There will be on need of waiting until the entire bridge is transported, as some of the boats can carry nothing but troops.

Major General H. W. HALLECK,

Chief of Staff, Armies of the United States:

GENERAL: In order to be able to garrison all the post in this department I find it necessary to make available every soldier I have. For this purpose I would respectfully ask permission to send North the rebel officers prisoners of war, that were sent to this department for retaliation. These now number about 500, about 100 of them having been exchanged by Colonel Mulford as being sick and unfit for service.
