In all cases artillery and wagons were to precede troops. It was found necessary to transport the ammunition-chests of the artillery-those of the caissons as well as of the pieces-by railroad. So much property was still remaining in the depots on the morning of the 8th, that the commanders of the divisions at Centrevill
