March 18 — This morning at sunrise we received orders for a general camp move. We leisurely packed up all our household chattels, and in about two hours after we received the order were on the move. The general order for the brigade move was countermanded for the day just as we left camp, but through some mistake or negligence it failed to reach us in time, and we moved up the pike about five miles, and camped between Hawkinstown and Mount Jackson. All the rest of the brigade remained in their old camp.
