The trains proceeded slowly, and it was daybreak when we reached Lebanon Junction, twenty-six miles out, where we disembarked, and marched to the bridge over Salt River, which we found had been burnt; whether to prevent Buckner coming into Louisville, or us from going out, was not clear.

Rousseau's Legion forded the stream and marched up to the State Camp of Instruction, finding the high trestles all secure.

The railroad hands went to work at once to rebuild the bridge.

I remained a couple of days at Lebanon Junction, during which General Anderson forwarded two regiments of volunteers that had come to him.

Before the bridge was done we advanced the whole camp to the summit of Muldraugh's Hill, just back of Elizabethtown.
