March 29, 1865.

The following instructions from the major-general commanding the army for the movement to-morrow are furnished for your information and guidance:

Before advancing Brigadier-General Hays will contract his right so that it will move nearly along the road from Dabney's Mill it J. Crow's. He will have one brigade in reserve, as will each of the other division commanders.

A division of General Ord's army will move on the right of Hays', and keep connected with it. Division commanders will mutually support each other when called upon to do so.

General Hays will maintain the connection of his pickets with those of the troops from the Army of the James.

General Miles will maintain connection with General Griffin and support him if necessary.

Division commanders will keep the commanding general of the corps constantly advised of their progress and the character of the ground they are occupying.

The headquarters of the corps will be about the center of the line of battle.

By command of Major-General Humphreys:

C. A. WHITTIER,

Assistant Adjutant-General.

MARCH 29, 1865 - 4.10 p. m.

General HUMPHREYS:

We have prisoners from Bushord Johnson's division. They report many troops coming down the road to attack us. Our two advances met and drove them back. They are now deploying on our front. I should like re-enforcements if your line will permit.

Respectfully,

G. K. WARREN,

Major-General.
