Another for same: The double-deck barge Saint Nicholas was sent to City Point to-day with mules, and the Oregon to Monroe with cattle. As soon as they have landed their cargo please send both of these barges through the canal to Morehead City with as little delay as possible.

Brigadier General E. D. TOWNSEND,

Assistant Adjutant-General, U. S. Army:

GENERAL: I have the honor to request that Lieutenant Colonel J. S. Fullerton, assistant adjutant-general, Fourth Army Corps, be assigned to the Army of the Tennessee, with the rank of lieutenant-clonel, vice Lieutenant Colonel W. T. Clark, assistant adjutant-general, promoted to brigadier-general and assigned to duty commanding a brigade. In case Lieutenant-Colonel Clark is still on the roll as lieutenant-colonel I request that he be removed from his staff appointment. He has commanded a brigade during the entire campaign from Savannah.

Respectfully,

O. O. HOWARD,

Major-General.

P. S. -I have dropped "Department" from my papers, because recent orders have virtually dissolved the Department of the Tennessee, though I have received no official notice that it was broken up. I take it for granted that my assignment by the President to the Army of the Tennessee remains intact.
