On the morning of the 24th inst. we resumed the

march in the direction of Camden; crossed the State line

dividing Arkansas and Louisiana; noticed a change in the

character of the country.

April 25th. Marched sixteen miles. Passed through a lit-

tle town named Calhoun. After our arrival in camp, we

learned that General Steele had succeeded in getting supplies

from Pine Bluff.
