It is reported that Gen. Hill is a strong churchman, and will not fight on Sunday, which may be the reason we were not disturbed much yesterday. To-day we are still at work on our breastwork, sodding the top and leaving loopholes to fire through. We cut our sods from the fields on the edge of the town, conveying them to the works in carts and on poles with boards laid on them. It is a change from digging, so we accept it. Our cavalry vidette was fired on twice last night about ten o'clock.
