Have remained quietly in camp to-day; skirmishing and
artillery firing along the line this afternoon; warm, but cooler than
yesterday; army moved back across Cedar Creek about 9 o'clock a. m. to our old
position; wagons have come, but have got to make three days' rations last four,
as Mosby captured some of our train; all's quiet to-night.
