Remaining in camp at
Corinth without anything of note occurring until the evening of the 14th, we
receive marching orders. The guerrilla Roddy, having been hovering around
Glendale and Iuka, committing unwarranted depredations for some time, the
rumors this evening, confirmed by general indications are, that General Dodge
is about to start on an expedition against him, and the camps seem in a bustle
all around Corinth this evening.
