4 gard to the crossings Of the river, soztha
should we be repulsed on the South side
we will know where to recross at the near
est. points. All mills must be burned, and
d the canal destroyed; !; and also everything
which can be used by e.rebels must be
destroyed, including the boats on the river
Should ferryboat be- seized, and can be
.d worked, have it moved down. Keep the
j. force on the south side posted Of any impor.
tant movement of the enemy, and in case o.
! danger some Of the scouts must swim the
river and bring us information. As We ap
proaoh the city, the party; must take great
care that they do not get ahead of the
other. party on the South side, and must
conceal themselves and watch our move
ments. We will try and, secure the bridge
to the city Gone mile below Belle Isle), and
release the prisoners at The same time. II
we do not succeed, they must then dash
down, and we will fry and carry the. bridge
from each side. When necessary, the men
must be filed through the woods, and along
the river bank. The bridges once secured,
and the prisoners loose and over the river,
4 the bridges will be secured and the city
! destroyed. The men must be kept togeth.
er and wen in hand, and once in the city,
it must. be destroyed, and Jeff Dayis and
/ Cabinet killed.
"Pioneers will go along with combustible
material. The officer must use his discre-
ton about the, timeof assisting US. Horses
and cattle, which We do;not need immedi-
ately, must be shat rather than left Eve.
rything on the Canal and elsewhere, of ser.
vice to the rebels, mast be destroyed. As
Gen. Custer may follow me, be careful not
to give false alarm. -
"The signal officer must be prepared. to
Communicate at night by rockets, and other
things pertaining to his department.
"The quartermaster and commissaries
must be on the look out for their depart
ments, and see that there are no delays on
their account.
"The engineer officer will follow to sur
| yey the road as we pass over It, &c. :
aThe pioneers must be prepared to CON.
struot q bridge or destroy one. They must
have plenty of.oakum and turpentine for
burning, which will be rolled ili soaked
balls, and given to the men to burn when
we get in the city, Torpedoes will only be
used by the pioneers for destroying the main
bridges, &c. They must be prepared to
destroy railroads. Men will branch off to
the right with a few pioneers, and destroy
the bridges and railroads south Of Rich;
mond, and then join us at the city. They
must be we'll prepared with torpedoes, &C.
The line of Falling creek is probably the
best to work along, or as they approach fhe
city, Goodies creek !; SO that no reinforce
ments can come up on any cars No one
must be allowed to pass ahead for fear Of
communicating news. Rejoin the command
with all haste, and, if cut of, cross the
river above Richmond and rejoin us. Men
will stop at Bellona Arsenal and totally dess
troy it, and anything else but hospitals, then
follow on and rejoin the command at Rich.
