We are now back again at our head qua\ters. About one o'clock this afternoon heavy firing of artillery commenced; this followed by vollies of musketry, just across the Chickahominy and a little to the left of my position. The firing continued for some time until orders came that the division had been got under arms. Genl. Slocum, immediately after dinner rode to Mechanicsville, in his absence Genl. Newton assumed command of the division.
It is now six o'clock and still the firing goes on. Report had just come in that the enemy are moving to the left to reinforce. Now the firing is very sharp.
