June 4 — Rained all last night and tc-day. At four o’clock this evening a report reached camp that the Yanks were advancing. We went half a mile below New Market, took a position and remained there till nearly dark, then moved back a mile south of town and camped. The Yankees crossed the river this evening in boats, where we burnt the bridge yesterday.
