Bivouac 8tii (la Res.
Suffolk, April 14tlr, 1803.
Dear Couuiku:- Tin-owing up breast
works, planting batteries, changing .po
sitions; scouting and doing picket duty,
is still tho order of exercises. Last
Wednesday our Brigade moved round
from tiro north of the city to the west-
side. It rained nearly all that day. At
3 o’clock P. M., tho Light Guards were
sontouton picket post. Our position
was about 1000 yards from tho enomy's
brontworks. Their pickets nro inside
their fortifications, and yet their sharp
shooters would throw balis 200 yards to
•ur roar. They kept up a constant firo
upon Us all tho time. In going to and
from our outposts, wo wero in full
view of the enemy, and although we
went in and out, a singlo man at a time
they would shoot from six-to ten rifles
at him, and if two men happened to
get tolerably near cacli other thoy wero
sure to threw a shell at. them. Yot
strange to say, we stood out our 24
hours and had no one hurt.
We have now been for eight days on
the hardest kind of faliguo duty, and
begins to tell on tho men. They aro
much in need of rest.
Our forces occupy tho west and north
sides of the city, the Dismal Swamp is
on tho south side, and on the east'they
have ttvo railroads protected, for ah
outlet to them to Norfolk.''Their for
tifications are very strong! with n large
number ol heavy guns mountod. They
keep nn almost constant firing from
these, shelling the'woods promiscously
in ail directions. It is estimated that
they have fired at least 5000 canhon
shots since tve have been hero, but they
have done Comparatively littlo harm.—
So far as I hare* been ablo to learn only’
four mon have been killed, in our en
tire forco liero.nttd sonic'fifteen ivound-
od.
There is no use surmising as to what
will probably bo done horo. As usual,
there are u thousand' rumors afloat.—
Last year at this time we wore at York-
town, and in many particulars out-
present situation is identical. In two
important particulars however tVo aro
better off—as wo now get a tolerable
supply of rations, nrid-eo far, there has
been less rain.
Tltis is a bright arid pleasant morn
ing, and we are just now resting after
the false alarm, that the enemy were
crossing the river below the city.

Dear Courier : My last letter was
closed at Jerusalem, Friday nooh*. The
Inarch was continued that day to Frank
lin, ivliero Wo bivouncked Tor the night.
This is a mere railroad station, contain
ing some dozen buildings in nil, and is
twenty one miles, by the carriage road,
from Suffolk. Hero four days l-ntlohr
wero issuodj and it took the tnon nearly
half tho night to Cook them. Reveille
was beaten at daylight next morning,
nnd, at a littlo after sunrise, wo woro
again’on tho " pad.” Franklin is on
tho West side of the. Black water river,
whioh is hero less in size than tho Eto
wah above Rome. Tli is stroam lias no
more right to be called tho Jilaekwatcr,
than -the Nettawuy, or any of the nu.
tnerous crooks crossed in passing from
Petersburg to Franklin. Yot for the
more purpose of designation it may be
well enough.
The adyuuco yesterday was slow and
cautious, having numerous scouting par
ties of cavalry and infantry skirmishers
in advanco of the main colunin. Tiio
Bluekwater river, that rises about six
miles East of Petersburg, und runs in a
Southerly direction, bus hitherto been
tiio dividing lino between tho opposing
forces, nnd as lute us Friday, tlicuboli
(ion cavalry scouts came to within two
or three miles of Franklin, nnd some 30
of tiio rascals tlmt day took dinner at
Carrsville, a very neat little village on
tho Kc.il Hoad. These scamps have u
very cool way of helping themselves to
anything they may desire, which imp!
pens to bo within their reach. In this
case a paily of them rode up to a house
just as dinner was ready, and seeing the
table ready sot, without invitation, im
mediately filled all the seals around it,
und commenced helping themselves.—
They consumed ull the food on tiio ta

they called for nnd the family wero.

of showing any appreciation of favor,
merely stnied.tliat they would be back
for din n or again the next day, departed.
Our main force is within throe or four
miles of Suffolk, nnd our regiment is
now on pioket to prevent a surprise at-
taok from the reur. The impression
prevailed generally yesterday evening,
that we would attack the enemy within
their entrenchments,- curly this morn
ing, but it is now 2 1-2 o’clock, P. M.
and ail quiet yet. Yesterday evening
a balloon was.seon up insido the aboli
tion lines,, and lust niglit several rockets,
wore soon in tho same direction. Hea

It seems probable that wo will have
stirring times to-day.
Itnuiy nct.be prudent to slate what
