July 21. Monday. — We are target firing now. The Enfields are a little better sighted than the muskets; the muskets have most power and the longest range. Company C does rather the best shooting, Companies E and A coming next.
A zouave at the Flat Top camp found tied to a tree with five bullet holes through him! Naked too! An enemy’s cavalry patrol seen two miles outside of our pickets. Secesh, ten or twelve in number.
