Started again this
morning, and passed over the Chancellorsville battlefield. Marched twelve miles
to-day. We passed a brigade of negro troops. They gave us a terrible cursing,
and hollered "Fort Pillow" at us. I am only sorry that this brigade
of negroes was not there, then they certainly would not curse us now. We halted
at dark on the plank road seven miles from Fredericksburg.
