Dodge's. These brigades and battery to remain in position until the whole line is withdrawn from the immediate front of the enemy, and passed through to the rear, skirmishers and pickets included.

Third. These dispositions being made, the movement will commence on the right and proceed around to the left successively, and the commands will move off and take up the positions assigned them under direction of proper staff officers. The pickets are not to be withdrawn until the whole column has about passed the position taken by the reserve brigade. When the pickets come in the reserve brigade will move off the route taken by their respective divisions. The whole movement must be conducted quietly and with the least possible noise, and the troops kept well closed up to avoid confusion or mistake.
