Thursday, 25th.—2 A. M., aroused and marched three and one-half miles towards Tunnel Hill. After daylight marched up Crow’s Valley to Aults’ Mill, and formed in line of battle. Companies F and D thrown out half-mile as skirmishers. In short time Yanks appeared in some force and drove us back near our main line, where we reformed and skirmished with them the remainder of the day; two or three wounded. About 10 A. M., they charged Reynolds’ Brigade on our left, but were driven back. Shortly after they charged Mill Creek Gap, but were driven back with heavy loss. Reported our forces followed them to Buzzard Roost. All quiet at dark; returned to our place in line of battle.
