Field-reconnoitring, if to be of practical usefulness, must be replete with results--stern, dry results--and contain as few digressions or embellishments as possible. The general's object being to learn if such a road can be taken, such a stream bridged, if this or that position is propitious for an offensive or defensive purpose, that of the reconnoitrer is to send in short and intelligent information. He who fills up a whole sheet, where half or even a quarter of a one would suffice, bores his commander with just so much waste-paper. Staff-officers are invariably intrusted with all important reconnoitring, which constitutes the most essential part of their vocation. Therefore, to be the more carefully studied, these jottings, consequently, are not addressed to them--but to officers and engineers, who have had hitherto no opportunities to make reconnoitring a specialty, but who, neverth...
