11th.–A mail to-day. One, only one little letter from my home, and that thirteen days old! The bearing of General ― towards me for a few days has been greatly changed? What is it to mean. * * *
Last night Prof. Lowe, the aeronaut, staid with us. He went up in his balloon, and took drawings of the enemy’s fortifications. Says they are the most formidable he has seen during the war. Nothing doing by the army to-day. Gen’l. McC. visits us. He has had a council of war. Result of it of course not known.
