Yesterday and to day have been so
remarkably quiet, that the report that the
rebs had, or were evacuating Richmond,
was greatly beleived by the troops.
This morning a reconnoisance was made,
and a short but obstinate skirmish ensued,
but as neither party could gain any advan-
tage, both sides with drew, as if by mutual
consent. In the evening, had a severe thunder
shower. During the day it was excessively
warm.
