JULY 24TH.—Cloudy and cool, but dry.
Yesterday and last night both Grant and Lee, or Beauregard, were moving pretty heavy forces from the south side to the north side of the river. I am not advised which initiated this manœuvre, but it indicates renewed activity of the armies in this vicinity.
I hope the roads will not be cut again, or we shall starve!
