Correspondence and orders concerning the army of Northern Virginia. [We propose giving, from time to time, from the compilation made by the War records office, such letters and orders as may be of special interest and value to our readers-beginning with those concerning the Army of Northern Virginia from May 30th, to August 13th, 1862.] Headquarters, Harrison's, Va., May 20, 1862. General Lee: General,--I had the honor to write you on Saturday, Not found. expressing the opinion that it is absolutely necessary that the Department of Henrico should be included in my command.

The remainder of the Federal army was on the north side of that river.

On May 30th Johnston concentrated twenty-three of his twenty-seven brigades, and prepared to throw them, on the morrow, against the Federal corps of Keyes and Heintzelman, which were on the south side.

The steamer Ingomar arrived from Memphis, about nine o'clock with a number of passengers, among them, many of the most beautiful daughters of the Bluff City. Off for Hatchie river with my guard in the morning.
