HDQRS. DEPT. OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA, Charleston, S. C., June 3, 1862.

Brigadier-General MERCER,
Commanding, &c. [James Island]:

GENERAL: You will use the utmost vigilance to prevent the enemy from gaining information of the country by reconnaissance. Your men should keep concealed, lying down to avoid the effect of shells. If your attack is made at night let your men, on approaching the position of the enemy in skirmish order, deliver a fire from one rank only, and immediately after let all lie down, those who have discharged their pieces reloading in that position, or if near enough to use the bayonet do so immediately after the discharge of the pieces. I certainly expect to have a good account from you before daylight.

Major-General, Commanding.
