6.-REPORT OF MAJ. GEN. W. S. HANCOCK.

HIEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF TIIE ATLANTIC,
GOVERNOR'S ISLAND, NEW YORK HARBOR,

October 23, 1878. SIR: In obedience to the instructions contained in your letter of the 13th ultimo, I have the honor to submit, for information of the General of the Army, the following report of operations within the Military Division of the Atlantic during the past year:

The geographical limits of the division remain the same as last year; but some changes in its departmental organization have been made. By General Orders No. 101, of November 8, 1877, from Headquarters of the Army, the Department of the East was constituted, embracing that portion of the division which at date of last report had no departmental organization, but over which I exercised the functions of a department commander. The order merely corrected an informality and made no material change in my duties or power. By General Orders No. 38, of June 21, 1878, Headquarters of the Army, the Departments of the Gulf and South were consolidated under the name of the Department of the South, and Brig. Gen. C. C. Augur assigned to command with headquar. ters at Newport Barracks, Kentucky.

The division, therefore, at this date is divided into two military departments, viz: Department of the East, commanded by me in addition to my duty as commander of the Division of the Atlantic, and Department of the South, commanded by Brigadier-General Augur.

In compliance with existing orders requiring division and department commanders to visit the posts embraced within the limits of their command as soon as practicable after their assignment thereto, I made application in the early part of January, 1878, to the General of the Army for his approval of an intended tour of inspection by me to the posts in the Departments of the South and Gulf, the former commanded by Brig. Gen. Thomas H. Ruger, headquarters at Atlanta, Ga., and the latter by Brig. Gen. C. C. Augur, headquarters at New Orleans, La. (The Department of the Gulf had been added to the Division of the Atlantic by General Orders No. 23, of May 3, 1877, from the Headquarters of the Army.)

My application received the sanction of the General of the Army, and, accordingly, on the 19th of January, 1878, I left New York to make the proposed inspection. Some of the posts in these departments had been visited by me in former years, others of them I had not seen.

My inspections commenced in the Department of the Gulf, at Key West Barracks, and Fort Taylor, Key West, Fla., and embraced Fort Jefferson (Dry Tortugas), and all other posts in that command, terminating at Little Rock, Ark.

During my tour I also visited the “jetties” at the mouth of the South Pass, Mississippi River, where I was offered an opportunity to make an examination of that great work.

Upon concluding my inspections in the Department of the Gulf, at Little Rock, Ark., I entered the Department of the South, and visited and inspected the posts at Chattanooga, Tenn., and McPherson Barracks, Atlanta, Ga.; then proceeding to the Atlantic coast, at Brunswick, Ga., I turned south to Fort Marion and Saint Francis Barracks, Saint Augustine, Fla., and, returning north from that point, inspected Oglethorpe Barracks, Savannah, Ga., and Forts Jackson and Pulaski, on the Savannah River below that city. My original intention when starting on this
