The consideration of the matter was continued during the day and night, and the next morning we determined upon investing our twenty-five cents in sweet potatos, as we could get nearly a half-bushel of them, which was "more fillin' at the price," to use the words of Dickens's Fat Boy, than anything else offered us.

We bought the potatos, carried them home in our blanket, buried them in the bottom of our tent, to keep them from being stolen, and restricted ourselves to two per day until we had eaten them all.

A hospital was established in the northwestern corner of the Stockade, and separated from the rest of the camp by a line of police, composed of our own men.

In this space several large sheds were erected, of that rude architecture common to the coarser sort of buildings in the South.

There was not a nail or a bolt used in their entire construction.
