Second— The following arrangements are made
to catry out the provisions of the loregoingorder:
The 2d, sth aud Gth Army Corps will each be con
solidated into two Divisions.
The Ist and 2d Divisions of the 3d Corps are
transferred to the 2d Corps, preserving their
badges and distinctive ma> ks.
The 3d Division of the 3d Corps is transferred
permanently to the 6th Corps.
The three Divisions now forming the Ist Corps
are transfened to the sth Corps, preserving their
badges and distinctive marks, and on joining the
slh Corps they will be consolidated into two divi
sions The commanders of divisions transferred
to the 2d, sth and 6th Corps will ai once report to
the commanders of these corp< for instructions.
Brigadier-General J. B. Carr will report to
Mjijor-General Hancock, commanding 21 Corps,
and Brieadier-General H. Prince to Major-General
Sedgwick, commanding the 6th Corps.
The Chief of Artillery will assign eight batteries
each to the 2d, sth and 6th Corps, batteries to
be taken from those now with these corps and witn
the Ist and 3d Corps. The batteries with the seve
ral corps in excess of the above allowance will

quarters.
Special instructions will be given hereafter with
respect to the 6taffofficers ol the two corps tempo
rarily broken up.
Third. The Major-General Commanding avails
himself of this occasion to say, tnat in view of the
reduced strength of nearly all the regiments serv
ing in this army, the temporary redaction of the
Army Corps to three is a measure imperatively
demanded by the best interests of the service,
and that the reasons for attaching the Ist and 31
Corps, for the tim« being, toother corps, were in
no respect founded upon any supposed inferiority
of those corps to o the other corps of this army.
* All the coips have equaily proved their valor on
many fields, and all have equal claims to the con
fidence of the government and of the country.
The lit and 3d Corps will retain tneir badges and
distinction marks, and! the Major-General Com
manding indulges the hope that* tbe ranks of the
army will be filled at an early day, so that those
corps can again he reorganized. By command of
[ M a j or-General Meade.

THE LATE BATTLE IN LOUISIANA.
Fort De Hussey, Bed River, La., March 15,
via Cairo. March 24—This fort was captared to
day by the United States forces under General A.
J. Smith. The expedition left Vicksburg on the
10th, and landed at Summersport, La., on the
13th, marched to Bayou Glace, where General
Scurries’s rebel brigade had been encamped, but
which fled on the approach of our transports,
leaving considerable camp equipage and commis
sary stores.
Gen. Smith pressed forward to Yellow Bayou,
where strong fortifications had been erected by the
rebe s, who again fled as we came up. They were
persued and some"skirmishing occurred, resultiug
in the capture of several prisoners and a small
wagontr<un. Atdaylightyesterday the entire com
mand started for Fort De Rnssey, twenty-eight
miles distant, and at four o’clock P. M., the 3d
and 9th In* iana batteries opened on the fort, which
replied vigorously with three of it 3 heaviest gans.
The cannonade was continued an hour, when
Gen. Smith ordered the Ist and 2d Illinois, ofthe
16th Corps, under Gen. Mower, to charge the
enemy’s rifle-pits and storm the fort.
The 58th, 119th and 89tn Indiana and 24th
Missouri regiments charged over deep ditches and
then abattis amid a galling fire, and within twenty
minutes after the order was issued a color sergeant
of the sSth Illinois planted the American flag upon
the enemy’s works. The victory was complete,
and resulted in the capture of 325 prisoners, in
eluding twenty.four commissioned officers, two
9-inch Dahlgren guns, two 4-pounders, four 32
pounders, two 6-pounders, a lot of small arms,
two thousand barrels of fine powder an immense
quantity of assorted ammunition, and §L7,OQO
worth of commissary stores.
Fort De Bussey is a most formidable work o'
quadrangular sbape, and bastions and bomb
proofs covered with railroad iron. A powerful
water battery connects with the fort, the case
mates of which are capable of resisting shot and
shell of tte heaviest calibre. The position ofthe
guns was capital for rapid and effective fire on all
boats attempting to pass up or down the river
About 800 negroes were employed for a year in con
structing the earthworks.
General Smith will superintend the thorough de
struction of the fortifications. It will take three
thousand men two or three days to destroy tbe
works. Glorious news may he expected from
rrv nera^s ® an^ts and Smith within two weeks.
Their designs, strength and position are contra
band at present. Amongst the artillery captured
are two guns belonging to the schooner Morning
Light, two rifle guns from the Harriet Lane cap
tured last spring off Sabine Pass, and one heavy
gnu lrom the Indianola, sunk in the Mississippi
lastyearby the rebel ram Webb.
The rebelsboast that their iron-plated ram Mis
souri, no this river,’ can sink any gunboat in
our navy. The Webb and-Mary Janeare also con
mdered impregnable to any of our flotilla. Admiral
Porter hiiß been busily engaged for the past three
days in removing obstructions in the Re A river, con
sisting of rafts; and piles driven into thQ’ channel
Transports are now going np the river without in
terrupfiou.

