ORDERS.] HDQRS. FIRST DIVISION, TENTH ARMY CORPS,

In the Field, near Curtis', Va., June 13, 1864.

Brigadier General Alfred H. Terry re-assumes command of this division. The Army of the Potomac is on the way to join us, and the enemy have it in their power to throw their whole force upon this point. The rebel gun-boats have appeared in the river, and it becomes necessary to use the utmost precaution against an attack. The whole command will at once be put under arms, every battery hitched up, and the earth-works manned at once. The information in regard to the Army of the Potomac is confidential.

By order of Brigadier General Alfred H. Terry:

ADRIAN TERRY,

Assistant Adjutant-General.

Very respectfully, &c.,

P. A. DAVIS,

Captain and Assistant Adjutant-General.
