A number of our
regiment went to preaching in Fulton. News coming to church that the Federals
were not far off, and moving in the direction of Fulton, we did not remain to
hear that preacher bring his remarks to a close, but went to camps in haste to
prepare to receive the enemy. However, in place of coming to Fulton, the
Federals crossed Tombigbee some distance above Fulton, cutting off Major
Morton's scout from camps.
