We left our teams behind at Kingston and they did not catch
up with us till this morning. We lay here in camp all day. About sundown we
received marching orders and our division started for Adairsville, some fifteen
miles distant from Rome. We left our teams and all artillery behind and
marching through on a by-road, reached Adairsville by midnight.
