ing in such a manner that at the close of that day the disposition was as follows: headquarters, with the divisions of Porter, Franklin, Sykes (regulars), and the artillery reserves, at Cumberland, now a temporary depot; Couch and Casey at New Kent Court-House; Hooker and Kearny near Roper's Church; Richardson and Sedgwick near Elthan. Gen. Van Alen was left, with a small force, as military governor of Yorktown; Col. Campbell with his regiment, the 5th Pa. Cavalry, at Williamsburg. On the 14th and 15th it rained heavily and continuously, and somewhat on the 16th. On the 15th and 16th the divisions of Porter, Franklin, and Smith were with great difficulty advanced to White House. The roads were so bad, narrow, and infrequent as to render the movements of large masses very slow and difficult; so much so that in the movement to White House on the 15th and 16th it required forty-eight hours to move two divisions and their trains five miles. On the 16th headquarters advanced to Whi

On the 14th I telegraphed to the Secretary of War: June 14, midnight All quiet in every direction. The stampede of last night has passed away. Weather now very favorable. I hope two days more will make the ground practicable. I shall advance as soon as the bridges are completed and the ground fit for artillery to move. At the same time I would be glad to have whatever troops can be sent to me. I can use several new regiments to advantage. It ought to be distinctly understood that McDowe

I had hoped to have had a longer and fuller conversation with you, after travelling so far for the purpose. On the 14th and 15th, and before we had been able to embark all our sick men, two army corps were put in motion towards Fort Monroe. This was reported in the annexed despatch: Aug. 16, 11 P. M. Movement has commenced by land and water. All sick withe order of Aug. 4. In a letter to the Secretary of War, Aug. 30, 1862, Gen Halleck said: It will be seen from my telegraphic correspondence that Gen. McClellan protested against the movement, and that it was not actually commenced till the 14th inst. After the commencement of the movement it was continued with the utmost rapidity until all the troops and material were en route, both by land and water, on the morning of the 16th. Late in the afternoon of that day, when the last man h

Halleck telegraphed me that scouts report a large force still on the Virginia side of the Potomac. If so I fear younion was confirmed by the fact that Col. Davis marched the cavalry part of Col.

You may rest assured that no member of the 2d corps has its honor more at heart, or is more proud of its uniformly admirable conduct, whether on the march or in battle, than is the commander under whom it first served. In my account of Antietam I will take care to correct the error of the comte. And am always your friend, Geo. B. Mcclellan. Gen. F. A. Walker. May 13th, 6.45 P. M.

Gibson's battery and afterwards Benjamin's battery (of Reno's corps) were placed on high ground to the left of the turnpike, and obtained a direct fire on the enemy's position in the Gap. Gen. Cox's division, which had been ordered up to support Gen. Pleasonton, left its bivouac near Middletown at six A. M. The 1st brigade reached the scene of action about nine A. M.. and was sent up the old Sharpsburg road by Gen. Pleasonton to feel the enemy
