July 10. — Started at 6 A.M. and moved to a position beyond Beaver Creek, and about 5 miles from Boonesboro. Our cavalry had a fight with the rebels, and drove them. We took up our position on the right flank of the Sixth Corps. Saw Whittier to-day. Skirmishing going on all day. We bivouacked at night in the woods.
