We move early this morning and go as far as the Ocmulgee river, where we
go into camp. Two pontoon bridges are now being spanned across the river, one
for the teams and artillery, and the other for infantry. This evening Colonel
Perrin receives orders from General Corse to mount his regiment as fast as
stock can be captured. The order is received by the boys with great delight.
