Some of the troops started quite early this morning, but our
division left later, taking up the rear today. We marched fifteen miles and
went into bivouac after crossing the Acon river, wading it just below the mouth
of Bull Run creek, which empties into it. There are some fortifications here,
it being near where the battles of Bull Run were fought.
