Lieut. S. Herbert Lancey, of Gen Casey's
staff has just returned from continued and
thorough reconnaissance Of the country beyond
the lines from Manassas to Occoquan. The
cavalry engaged in this reconnaissance was Ger.
Sigel's body guard, commanded by Captain
Sharra
The reconnaissance showed that the Confed-
crates had made this section Of the country a.
stronghold for Defence but it is now entirely
free from any of their troops Or scouts. The
Confederate cavalry, however, in small squads,
are said still to be in the region above Manas.

The condition Of families through the differ

On the battle field you have routed, shat

turning from their camps, to surrender
themselves as prisoners, which. they would
never do, if they were not convinced that
we could forgive the penitent-
The profound quiet and peace that pre-
walls now, where, three months ago all was
disorder and terror, are due Rrst TO your
courage in bsttle, and secondly TO oursclem-
eucy to the vanquished.
The good discipline now maintained is
highly honorable to you individually, as
well az to your officers.
While the Infantry and Artillery bave
done their whole duty, under all circum-
stances, justice compels me to call special
attention to the efficient service of the First

This regiment has suffered severely ia

of South Eastern Missouri, IN. every direc-
ton, IN pursuit Of rebel bands, and for the
protection of loyal citizens. Day after day
night after night, through Sunshine and
