HEADQUARTERS DE RUSSY'S DIVISION, Arlington, Va., May 23, 1864.

Colonel J. H. TAYLOR,
Chief of Staff and Assistant Adjutant-General:

COLONEL: I had the honor to informing you yesterday morning that after receiving one more regiment I should not have quarters for any more. Since that communication was written the One hundred and sixty-ninth and One hundred and thirty-eighth Ohio Infantry have reported and been assigned to duty at Ethan Allen and other posts. I have no more barracks room to spare, and I now request that the One hundred and forty-seventh Regiment Ohio Infantry may be supplies with tents before leaving Washington, and directed to cross at Aqueduct Bridge, halting in front of Fort Corcoran until I can send a staff officer to select a camping-ground.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

G. A. DE RUSSY,

Brigadier-General, Commanding.

CAMP NEAR CEDAR CREEK, May 23, 1864.

(Received 8.33 a.m. 24th.)

Honorable E. M. STANTON,

Secretary of War:

Major-General Sigel, actuated by an earnest patriotism, was anxious to take a division in this army or attend to any other duty. Upon consultation with him I have deemed it best to place him in command of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the reserve troops in that region. I have ordered General Kelley and General Weber to report to General Sigel, and to be subject to his command.

D. HUNTER,

Major-General, Commanding.
