Johnston dispatched
thus to the Secretary of War from Shelbyville:
My
army will move beyond this to-day on the road to Decatur. One brigade remains
here to protect the stores until they are shipped south.
I
will be at the telegraph office at Fayetteville to-morrow morning to receive
any communications.*
After a march of
about fifteen miles on the Fayetteville pike, we went into camps in a beautiful
woods, where we had plenty of wood for fires.
