Awoke with all the bells ringing, report confirmed that Vicksburg has been taken. I have kept to my room most of the day. Some companies of New York cavalry and infantry creating a disturbance by their drunkenness. We saw none of this among the Rebels. Reports that Lee is using the canal boats at Williamsport to ford his sick and wounded. Our town is now stirring with activity again. Many who left are returning and the stores re-opening with what they have left. The night closes in quiet, and being unwell, go to my bed.
