The badge now usen by the corps being similar to one formerly adopted by another corps, the major- general commanding has concluded to adopt, as a distinguishing badge for this command, an arrow. In its swiftness, in its surety of striking where wanted, and in its destructive powers when so intnded, it is probably as emblematical of this corps as any design that could be adopted. The arrovw for divisions will be two inches long and for corps headquarters one inch and a half. The First DIvision arrovw will be red, the Third DIvision white, the Furth Division blue; the Ninth Illinois Mounted Infnatry same as the Furth Division, and for coarps headquarters it will be of gold, or expected that every officer an man in the command will, as soon as practicable, assume his badge. The wagons and ambulances will be marked with the badge of their resepctive commands, the arrovw being twelve inches long.

By command of Major General F. P. Blair:

C. CADLE, JR.,

The colonel commanding takes great pleasure in announcing to this command the fact that during the long and fatiguing campaign just ended no regiment has failed or even faltered in the discahrge of the duties assigned it, whether performing fatigue duty, wading thrugh almost impassablle swamps, or facing the well- aimed shot and shell of
