They will then press forward toward York River Railroad, closing upon the enemy's rear and forcing him down the Chickahominy.

Any advance of the enemy toward Richmond will be prevented by vigorously following his rear, and crippling and arresting his progress.
II.

The divisions under Generals Huger and Magruder will hold their positions in front of the enemy against attack, and make such demonstrations, Thursday, as to discover his operations.

Should opportunity offer, the feint will be converted into a real attack; and, should an abandonment of his intrenchments by the enemy be discovered, he will be closely pursued.
III.

The Third Virginia cavalry will observe the Charles City road.
The Fifth Virginia, the First North Carolina, and the Hampton Legion cavalry will observe the Darbytown, Varina, and Osborne roads.
