On the night of the 25th of August, 'Observer' came in with the news that something was in the wind.

Sherman was getting awful restless, and we had found out that this always meant lots of trouble to our friends on the other side.
"Sure enough, orders came to get ready to move, and the next night we all moved to the right and rear, out of sight of the Johnnies.

Our well built works were left in charge of Garrard's Cavalry, who concealed their horses in the rear, and came up and took our places.

The whole army except the Twentieth Corps moved quietly off, and did it so nicely that we were gone some time before the enemy suspected it.

Then the Twentieth Corps pulled out towards the North, and fell back to the Chattahoochie, making quite a shove of retreat.
