Thursday, 2d.-—Pretty quiet to-day; think the rations are about out, as we have been getting two small biscuits and a pint of pea soup for a day’s rations for several days; no meat, and pea-bread seems to be out. Various rumors. Tom Meek, Company E, wounded; Jones Greene died of sickness; think the siege of Vicksburg is very nearly at an end.
