Major-General CANBY,

Mississippi River, via Cairo, Ill.:

The Wisconsin 100-days' regiments are ordered to Memphis, and those from Iowa to Helena, for such disposition as you deem best. Your attention is respectfully called to the necessity of dismounting poor cavalry regiments, so as to completely remount the better ones. It will not be possible to supply them all with remounts. Your attention is also called to reuniting regiments the companies of which have been separated.
