the forenoon passed with <name type="weather">wind and rain.</name> This afternoon cleared brightly, & though somewhat <name type="weather">windy, </name>it was beautiful I was notified that I was appointed judge advocate in a Court of Inquiry demanded by Lt Col Vignier de Monteil of the New York 53rd commonly known as the <persName>D'Epineuil Zoaves</persName>, on charges proffered against him by his <persName>Colonel D'Epineuil </persName>& Cap W.W. Armstrong of the same Regt. The charges are unofficer-like conduct, getting drunk & speaking disrespectfully of Col D'Epineuil - among the rest that he D'Epineuil had never seen service - never anything that a common sailor - also that he ate breakfast at the same table with his orderly. This Regiment dresses the same as the French imperial Zouaves - <objectName>blue jacket trimmed with yellow</objectName>, blue scarf around the waist, s<objectName type="equipment">kyblue pants</objectName> - bagging down to the knees - Tom Grier asked <pb facs="https://leaf.bucknell.edu/sites/default/files/2026-01/diary04.jpg"/> <fw>Camp Union near Annapolist Md. December 11 Wednesday continued 1861</fw></p><p>one the other day whether he couldn't carry ten days rations in the seat of his pantaloons - white <objectName type="equipment">leggings.</objectName> Tom took the notices of the Court of Inquiry over to D'Epineul - he saw his wife, a buxom French woman dressed in the full Zouave costume. </p> <p>We have a little black pup belonging to someone in the Regiment. He is called General, and is very playful. During the solemnity of the Dress parade, he got after the heels of Lt. Morris, acting adjutant - then he treed the Colonel, and wound up with biting the heels of the Band, when they were beating off. The butler arrived this evening & began by distributing a piece of tobacco to the boys. There was a grand rush - for they were nearly starved for it. It has caused great rejoicing, as they think it an end to their troubles, & especially as they were notified at dress parade that the paymaster would be along soon. Beaver went to town - to attend meeting I suppose.</p> </div> </body> </text> </TEI>
