soon as they are exchanged they will be forward to their respective companies. The Richmond Enquirer of a few days back contained a notification from R. Ould, exchange agent, which will doubtless cover the cases of many of them. All men of Breckinridge's command will be detained until instructions are received from him, which it is presumed will be in a few days. The general commanding approves your course inn reference to the officers of General Bragg's command, and wishes you to send forward the detachments as soon as they can be formed. It is not practicable to order a general court-material at the present moment.

Very respectfully, &c.,

CHAS. S. STRINGFELLOW,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
