For the last week it has been very scarce, partly because all the army has been together, and partly because this is a wretched poor country. Received General Slocum's order restricting troops from taking anything but forage, &c., and commanding them to destroy no property in North Carolina.

The two bridges that spanned Cape Fear River had been burned by the enemy; two pontoon bridges laid. Sent mail North from here; a U.

Monday, March 13.-Left camp 3.30 p.m.; arrived four miles beyond Fayetteville, on east side Cape Fear River, 7 p.m.; distance, 5.19 miles; weather beautiful; roads good.

The Michigan Engineers who were sent ahead to build a bridge across South River during the night were unable to do so until morning on account of the enemy. The bridge being completed by 10 a.m.; we commenced crossing; the enemy threatening our flanks and front, one battery was placed in position and proper disposition made of the troops to cover the trains. On getting to our camping place we found the Fifteenth Corps troops on right of road, lines formed, skirmishers out, batteries in position, everything indicating the presence of the enemy. Our two divisions had a hard fight, driving the rebels, capturing three pieces of cannon and number of prisoners.

Friday, March 17.-In camp; weather delightful. Sent twenty-four empty wagons to the front for wounded. The train sent to Cape Fear River arrived to-day with supplies-some hard bread, coffee, sugar, boots, and shoes.
