ice,3,000--6,500 Total, 46,858 Note.--Instead of fourteen thousand five hundred men, Banks had only about eight thousand, from his report to me after the battle of Cedar Mountain. (See correspondence on the subject with Gen. Banks.) I certify that this is a true copy of the consolidated morning report of the army of Virginia, dated July thirty-first, 1862, commanded by Major-Gen. Pope. United States military telegraph, War Department, Washington, D. C., June 30, 1862. Middletown, June 30--1.10 P. M. Time received: 1.45 P. M. [Extract.] Major-General John Pope: . . . The troops forming First corps are not in good condition. They are weakened and poorly provided. The organization is not complete, and the whole cavalry force consists of not more than eight hundred (800) effective men and horses. They are scarcely sufficient for picket and patrol duty, so that I can hardly make a reconnoissance. . . (Signed) F. Sigel, Major-General Commanding. A true copy: T. C. H.

valley of the Shenandoah. Several cavalry expeditions which that officer despatched for the purpose were completely successful, and succeeded in breaking up the railroad at several points upon several occasions. At the same time I directed Major-Gen. Banks to send forward an infantry brigade, with all his cavalry, to march rapidly upon Culpeper Court-House, and after taking possession of that place, to push forward cavalry toward the Rapidan, in the direction of Gordonsville. On the fourteenth of July, after this movement was successfully accomplished, I directed Gen. Banks to push forward, during the night of that day, the whole of his cavalry force, under Brig.-Gen. Hatch, from Culpeper, with orders to take possession of Gordonsville, and to destroy the railroad for ten or fifteen miles east of that place, with a portion of his forces, while all remaining pushed forward in the direction of Charlottesville, destroying the railroad bridges and interrupting that line of communication

my at Gordonsville or in the vicinity, and the whole operation as ordered was not only easily practicable, but would have been attended with serious consequences to the enemy; but, to my surprise and dissatisfaction, I received, on the seventeenth of July, from Gen. Banks, a report that Gen. Hatch had taken with him infantry, artillery, and trains of wagons, and that in consequence of bad roads he had at that date only succeeded in going as far as Madison Court-House. Meantime, on the sixteenth of July, the advance of Jackson's forces, under Ewell, had reached Gordonsville, and the proposed movement, as ordered, became impracticable. No satisfactory explanation has ever been made to me of this departure from my orders on the part of Gen. Hatch. Finding it no longer practicable to occupy Gordonsville as I had designed, I sent orders to Gen. Banks to direct Gen. Hatch to select from his own cavalry and that of Gen. McDowell, which I had sent forward, fifteen hundred to two thousand o

f possible destroy the railroad between that place and Lynchburgh. In compliance with this order, Gen. Hatch commenced to make the movement as directed, but abandoned it very soon after he started, and returned by the way of Sperryville to his post. As soon as I had received the report of this second failure, I relieved Gen. Hatch from the command of the cavalry of General Banks's corps, and sent Brig.-Gen. Buford to report to Gen. Banks as the Chief of Cavalry of his corps. On the twenty-ninth of July I left Washington, and, after reviewing Ricketts's division, of McDowell's corps, at Waterloo Bridge, repaired to the headquarters of Gen. Banks, a few miles south-east of Little Washington. All preparations having been completed, I instructed Gen. Banks to move forward on the seventh of August, and take post at the point where the turnpike from Sperryville to Culpeper crosses Hazel River. Gen. McDowell was ordered on the day previous to move forward with Ricketts's division from Wat

g Ricketts's division, of McDowell's corps, at Waterloo Bridge, repaired to the headquarters of Gen. Banks, a few miles south-east of Little Washington. All preparations having been completed, I instructed Gen. Banks to move forward on the seventh of August, and take post at the point where the turnpike from Sperryville to Culpeper crosses Hazel River. Gen. McDowell was ordered on the day previous to move forward with Ricketts's division from Waterloo Bridge to Culpeper Court-House, so that on the seventh of August all the infantry and artillery forces of the army of Virginia were assembled along the turnpike from Sperryville to Culpeper, and numbered about twenty-eight thousand men. King's division, as I have before stated, was left on the Lower Rappahannock, opposite Fredericksburgh, and was not then available for active operations in the direction of Gordonsville. The cavalry forces covering the front of the army on that day were distributed as follows: Gen. Buford, with five re

The town had been occupied for several days by Crawford's brigade, of Gen. Banks's corps; and on the seventh Rickeburgh, and by no means to permit the enemy to interpose between me and that place. Although during the whole of the eighth of August it was very doubtful, from the reports of Generals Bayard and Buford, whether the enemy's movement was in the directeneral Commanding.
