It has been a sultry day.  Lizzie came home this evening.  She and her Mother took dinner today at Mr. Samuel Shipman's.  Rhoda Cutler is there.  She is hoping to see her husband, Temple Cutler, soon.  He was at last accounts with the Maine 9th regiment at Fernandina in Florida.  They eyes of the whole people now turn to Richmond where our army under McClellan and the rebels under Gen. Robert W. Lee are confronting each other and where a desperate battle is to be fought.
