to scout down Rappahannock. I have sent for Couch's division to come at once. As fast as I gainat are within reach. Orders have been sent to Couch to come here from Yorktown with the least possto join Pope as promptly as possible. Shall Couch move out also when he arrives? On the sameas been ordered to the front by Gen. Halleck. Couch's division will take the same direction as soo in getting his men ready to march. More of Gen. Couch's division have arrived. I have ordered theight. Have you any special orders for Gregg? Couch's infantry are almost [too] good to use as rai Telegram.

I recommend that no more of Couch's division be sent to the front, that Burnside early yesterday morning. Retain remainder of Couch's forces, and make arrangements to stop all re

tting on splendidly, driving the enemy all day, gaining a glorious victory, etc., etc. About three this morning Hammerstein returned from the field (where I had sent him to procure information), and told me that we were badly whipped, McDowell's and Sigel's corps broken, the corps of my own army that were present (Porter and Heintzelman) badly cut up but in perfect order. Banks was not engaged. Franklin had arrived and was in position at Centreville. Sumner must have got up by this time. Couch's division is about starting. It is probable that the enemy are too much fatigued to renew the attack this morning, perhaps not at all to-day; so that time may be given to our people to make such arrangements as will enable them to hold their own. I telegraphed last evening asking permission to be with my troops; received a reply about half an hour ago from Halleck that he would have to consult the President first! If they refuse to let me go out I think I shall feel obliged to insist upon

ucted me to repeat to you the order he sent this morning to withdraw your army to Washington without unnecessary delay. He feared that his messenger might miss you, and desired to take this double precaution. In order to bring troops upon ground with which they are already familiar, it would be best to move Porter's corps upon Upton's Hill, that it may occupy Hall's Hill, etc.; McDowell's to Upton's Hill; Franklin's to the works in front of Alexandria; Heintzelman's to the same vicinity; Couch to Fort Corcoran, or, if practicable, to the Chain bridge; Sumner either to Fort Albany or to Alexandria, as may be most convenient. In haste, general, very truly yours, Geo. B. Mcclellan, Maj.-Gen. U. S. A. In a very short time I had made all the requisite preparations and was about to start to the front in person to assume command as far out as possible, when a message came to me from Gen. Halleck informing me that it was the President's order that I should not assume command until

as they were. On Sept. 5 the 2d and 12th corps were moved to Rockville, and Couch's division (the only one of the 4th corps that had been brought from the Penins it have been necessary (as was supposed) to force the line of the Monocacy. Couch's division moved by the river road, covering that approach, watching the fords ner and Banks, and Sykes's division, upon Boonsborough to carry that position. Couch has been ordered to concentrate his division and join you as rapidly as possibl, 1862, 2 P. M. Your despatch of 12.30 just received. Send back to hurry up Couch. Mass your troops and carry Burkittsville at any cost. We shall have strong otarted at daylight this morning, and I am waiting to have it closed up here. Gen. Couch arrived about ten o'clock last night. I have ordered one of his brigades and he was ordered to join the main body of the army at Keedysville, after sending Couch's division to Maryland Heights. While the events which have just been descri

Franklin's corps at Buckeystown. Couch's division at Licksville. The orders from headquarters for the march on the 14th were as follows: May 13th, 11.30 P. M. Hooker to march at daylight to Middletown. May 13th, 11.30 P. M. Sykes to move at six A. M., after Hooker, on themarch 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. Couch ordered to move to Jefferson with his whole division. On the 14th Gen. Pleasonton continued his reconnoissance. Gibson's battery and afterwards Benjamin's battery (of Reno's corps) were placed on high ground to the left of the turnpike, and

Benjamin's 20-pounder batteries. Gen. Franklin's corps and Gen. Couch's division held a position in Pleasant Valley in front of Brownsville, with a strong force of the enemy in their front. Gen. Morell's division of Porter's corps was en route from Boonsborough, and Gen. Humphreys's division of new troops en rou this portion of the field. I return to the incidents occurring still further to the right. Between twelve and one P. M. Gen. Franklin's corps arrived on the field of battle, having left their camp near Crampton's Pass at six A. M., leaving Gen. Couch with orders to move with his division to occupy Maryland Heights. Gen. Smith's division led the column, followed by Gen. Slocum's. It was first intended to keep this corps in reserve on the east side of the Antietam, to operate on either fla

Of the reinforcements, Couch's division, marching with commendable rapidity, came up into position at a late hour in the mornt 10,000 infantry were marching on the same point from the direction of Winchester. I ordered Gen. Couch to march at once with his division and a part of Pleasonton's cavalry, with Franklin's corps within supporting distance, for the purpose of endeavoring to capture this force. Gen. Couch made a prompt and rapid march to Williamsport, and attacked the enemy vigorously, but they made their escapnks's) occupied Maryland Heights at one P. M. to-day.

The army still advances, but the machine is so huge and complicated that it is slow in its motions. Nov. 7, 2 P. M. . . . Sumner returned last night. Howard returned this morning. I go to Warrenton to-morrow. Reynolds is there now, Burnside at Waterloo, Bayard in front. Pleasonton and Averill are trying to catch Jeb Stuart again near Flint Hills. Couch is here, and moves to-morrow towards Warrenton. Porter and Franklin are at White Plains. Porter moves to-morrow to New Baltimore, thence next day to Warrenton. Franklin moves day after to-morrow to New Baltimore. Sigel will remain at Thoroughfare Gap and the vicinity. The Manassas Gap road is in such bad order that we cannot depend upon it thus far up for supplies. Gainesville will be the depot until the Orange and Alexandria Railroad is open to Warrenton. We will have great difficult
