After resting one day tho army marched for Louisville. We overtook} Bragy ;it Green River but there wats no general engagement, only a couple of | days .=;kirmishiug and maneuvering, then Bragg pulled out of the northeast' and left a clear road to Louisville. From Na^ihville to Louisville we had; drawn our supplies from the country through which we marched, and it wa^l poor picking after Bragg's army. At Nolansville we captured a quantity of, I flour, this was issued to us raw, and we cooked it in this way; we wet it up! with cold water into a thick dough, stuck this on our ramrods and held itin the fire until partly baked, partly burned, and wholly smoked, we then had \ the famous "dough god" of the army.   Ladiesifypu don't want your hus-j
bands to desert you; girls, if you don't want your sweethearts to wander off into tbe cold 1 mountains of bachelordom, don't make forj them any biscuits aVter this recipe. I would-1 n't live with the best woman in America ifi she fed tne such stuff as I cooked for myself' forty years ago. Finally we reached Bloom-j field, nineteen miles from West Point on the | Ohio river. The next forenoon we marched to ' the river where we got a supply of army rations | fresher and better than we had had all sum- [ uier. I
That afternoon we  marched  eleven  miles 1 and went into camp ten miles from Louisville. I We were foot sore and weary; we  were dirty ^ and   ragged: we    had  averaged  twenty-four miles a day for each day we had marched since leaving Stevenson,  but  there   was   a  lot  of march in us yet, and Rousseau was bound  toj to have it out of us.   About 10 o'clock, while I was sleeping so sweetly upon I a bed of oat straw, the "assembly" soHnd(d, and we  weie  liteially  driven! into the ranks and started fur Louisville, but I didn't get  there,   not that,^ night.   I marched until I would wake up and Iind myself up Hgainst a fence| then forward again.   Pretty soon I made up my mind that the war of rebel¬ lion would be Hnished just as quickly if I didn't get   into   Louisville  that
