n on duty in Washington, was ordered, at the suggestion of General Scott, to proceed immediately to Harper's Ferry and assume command. That order was couched in the following terms:-- Adjutant General's office, Washington, April 17, 1861. Sir: By direction of the Secretary of War you will immediately proceed to Harper's Ferry, Virginia, and perform the duties of superintendent of the armory at that place until further orders. I am, Sir, Very respectfully, &c., (Signed,) L. Thomas, Adjutant-General. To Captain Charles P. Kingsbury, Ordnance Department. Should it occur to the reader that there is a slight discrepancy between the language of Mr. Cameron's report as already quoted, and the terms of this order, I must refer him to that ex-official for an explanation. And it would also be satisfactory if a copy of the orders of the government, which were executed in such a handsome and successful manner, could be furnished at the same time by the Secretary. Before
ent servant, Irvin McDowell, Brigadier-General, commanding. Chauncy McKeever, Asst. Adj.-General. Special despatch to the Detroit daily Tribune. Washington, July 23. My brigade has just arrived, after covering the retreat of the entire army. All are up in tolerable good order. The Michigan Second and Third regiments were in the rear of the whole. J. B.

The Fourth Michigan had been left at Fairfax Station and Fairfax Court-House by order of General McDowell. Halting for rest and water, I obeyed the
onfederate battalion, and a field battery. On the same day the following telegram was dispatched to General Johnston. The troops sent you were taken from Port Hudson; a brigade under Brigadier-General Buford, aggregate present four thousand and sixty-five. The enemy has nine boats between Vicksburg and Port Hudson. He has land forces at New Carthage, from Grant's army, and can reinforce them to any extent; he can use his nine boats to cross his troops to this side. The arrival of General Lorenzo Thomas has changed the enemy's plans, or his movement up the river was a ruse. I ought to have back Buford's brigade; certainly no more troops should leave this department. A dispatch from Brigadier-General Chalmers, yesterday, says, sixty-four boats left Memphis since Thursday, loaded with soldiers and negroes, ostensibly to assault Vicksburg. The raft on the Yazoo, at Snyder's Mills, has given way, and is entirely destroyed; I am, therefore, compelled to strengthen the batteries there
