Tuesday, 10th.—Moved on hill just to our right before day; soon after relieved by brigade of Cleaborn’s Division. Returned to our old position. Federals have some little forts six hundred yards in our front. 8 A. M., our batteries opened on those in our front; they replied, and brisk cannonading continued for some time, when the Yanks ceased firing, and in short time took their cannon away. 11 A. M., Yanks all gone from our front; have fallen back some distance, but are shelling our skirmish line from the mountain.
