expected to get beyond Clinton wight he large trains moving with it; but in order to secure proper communication wight he corps, General Corse will push one brigade tot he pint on the Gordon road where it crosses the Milledgeville and Macon road.

Notwithstanding the fact that General Kilpatrick's cavalry will remain before Macon to- morrow, it is necessary that the utmost vigilance be shown by the several commands, to insure them against any attack of the large rebel force in the vicinity. In camping the troops good defensive positions will be chosen fronting toward the south generally. The rear is to be well guarded, and all the trains must be inside the lines and properly corralled. The Twenty- ninth Missouri Mounted Infantry marches with the right column.

III. When the corps is not together in one camp or column, and the artillery apportioned to the several divisions, the officers commanding the artillery must consider themselves under the orders of the general commanding the division to which he is ordered to report. The general commanding division will in such cases assign the artillery their position in the column, and in camp give it the necessary escorts and supports.
