Dela6eld, of the Engineers, Major Alfred
Mordecai, Of The Ordnance, and Capt. Geo
B. McClelland of the Cavalry, on special
duty, to proceed to sebastopol, to inspect
the works there and view the operations Of
the war. They are dered to depart as
soon as possible. WAdare say they will
have opportunities Of seeing much that is
new in the business af arms, and of bring

neutral position, and we advise them tc
leave all private letters Of introduction and

By this means we do not doubt they will be
