icinity. In the early part of the night, I sent back a detail from each company to cook provisions at our previous encampment, whither some of our wagons had been ordered to return for that purpose. A little before daybreak, on the morning of the ninth instant, we marched back through the woods to a point near the three-mile sign-post, which I have mentioned. Here the Forty-second regiment and the battalion were ordered to join General Trimble's brigade. While we were at this point, Major Seddon rejoined the battalion and assumed the command of it; but as that officer is now absent, I shall continue to give an account of the operations of the battalion during that day. About eight o'clock we heard a cannonade to our rear in the direction of Port Republic. About half-past 8 o'clock we commenced our march back toward Port Republic. On the way we halted at our old encampment and furnished the men with the provisions which had been cooked for them, as I have already mentioned.
