Camp Green Meadows, Mercer County, Virginia, July 20,1862. Sunday.—Morgan’s gang, or Rebels encouraged by him, have got into Warrick County, Indiana. This is the first successful (if it turns out successful) invasion of free soil. I regret it on that account. I wished to be able to say that no inch of free soil had been polluted by the footstep of an invader. However, this is rather an incursion of robbers than of soldiers. I suppose no soldiers have yet set foot on our soil.
I wish we were near or amidst the active movements. We ought to be sent somewhere.
