The Baptist Church is in ruins, although only built in 1846. It must have been quite a spacious edifice for a country town. It has a graveyard, but the gravestones are of modern make, and our "Old Mortality," did not linger long.

ds can thrive. A few white snow drops reared their modest heads, and seemed to brave the storm of desolation which had swept around. At the western end of Hampton there are a number of frame sheds standing, which are said to have been occupied by the rebels before they burnt the dwellings. Our troops are making use of all that the rebels have left at this point, and a little dry wood makes a quick and comfortable fire these cool nights. Ducks and oysters plentifully abound in Hampton creek. The soldiers amuse themselves occasionally by shooting the former, and the contrabands dredge for the latter.--Oysters are caught in great abundance, and are of excellent quality.
