Brigadier-General JOHNSON,

Commanding Post:

I am directed by the general commanding to say that the artillery and ammunition must be taken to the depot in the morning and loaded on the cars and sent to Columbia. Call on Captain Bridges, chief of artillery, to haul the artillery, and on Lieutenant-Colonel Hayes, chief quartermaster, for teams to haul the ammunition. General Schofield notified the general commanding that everything that cannot be transported in wagons must be sent to Columbia via railroad to-morrow; therefore, make your arrangements accordingly. We are ordered to be in readiness to march for Columbia Wednesday morning. Cox's and Wagner's divisions march to Lynnville to-morrow.

I am, general, your obedient servant,

W. H. SINCLAIR,

Major and Assistant Adjutant-General.
