August 4. — General Newton rode down to the river this morning and visited General Robinson and GeneralCutler. Also stopped at General Buford’s headquarters. We had just got back to camp when we heard firing down near the river, and found that the enemy were advancing. After swallowing a hasty dinner, we rode down on a gallop, and found that the enemy were being driven back by our cavalry. It was showery during the day.
