We
remained in line of battle all night. Our brigade lay in bivouac all day. The
Governor of the State of Iowa made a speech to the Iowa Brigade. Adjutant
General Baker and Congressman Wilson of Iowa spoke also. The Sixteenth Iowa
went out on picket. Skirmishing has been going on all day, and our men are
digging rifle-pits.