A CAMP OF 400 REBEL DESERTERS IN
FLORIDA.
A letter dated Lake City, Florida, Feb. 15th, to
the Charleston Courier , contains the following:
* ‘ Some thirty miles from Tallahassee we have a
large swamp, and I am correctly informed that
there is about 400 deserters nicelv located in it.
They have been committing some nuisances and
depredations on the neighboring farms. Brigadier-
General Garoener dispatched two companies of
infantry to arrest the parties, but on going into the
swamp, to their place of abode, where our troops
demanded a surrender, they .were astonished to
find them well supplied with arms and ammuni
tion, and a brisk fight took place. Our troops
were driven back with heavy loss and some taken
prisoners. The deserters had the impudence to
parole our men. From this athlir we ordained the
lollowing fact: That they received about iwo
thousand pounds of ammunition from the enemy
blockading, together with most of their bread and
clothing, and that they have been all supplied with
Enfield Rifles from the same source, and were id

THE krJfi'i'iYSßUlltr BATTLE*
FIELD .MEMORIAL.
AN APPEAL
TO LOYAL PENNSYLYAHIANS.
The BATTLE-FIELD ME
MORIAL ASSOpIAT lON* * was instituted for the
purpose of securing, forever, the principal paints
upon the great bat le-fleldof the war, m the exact
condition in which they were left in J uiy, 1863,
when the rebel hordes of the invader Leb were
driven Back from the free soil of Pennsylvania,
and when the gallant soldiers of Gehbkal Meads
remained in possession of the field which they had
won by their vaior. The Association have.already
secured the puicnase of Cemetebj Hill, Culp s
Hill, Gkanitbspub arid Round t op, with the
entrenchments thrown up just upon the eve of the
great conflict which was the taming point in the
career of the rebellion. The field, with its redoubts,
wonderful stone defences, its timber breast-vi orks,
itsforest heights, with the trees tom by Bhells and
countless bullets, aud its long lines of earthwork
defences, have all been preserved Intact, and tosa
continue to preserve them, as to he a monument
forever of the greatest of American Battle-fields,
is the object of the formation of the Association.
To enable a large number of persons to join In thi s
patriotic' work, the projectors of the plan placed •
the subscriptions at ten dollars each. The payment
of this sum HAKES- BACK BUB3CBIBEB A MBAIBBB
oftm association, and PABT OWNER OP THB
glob-ous Fielu op Gettysburg. .
What Loyal and Patriotic Citizen of Pennsylva
nia would not gladly embrace the privilege of re
cording hie name upon this ro l of honor, and of
linking himself directly with the field where the
lofty heroism of his countrymen vindicated the
integrity of the Union and the principles of Free
dom 7 And who would not deslreto hand down as
a precious heir-loom to his children the evidence
of his part in the good work, bearing, as the certi
ficate will, a view ol the field which will rank In
hi-tory with Thkrmoptlm, Mauathgn and Wa-
TEBLOOI
There are no salaried officers In this Association,
noi are there any objects in view in Its creation
other than those already stated. The grounds were
pnrchsse'd from their original owners at the exac
price to be paid for them by the Association, ana
the points selected, and the prices to be paid for
them, met the unqualified approval of a commute*
of the Historical - ociety of Pennsylvania
appointed for the purpose of visiting the field.
The following are the names of the general offi
cers of the Assoi lation, and of the Local Com
mittee In Philadelphia:
