According to orders
of yesterday, about 5,400 of Zollicoffer's Brigade, including six pieces of
artillery, were put in motion along the London road.
The First Battalion
struck tents and prepared to move, but as McNairy was ordered to bring up the
rear, and as the infantry, artillery, and wagons (about two hundred of the
latter) were nearly all day passing his camp, he camped for another night on
Bald Hill. The head of the column bivouacked some six miles from Bald Hill and
ten from Camp Buckner.
