captured 4 spies. Ahead of is the rest of our Corps. & Banks army. The rebs are fortified some 30 miles from here going to try to keep us from getting in to Texas. But that they can not do, for we are going their or die in the attempt. This Rebelion must & shall be put down. This is the feeling amoungst
