Saturday. A very pleasant ride down the James. Rounded Lighthouse Point. Soon passed Harrison&#8217;s Landing, then Fort Powhatan and Wilcox&#8217;s Landing. Here danger from reb guns ceased. The old Jamestown site on left bank, a few chimneys still standing. Newport near where the Merrimac fight came off, Cumberland and Congress sunk. Sewall&#8217;s Point across, eight miles down Fortress Monroe. Went ashore. Everything carried on in the finest style. Splendid fort, having an armament of over 200 guns and &#8220;The Union&#8221; monster gun which fired a shot from Fort Monroe to Sewall&#8217;s Point, 8 miles. Ripraps still progressing. A splendid fort built in center of stream on the shoals, Gov&#8217;t prisoners at work on it. Through Hampton Roads into the Chesapeake and Atlantic. Passing Old Point Comfort, the bay is very wide. Saw an American and English frigate and a French gunboat. An English cutter manned by 8 or 10 fellows in white came ashore. Reached Point Lookout about sundown, the ironclad Roanoke lying off the point. Up the river, 12 miles, and anchored for the night. A most pleasant trip. Stormed enough to roughen the bay a little. Good fare upon the boat. Pass hundreds of boats, most of them making their way to City Point, I suppose. Phosphorus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6th. Saturday.
