By Cedar Mountain.
I am being relieved of my duty as officer of the day by Lieutenant Dros. Our sailcloth tents are distributed in the afternoon, however they will not be erected today any more.
Proclamation by Jefferson Davis that in effect of the mass-regulations and order from General Pope (about swearing oath and contribution of property by the citizens in the secessionist states) that the officers from Pope's Army, if and when they fall into the hands of the Rebels, are not to be considered as regular prisoners of war but as marauders etc. To be hanged etc. A lot of vandalism and plundering is going on in neighboring farms, especially on the farm of a wealthy secessionist "John Garnett" where the main quarters of the Rebels were located.
