Left Yorktown this
morning to meet the enemy, who are reported to be advancing.
10 P. M.—Camped at
Bethel Church; enemy reported six miles off. Our guns occupy a good position.
The church exhibits many marks of a late visit of the enemy. Scoundrels! They
even write blasphemy upon the walls of a house consecrated to God.
