Fair and quite warm. Marched all night and about sunrise went into for breakfast. Up to this hour we have not seen a Reb only such as are going to the rear. The road is all the way strewn with dead horses and mules and perfectly paved with all kinds of soldiers clothing abandoned by our boys in their race for Berksville to cutoff the Johnnys up to G. Park We are marching on with every prospect that we are to march till morning. The roads are perfectly horrible. The thousands of teams that have passed have cut them up so as to render them almost impassable. The poor faded horses are mauled and cursed shamefully but they must be pushed on to carry ammunition to the troops who are pushing the enemy.
