Wednesday, June 1st.
At 10 A. M. the enemy charged their own rifle pits supposing that we still held them, but our troops had left there at 2 A. M., and when the “Johnnies” advanced on the line held by our regiment and the artillery, we soon scattered them. Heavy firing was heard on the left, and it was reported that the Sixth Corps, and the Eighteenth under General “Baldy” Smith, were engaged. We left the vicinity of the Shelton House at dusk and marched about five miles to the left, crossing a ravine which we understood was called Gaine’s Mills, and halted for rest at 12 o’clock midnight.
