October 4 — This morning we received orders to move down the Valley. We left camp early in the day and marched once more for the Valley turnpike; we passed through Fishersville and struck the Valley pike at Staunton. We are camped to-night two miles below Staunton, on the Valley pike.
General Sheridan is in command of the Yankee army in the Valley of the Shenandoah, and if he has the men that he had at Trevillian Station, there will be some tough work on the boards yet this fall, for his cavalry is made out of first-class fighting stuff. We fought them at Trevillian last June.
