Commanding Fifth Army Corps:

GENERAL: The major-general commanding directs that you make your arrangements to move with four days' rations and fifty rounds of ammunition on the person, forty rounds in reserve wagons.

FEBRUARY 4, 1865-7 P. M.

General WEBB:

The best route for me to take is down the Halifax road to Rowanty Post-Office, and then to take the road direct to the crossing of Rowanty Creek at W. Perkins'. It will be considerably shorter than to go down the plank road and via Reams' Station.

Respectfully,

G. K. WARREN,

Major-General.

General Gregg, commanding Second Cavalry Division, has been ordered to move at 3 a. m. to-morrow, and, passing through Reams' Station, to strike the Boydton plank road at Dinwiddie Court-House. He is to endeavor to intercept and capture any wagon trains carrying supplies from Belfield, and to take advantage of any opportunity of inflicting injury on the enemy. Major-
