October 13 — Early this morning we moved to the Hazel River. There we bought corn and hay and fed our horses. We remained there until noon, then renewed our march toward Warrenton. We passed through the village of Jeffersonton, forded the Rappahannock at Warrenton Springs, came through Warrenton, and are camped to-night four miles east of Warrenton. The Yankees burnt the large hotel at Warrenton Springs and also destroyed the gas works. A great many of our army wagons passed us to-day while we halted on the Hazel. This afternoon we passed General Ewell’s infantry encamped just below Warrenton.
