The FifthTexas, Second Mississippi and Second Texas regiments bivouacked within half musket shotof my front and pickets within speaking distance. Every one knew that the struggle wouldre-commence in the morning, and our whole line stood in arms. At 3 oclock in the morn-ing, before light, the enemy drew in all his pickets.

This soon drew the fire of our Parrott guns; the line of skirmishers fell back. -^5-LJ: ^^^^^KM
