We are in camp two miles from Wilmington. Will leave in a day or two for Weldon between which place and Tarboro it is reported we are destined for the present to confront General Burnside1 demonstration on the Peninsular in anticipation of an attack on Richmond from that direction. We marched to Wilmington to take the cars for Weldon, but the order was countermanded and we returned.
