We reached Dum. fries, a small village on the Potomae, at noun, where we “dined,” Then leaving the Alexandrian road we moved toward Fairfax court house, reached and crossed the Occoquan river ou canvas pontoon bridges after night and bivouacked on its bank, There were halts, stops and delays | yet by rapid movement when on the road we made nineteen miles.
