Smith's camp; got homerse; then rode to the ground in front of Alexandria-twelve hours in saddle, Aug. 31.

To support this movement McCall's division was, on the 9th of Oct., brought to the Virginia side to Langley's, and a few days later to Prospect Hill. He was replaced at Tennallytown by a brigade of Buell's division. On the 5th of Oct. Heintzelman's division was formed, and
