Reveillé
sounded early this morning, and after marching twenty-five miles we went into
bivouac tired and worn. Our division marched all day over a by-road on the
inside of the right wing, and although the country was heavily timbered, yet we
had a good road. We passed by some fine plantations, well improved with some
good buildings. The Fourteenth and Twentieth Corps form the left wing and the
Fifteenth and Seventeenth the right, both flanks being covered by the cavalry.
There was some skirmishing off on our right in front of the Fifteenth Corps,
but all is quiet in our front.
