The brigade will move at 3 a.m., in as quiet a manner as possible, to the point on the right of the pike where General Ayres formed his column of attack yesterday morning. The brigade will form a column of attack composed of three lines, and will be ready to attack from the point indicated at 5 a.m., in accordance with a general plan for the attack of the whole army. Everything in the army is to be pushed forward at that hour, and it is expected that every officer and man will do his duty.
