Saturday, 6th.—Out on picket last night on Licking River. Yesterday evening a train ran almost into the midst of our camp, but before we could recover from our surprise, they reversed the steam and made their escape. Left Cynthiana at 5 p.m amid the smiles and cheers of a “legion” of as fair ladies as ever cheered the heart of man; marching in the direction of Covington.
