The command will march at 6 a. m. to-morrow, General Ames' divis-

remaining battalion the rear guard. No transportation other than
that issued by the quartermaster's department will be allowed to pre-
cede any of the wagons of the train, all carts, buggies, and captured
wagons following the regular army transportation.

HEADQUARTERS PROVISIONAL CORPS,
Near Cox's Bridge, N. C., March 24,1865.
Bvt. Maj. Gen. A. AMES,
Commanding Second Division, Twenty-fourth Army Corps:
GENERAL: I am directed by the major-general commanding to
inform you that he has gone to Goldsborough to see the department
commander, and that the command of the troops devolves upon you
during his absence. General Paine has been notified that such is the
case. General Terry expects to return this afternoon.
I have the honor to be, general, very respectfully, your obedient
servant.
A. TERRY,
Major and Assistant Adjutant-General.
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF WILMINGTON,
Wilmington, N. C., March 24, 1865.
Mr. B. M. RICHARDSON,
Brunswick County :
SIR: I learn that there are many people of BrunswickBladen, Colum-
bus, and adjoining counties, who desire to protect themselves against
guerrillas or stray Confederate forces. Some of these men have been in
the Confederate service. By all means let them defend themselves
and their homes. If these citizens desire to sustain the old Union
they have our sympathy and shall have our aid, so far as our active
duties elsewhere will permit. They will do their counties and State
and the Union good service if they will 'keep that region clear of Con.
federate forces and inform us of their approach. They may organize
as much as they choose for mutual protection. Should they at any
time be hard pushed let them make their way to our lines and they
shall be welcome. You know that if deserters from Confederate serv-
ice come within our lines and take the oath they will be paid for the
arms and equipments they bring, and then can have free passage and
rations to any point within our lines, but I cannot, under my orders,
permit them after coming in to run outside of our lines again.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOS. R. HAWLEY,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
