from General Hood in the Richmond paper of to-day stating that Major-
General Stoneman and 500 men were captured at Macon, Ga., by General
Iverson. I sent a Richmond paper of yesterday to corps headquarters
this morning.

Major-General ORD,
Commanding Eighteenth Army Corps :
GENERAL: As your negro troops have had a pretty hard time of serv-
ice for fresh hands, I propose that General Paine shall send you from
the troops on this line an equal number with what you have now, re-
turning those you have here, for the purpose of reorganization and
recruitment. I hope you can so manage it as to put a brigade together
and give them a defined portion of the line to hold, so that upon them
and their officers may be a responsibility which all may feel. It will be
much for the advantage of the service, in my judgment, if these colored
troops are kept together, and as soon as we can get them fairly re-
organized and a little recruited we will have a division together.

Major-General MEADE:
I have not received General Turner's report of the affair of Saturday.
As soon as I do I will send in mine to you. I do not believe in the
mine, but do not wish to be surprised, hence my precautions.
