August 6 — Remained in camp yesterday, but this morning we renewed our march toward Gordonsville. When we arrived within two miles of the town we turned to the left and went to the Madison Court House pike, marched about a mile on that road, then moved across the country to the Orange Court House road and marched about a mile on that road, then moved to the Standardsville road. We passed through Barboursville after dark, and are camped one mile west of it on the Standardsville road. Barboursville is a small village in Orange County, about five miles northwest of Gordonsville. To-day we passed General Hill’s division, which was on the march toward the Rapidan.
