5. The brevet major-general commanding the division desires to express his gratification to the officers and men under his command for their fine appearance on the review of yesterday, as well as for the promptness and energetic manner in which they were on the ground at so short notice, being less than an hour. The division was very highly complimented by Major-General Meade and the visitors present; also by Major-General Doyle, of the English Army. It is probable the corps will be reviewed in a short time on the ground near the Cummings house. There is still room for improvement, particularly in the clean-liness of the clothing, as well as the manner of packing the knapsack. The overcoat will be neatly rolled and strapped on top. The men will all appear in white gloves.
