58.-General Halleck's report of the operations of the National armies.
Headquarters of the army, Washington, Dec. 2, 1862.
Sir: In compliance with your orders, I have the honor to submit the following report of military operations since the twenty-third of July last, when, in compliance with the President's order, I assumed the command of the army as General-in-Chief.
The first thing to which my attention was called on my arrival here was the condition of the army at Harrison's Landing, on the James River.
I immediately visited General McClellan's headquarters for consultation.
I left Washington on the twenty-fourth and returned on the twenty-seventh.
The main object of this consultation was to ascertain if there was a possibility of an advance upon Richmond from Harrison's Landing, and if not, to favor some plan of uniting the armies of Gen. McClellan and Gen. Pope on some other line.
Not being familiar with the position and numbers of the troops in Virginia, and
