The proposed order for the 1st. of Augst. is approved.

It being desireable that the testimony called for by Gen: Gaines, be procured in all the extent practicable, It may be proper to apprize Gen: Smith of the destination of Genl. Ripley, and to order his attendance with that of Capt: Ship if the service in that quarter will permit.
