The remainder of the transportation will march to-morrow morning for Knoxville, escorted by the Fifteenth Ohio Volunteers.

III. Brigade commanders, in addition to supervising the embarkation of their commands themselves, will detail an active and energetic staff officer to remain constantly at the depot to supervise the embarkation and prevent delays, &c.

Should they fail to get it aboard the train of the regiment they will see that it is put aboard the trains upon which the transportation will be shipped, and remain with it and bring it through.
