Before daylight this morning we cross the Ocmulgee River, all the rest of
the army having crossed last night. Our division is now in the rear guarding
Kilpatrick's train; the roads are very muddy; only succeed in getting ten miles
to-day, when we go into camp near Monticello. A cold rain is now falling; the
chilling winds, how fierce they blow! The Seventh suffers to-night.
