At the dawn oforps used it for a station during the day and were establishing themselves there as the regiment passed. On one of the tents in the deserted camp in the woods was written the legend, He that fights and runs away, will live to fight another day. May 3rd.

The march of seven miles through the woods, was continued until 3 P. M., when, having gained the Orange and Port Royal Road, the regiment was advanced to the left of the main road to guard against attack,—firing being heard from the front where General Birney and the Third Division were engaged with Hill and that awful campaign was begun which was not to end until the last day, but one, of the dying year.
