Indeed, they have already predicted it in their newspapers. . . . Benjamin F. Butler, Major-General Commanding. In half an hour after the receipt of this order my troops were moving to Bermuda Hundred and City Point for embarkation. Learning at Fort Monroe by a telegram on the 29th that the Army of the Potomac had crossed the Pamunkey, I determined to land the troops directly at White House, and the debarkation began there on the morni

While organizing the division I studied up the situation, and at the end of a week I reported to General Butler that I did not consider the tisoners, having seriously impeded the movement of the Confederate reenforcements moving north under General Beauregard.
