This will make your force about 14,000 infantry, 275 cavalry, and 580 artillery: total, 15,255 men. The commanding General of the Department of Key West is authorized to loan you, temporarily, two regiments; Fort Pickens can probably give you another, which will bring your force to nearly 18,000. The object of your expedition one of vital importance — the capture of New Orleans.--The route selected is up the Mississippi river, and the first obstacle to be encountered, perhaps the only one, is in the resistance offered by Forts St. Philip and Jackson. It is expected that the navy can reduce the works. In that case you will, after their capture, leave a sufficient garrison in them to render them perfect
