daybreak of 10th June. Went into
very comfortable camp at this place,
being shaded from the sun by leafy
shelters. constructed by the men
throughout the limits of the encamp-

Here we were attached to the 3rd
Brigade. consisting Of the 18th and

Tactics, was regularly pursued at
this place, and considerable accuracy
attained. On the 4th July, the 9Th
Reg. S. c. Vol. was reviewed by Gen.
Beauregard and brilliant staff. He
EXPRESSED great satisfaction. at the
end of our exercises, and paid a high
compliment to the degree of efficiency
at which we had arrived.
On the 18th July at about 10 o'clock
A. M. the Brigade marched to Nc
Lanes Ford on Bulls Run, a point
eoui-distant between Mitchells Ford

Run, and took position in ambush,
near the Road from Centreville: on
this day Gent Bonham conducted his
retreat from Fairfax C. H. to Mitch
elrs Ford. without the loss of man
and crossed the Run.
On the morning of the 18th, the
9th S. c. Vol. left the ambush in
which they had been stationed dur
ing the previous night, and recrossed
to ITS former position, with the re-
mainder of the Brigade and re-
NAMED under arms during the day,
while sharp engagement took place
at Blackburn's Ford, mile higher
up the Run, in which the Federalists
were badly worsted by Va. Troops
under Gen. Longstreet. The night
OF the 18th was spent by us in
throwing strong entrenchments for
the defense of McLane's Ford.

1t is not the purpose of this Journal
to record events in which this Com
pany had no share. The part played
by the Bird Brigade to which the Pea
Ridge Volunteers was attached, will
only be noticed therefore; and his
tory will record the gallant deeds of
those brave men, who bore the heat
