Friday, 8th Pleasant. This morning we
headed again for Paducah. The boys were very much disappointed, for all the day
previous the cannon had been roaring at Columbus and we expected to go there in
the morning, consequently the 22d Ind. regt. who were at Viola, were sent for
to join us at Melbourne, but during the night the cannonading ceased. By a
messenger we learned that our boys had taken the battery at Belmont then
retreated before a superior force. So we marched back to the place where we
camped the night previous and camped. Gen. Paine commanded the forces.
