July 9. — We remained here during the day. I rode over the mountain where our corps was, and learned all the roads. Our tents were pitched this afternoon. Headquarters of the Army of the Potomac moved up to the Gap to-day. Egbert returned this afternoon, having escaped from the rebels. Day pleasant. Sixth Corps moved through the Gap to the front. Saw the 1st Massachusetts Cavalry.
