The Fourth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and
Twenty-third Army Corps have concentrated here and are in bivouac. Foraging
parties are sent out from the different corps, as there are some rich
plantations in this section. Our corps moved camp today about four miles. All
is quiet in the front. The report is that the rebels are retreating toward the
Blue mountains.
