June 30 — We renewed our march this morning on the Charlestown road. At Rippon we left the road and came by Summit Point and Smithfield. We struck the Winchester and Martinsburg pike at Bunker’s Hill, then moved toward Martinsburg. Camped this evening on the Winchester pike, two miles above Martinsburg. Rained nearly all day, and a few times during the day the clouds grew dark and lowering, and then the rain renewed the attack with redoubled vigor and came down in torrents. We took it all without making any resistance or returning the fire of the pelting storm.
