Three o'clock this morning the shrill notes are heard; all
are now in a bustle and uproar. By day-light the Kansas Seventh reports to
Colonel Rowett, and by sun-rise his troopers are again moving on the old Purdy
road towards West Tennessee. Nothing of note occurs through the day. We travel
about thirty miles and go into camp at Fort Hooker, on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad.
