July 22.— As we did not receive any orders to move last night, we supposed we were safe for to-day, but about 1 P.M. Major Biddle came up with orders for us to march on to White Plains. We started as soon as possible, compelling an old darkey and a man named Simmons to act as guides. We had a very pleasant march of about 9 miles, reaching White Plains about 8 P.M. On our way we found traces of Mosby’s corrals, etc. The day was pleasant.
