No. 1. Report of Major General Henry W. Halleck, U. S. Army, General-in-Chief.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, Washington, D. C., November 15, 1863.

SIR: In compliance with your orders, I submit the following summary

of military operations since my last annual report:

DEPARTMENT OF THE WEST VIRGINIA AND ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

the Blue Ridge, so as to observe its passes and to give battle to the enemy whenever an opportunity occurred. On reaching Warrenton, however, General Burnside proposed to give up this pursuit of Lee's army toward Richmond, and to move down the north side of the Rappahannock
