C., on the afternoon of the thirtieth of September, 1862, on the transports Ben Deford, Boston, Cosmopolitan, and Neptune, and arrived off the bar of St. John's River early on the following morning, October the first, but was unable to enter the river until two P.

On the sixth of October he was peremptorily ordered: To cross the Potomac and give battle to the enemy or drive him south. Your army must move now, while the roads are good. It will be observed that three weeks have elapsed since this order
