This same night the enemy abandoned his line and withdrew to the river, and on the 5th the division followed in rear of the corps on the railroad and took position on the Chattahoochee, above Pace's Ferry.

In the afternoon General Newton directed me to swing my left forward, for the purpose of joining the right of General Schofield's corps, which was moving in line down the valley on the east side of Rocky Face, with the view of developing the enemy's works. I found myself unable, however, to join General Schofield's right flank without losing my connection with the left of Harker's brigade, which I was directed to maintain and support him in the event of his making an attack. Adjusting my lines with Harker's left, I moved cautiously upon the enemy's works until the skirmishers of my right regiment became engag east side of the Chattooga Mountain, going into camp near Tilton.
