This morning we
proceed on our way, and arrive in camp at Corinth about noon, much disappointed
in not finding any rebels, the design of the expedition being to cut off
Colonel Biffle and Forrest who were retreating from Colonels Hatch and
Phillips. But like somebody else, we were one day too late.
