On the 9th started with division to re-enforce General Pope, but after moving some 2 miles changed direction and returned to the position left during the night, and there remained until the 18th; then moved forward some 2 miles and established camp. On the 20th moved battery to the vicinity of breastworks which our men were throwing up, and at about 4.30 p. m. opened fire upon a rebel battery which had a little while before begun to shell our pickets and the men in the trenches.
