This morning we finally move from our camp near the railroad, and march southward. Our destination is said to be Boonville. It seems that the entire army is in motion. The roads are soon blockaded with the artillery and army trains, and in consequence our regiment is delayed. We pass Danville about dark. Marching on, we go into camp about nine o'clock P. M.
The boys are very tired to-night.
