Grant is directly giving orders to Burnside because Burnside actually outranked Meade in terms of seniority as a Major General, and the IX corps was not officially part of the AotP.
The AotP takes the brunt over the IX corps because the pecking order of which Grant/meade trusted the corps commanders, and Burnside was at the bottom of the list.
