Early breakfast and then moved. Took the Zollicoffer road,
whole Brigade. Co. H went on with Shackleford. Stopped and tore up two miles of
track and burned the bridges. Still in charge of Batt. Capt. Stewart sick and
Lt. Bills under arrest. About 5 P. M. report came that enemy were coming. To
horse. Such a run. 8th Tenn. pickets fired upon and several captured. Moved
towards Jonesboro. Camped on byroad to Carter. Good camp but far from water.
