HEADQUARTERS SECOND ARMY CORPS, July 1, 1865.

Colonel T. S. BOWERS,
Assistant Adjutant-General, Hdqrs. Armies of the United States:

COLONEL: There were three officers of the Second Corps, colonels and brevet brigadier-generals, who for services in the last campaign were recommended by the division commanders, by myself, and by the major-general commanding the Army of the Potomac, for promotion to the rank of brigadier-general of volunteers in full. As there appears to be but little probability in the reduced condition of the army that such appointments will be made, I desire to recommend such promotions instead of the promotion to the full rank of brigadier-general of volunteers. I have been indisposed heretofore to recommend such high promotion. The officers referred to above are: Colonel and Bvt. Brigadier General R. McAllister, Eleventh New Jersey; Colonel and Brevet Brigadier-General Madill, Colonel and Bvt. Brigadier General J. Ramsey, Eighth New Jersey. I address this communication to you as the Army of the Potomac has ceased to exist. The organization of the Second Corps expires to-day.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

A. A. HUMPHREYS,

Major-General, Commanding.
