Robert M. Magill—Personal Reminiscences of a Confederate Soldier Boy.

Friday, 10th.—Left our resting-place at 2 A. M. Passed Salvisa at 4:30 A. M. 10 A. M., waiting for road to be opened so we can get to our brigade wagons. Have been without rations since day before yesterday. It is said rebels captured Brigadier-General Wood yesterday; secreted himself under box when his brigade had to surrender, but some hungry rebel turned it over and found him. Rumored Lee has taken Washington City. Troops passing in two heavy columns; cannonading ahead. Reported that Bragg’s and Buell’s forces were engaged all day yesterday and until 11 o’clock last night. Passed through Harrodsburg at sundown; camped one-half mile west of town in cedar thicket.
