The Seventeenth Corps crossed the river this morning and
marched out about a mile, where we halted till late in the afternoon, when we
moved forward three miles and went into bivouac for the night. Three more boats
came up from Wilmington today. They are to be loaded with the refugees and
contrabands gathered up by Sherman's army.
