| Everything is quiet on our
lines this morning. General McLaws has ordered Colonel Colcock to
Pocotaligo, General Young to Charleston, leaving only my division to keep up the lines mentioned yesterday.
The railroad train is engaged in removing its iron from the road
some three or four miles from Hardeeville {on
the Charleston & Savannah RR}. I have to send scouts in
front of the train to prevent its being captured. A picket could be
easily kept in front of the train, from one of the divisions near
Hardeeville, to notify it of any movement of the enemy, without
causing me to scout fifteen miles from here. |
