The rooming of the second day here was ushered In by the renewal of enn-nonaile and musketry, succeeding the out-sklrnilshes of the night, and our hearts beat glad to know that It was not receding, indicating the lines were holding their grounds To partially eatlHfy our now half-famished condition the confederates drove a cow to us, which they shot, causally saying: "Help yourselves to beef," which i we did with' alacrity, after a b.ilf dozen butchers from our ranks had removed the hide.

A barrel of flour from a nearby mill was added to our commissary, but the handicap of the professional baker was not lacking for the want of Ingredients and baking facilities, and the biscuit and the special forms of bread, hungered up from water and sometimes a little salt, and baked on a hot rock, or being held on a hot stick over the fire, is not of the sort "our mothers mado'' by a whole lot. On Rock Creek. On this second day of July I find myself on the point of Rock Creek, not with fellow prisoners, but a free man to come and go, with many then with us, then under guard. The sparkling waters of this creek are as Inviting for a mixed hatch of Yanks and, Rebs as on that long ago, but such a sight might not be Inviting to the ladles now present. Our bread was not of our own bake, no beef from a milch cow.

but large, flaky loaves from the government ovens on the field and the finest parts of animal herd of Pennsylvania are now upon beautiful and bountiful spreads. There was no outposts of rebel cavalry to recapture escaping prisoners, except those now on the outposts of love and veneration, for the flag that they were then trying to dishonor in defeat they are now honoring In victory. There is free and open Intercourse and frequent exchange of visits between the Union and Confederate veterans of the separate camps, and ail along looks more glorious by triumphant floating over the Confederate camps in their flag of fifty years ago.
