July, 1863.
1st July, 1863 (Wednesday).
We did not leave our camp till noon, as nearly all General Hill's corps had to pass our quarters on its march towards Gettysburg.
One division of Ewell's also had to join in a little beyond Greenwood, and Longstreet's corps had to bring up the rear.
During the morning I made the acquaintance of Colonel Walton, who used to command the well-known Washington Artillery, but he is now chief of artillery to Longstreet's corps d'armee. He is a big man, ci-devant auctioneer in New Orleans, and I understand he pines to return to his hammer.
Soon after starting we got into a pass in the South Mountain, a continuation, I believe, of the Blue Ridge range, which is broken by the Potomac at Harper's Ferry.
The scenery through the pass is very fine.
The first troops, alongside of whom we rode, belonged to Johnson's division of Ewell's corps.
Among them I saw, for the first time, the celebrated Stonewall Brigade, formerly commanded by Jackson.

84.-affair at Shelbyville, Tennessee.
Manchester, Tenn., July 1, 1863.
Headquarters still remain here, and the efforts of the General for the past three days have been confined to get his troops and trains all concentrated at this point.
The corps of General Thomas was yesterday thrown forward, and his advance is within four miles of the enemy.
We shall probably advance to-day; and if so, the chances are in favor of a great battle to-morrow.
It seems likely that Bragg intends to make a stand at Tullahoma.
Tullahoma is a strong position naturally; its artificial defences are respectaable.
and the troops are laboring day and night strengthening them.
While sitting to-day with General Rosecrans and a number of the members of his staff, under the General's marquee, General Stanley, Chief of Cavalry, with General Mitchell and his division of horse, reached headquarters — being just back from his brilliant expedition to Shelbyville, the headquarters of the rebel army.
