January 12 — The company policed camp to-day. Some few of these soldiers that would like to belong to the human family and race are actually too trifling to keep their back yards and kitchens clean. They act as if they never heard the golden precept that “Cleanliness is the next thing to godliness,” but practice and manifest every day that a hog loves to wallow in mud.
