HEADQUARTERS MIDDLE MILITARY DIVISION, March 23, 1865.

General J. D. FESSENDEN,
Commanding Post:

The major-general commanding directs that you send a regiment of infantry to-morrow morning, with two days' rations, to Berry's Ferry, to return by way of White Post, with instructions similar to those given the regiments you have previously sent out. If you will send word at what hour the regiment moves and the name of the regiment a few cavalrymen will be ordered to report to the commanding officer as orderlies. At Berry's Ferry the regiment may possibly communicate with or hear from an expedition which went through Loudoun County to Ashby's Gap to-day.

The PRESIDENT,

City Point:

I was glad to hear your safe arrived at Fortress Monroe, and hope that by this time you and Mrs. Lincoln have reached General Grant's headquarters in health and comfort. Nothing new has transpired here. Your tormentors have taken wings and departed., mr. Whiting, solicitor of the Department, has tendered his resignation, which, with your permission, I will accept. From absence and ill-health he has been of no service for many months. What does General Grant say about Mr. Yeatman? The weather here is cold, windy, and very disagreeable, so
