During- these extreme cold nights 

 I always found a difficulty in breatb 

 ing in the open air. It produced a 

 dryness of the fauces and a disposi 

 tion to cough. It brought on pleu- 

 risy and other inflammatory com- 

 plaints among the men. Indeed al- 

 most all our diseases here have been 

 inflammatory, which I think is caus-' 

 ed by the severe cold. We foimd it 

 necessary to take every precaution 

 to prevent freezing. Our men 

 would frequently get frosted, but 

 none very badly. The snow, as I 

 should judge, has been about four or 

 five feet deep. It was impossible to 

 go out of a beaten path without 

 snow shoes. There is snow and ice 

 now lying in the cantonment. I 

 have seen it this day where it was 

 covered by chips, &c., a foot or two 

 thick. L. FOOT.
