He reports that with every effort he will not be able to have more than 120 men in serviceable condition by to-night. Do you wish the regiment sent to Bealeton, or have you

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac, Camp Near Falmouth, Va., June 8, 1863. Commanding Officer First Corps:

General Sedgwick has so much on his hands with his duties over the river, that it is desired you should relieve his picket line. The main object of his picket line is to prevent any passage in or out of the lines, stop deserters, and give notice of any movements. Relieve him to-day, if possible, and with a force sufficient for this purpose. He may possibly relieve some portions of your line in the vicinity of the bridges. This ought to be reduced somewhat from its former strength by the presence of the Sixth Corps opposite.

Very respectfully, &c.,
