Oct. 13th, '62

Feel very little bet-
ter to-day, still have
to go. Marched early
over the same ground
we passed yesterday,
struck the pike at
about the same place,
turned to the left, &
have moved along
the pike, rapidly, to
within 2 miles of Dan-
ville. Here we have
halted & stacked arms,
resting in place. Rep-
orted that we are
ging to shell the town!!!
Still cold & chilly; rain-
ing occasionally.
"Something in the wind",
& I don't know what; the
ambulances are all
hurrying along the pike,
some parts of our train
going on, some parts
stopped. Mounted
orderlies flyng a-
round & all confusion &
bustle. The cavalry,
which so boldly dash-
ed up to our camp
on the morning
of the 10th inst., was
Gen'l John Morgan's.
Went into camp; were
aroused at 12 o'clock,
& ordered to fall in as
quickly & quietly as pos-
sible; did so; march-
ed to Danville, - after
passing through part
of the town we turned
squarely to the Left
(West).
