Friday, 20th.—After 12 o’clock last night we were ordered into line, and in short time were moving back rapidly; after leaving detail, to keep up hammering, to make Yanks think we were still fortifying. When Hardee’s Corps went to take position assigned it yesterday, found Federals had beaten to it, consequently we are falling back again. Passed Cartersville 8 A. M. Halted for the night two miles beyond the river on the Canton Road. Everything quiet generally.
