I think General Hooker intends to stand on the defense, until the enemy attacks us.  Whether we are successful or not, will decide future movements.<br \/>\n\tSome think we go back towards Washington and perhaps have a 3rd Bull Run.  I don\u2019t think we will.  I am inclined to think we will hold our position on this side of the River at least as long as we can.<br \/>\n\tThree men of our Division are sentenced, by a General Court Marshall, to be shot today at 12 o\u2019clock.  Fortunately for them, they were reprieved by the President and got the news about two hours before the time of execution.<br \/>\n\tI should like to have got on Mustering Duty this summer but, I suppose, there is no chance now; owing to my failure to call on the Governor.  I didn\u2019t know he was here, but so much for unfortunate mishaps.  If I could have got on Mustering Duty, I would have been on some General\u2019s staff, and had a chance to distinguish myself, or perhaps extinguish myself.<br \/>\n\tI suppose the Governor thinks I\u2019m an untamed cannibal.
