fatigue before leaving camp will be inspected by the proper officer. Great care should be bestowed upon the inspection of the camps and quarters of the men, and of all hospitals connected with their camps (as to their sanitary condition and locatin); of the arms and acounterments of the men, which should be kept clean and in good condition, and of the condition of allpublic property pertaining to the caommand.

Captain G. LOFLAND,

Asst. Adjt. General, Second Division, Fifteenth Army Corps:

SIR: I have the honor to report that, according to orders received from your headquarters, the Third Brigade guarded forage trainthie day; the rear of the column is now (6. 30 p. m.) coming into camp, having marched d thirty miles. The roads were in fair condition for seventeen miles from Goldsborough, but few places need any work to pass the artillery and trasportationoft he corps. The bridge opposite the fourteen- mile post on the road to the left, crossing Bull Head Creek, was burnd last night. I hear the bridges farther up are also destroyed. We gathered all the forage near the main Snow Hill oroad for fifteen miles from this camp. Saw no rebels. I would respectfully all the attention of the general commanding to the fact that there are still a large number of mounted men from this corps; they are stripping the people of everything that can sustain life. I saw families of women, children, and negroes who had absolutely nothing to eat, and their houses and quarters stripped of everything- cooking utensils, bedding, crokery, &c. Some rascals are beginning to set fire to the deserted huses of those who have fled to Goldsborugh- also burning fgences. All kinds of vehicles were seen upon the road all day. The conduct of teamsters and men in charge of train was good. The amount of forage pgathered was fity- eight wagon loads of corn and fodder, three wago loads of lumber, and some ambulances, which I did not examine. Very respectfully, your obeient servant,

JOHN M. OLIVER,

Brigadier-General.
