There is something singular about this Or
der. If Gen. Gregg did not receive some
Instructions from Department bead quarter,
is IL probable that he would have modified
his orders ? An officer Of decision, and sta
bility, ike Gen. Gregg, is not apt to change

previous declarations; and they are at at a loss
