CIRCULAR.] HDQRS. THIRD DIVISION, SECOND CORPS,

May 3, 1864.

This command will move promptly at 11.30 o'clock to-night, the Second Brigade leading, ambulances, forage wagons, and ammunition trains following division, 50 rounds of ammunition on person, three days' rations in haversacks, three days' bread and small rations in knapsacks, three days' beef on hoof, one hospital and one medical wagon to each brigade. The spring wagons and pack-mules to each brigade headquarters allowed. Quartermaster's department will furnish transportation for five days' forage with command. The one hundred and tenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers will be detailed for train guard, and commanding officer will report for orders. Pickets will be relieved at 8 p. m., and provision made to provide them with requisite rations and ammunition. Great care will be used to avoid all music or beating of drums, and commanding officers will be held strictly responsible for all unusual fires or any demonstration that would betray the movement to the enemy. All guards, safeguards, and detachments will be promptly relieved at once, and without further orders. The march for to-morrow may be a fatiguing one, but the commanding general is confident of the full support of his command, to endure all that could be expected of men. Success depends on celerity and boldness, and in the full and cheerful obedience of officers and men to orders.

By command of Major-General Birney:
