November 10th. A slight fall of snow during the night, the first of the season, which suggests a cessation of campaigning; at 3 P. M. the first division was ordered to encamp on the south side of Mountain Run and put up winter quarters. The order was received with unbounded satisfaction, as the season is late, the weather cold and the troops pretty well tired out. Division headquarters in the Hamilton house.
