It rained and hailed this afternoon, and by night it got
very warm. We were ordered under arms at 6 p. m., and we formed a hollow square
on the parade ground. We remained in line until 10 o'clock, when we were
ordered back to our tents. It was reported out in front that the rebels were
advancing in force from Corinth, but at 10 o’clock the word came that they had
bivouacked for the night.
