Washington and Parachifta, in observation of the enemy, about five thousand strong, at Fort Smith, and guarding the approaches east of the Arkansas line, while General Maxcy with two brigades of cavalry, watched those leading through the Indian Territory to North Texas. On the twenty-third March, Steele moved out from Little Rock rchidelphia about the thirty-first. General Cabell was ordered to join Marmaduke. The cavalry was in two divisions, one under Marmaduke, and one under Fagan. General Maxcy was ordered with all his force, except such as was needed to prevent small raids, to hold himself at Logansport, in the extreme south-east corner of Indian Ter of the Washita, for the purpose of cutting off the enemy's supplies in Little Rock and Pine Bluff. Neither direction was followed. On the eighteenth April, Generals Maxcy and Marmaduke fought the enemy — a forage party of about two thousand five hundred strong — at Poison Spring, twelve miles from Camden, dispersing the whole f

ade good the landing of his army, occupied Grand Gulf, and was marching upon the Jackson and Vicksburg Railroad. On reaching Jackson, Gen. Johnston found there the brigades of Gregg and Walker, reported at six thousand; learned from Gregg that Maxcy's brigade was expected to arrive from Port Hudson the next day; that Gen. Pemberton's forces, except the garrison of Port Hudson (five thousand) and of Vicksburg, were at Edwards's Depot — the General's headquarters at Bovina; that four divisionsd Clinton, ten miles west of Jackson, between Edwards's Depot and ourselves. Gen. Johnston was aware that reinforcements were on their way from the East, and that the advance of those under Gen. Gist would probably arrive the next day, and with Maxcy's brigade, swell his force to about eleven thousand. Upon this information he sent to Gen. Pemberton a despatch, informing him of his arrival, and of the occupation of Clinton by a portion of Grant's army, urging the importance of re-establish

n his subordinate. When Johnston reached Jackson, he found a force there, reported at six thousand men, part of which had been driven from Raymond the day before; Maxcy, with a brigade from the south, was expected on the 14th, as well as other reenforcements under Gist, so that Johnston estimated his whole available force would amto the ground. On the 14th, Johnston marched six miles on the Canton road, and then went into camp. He sent Gist forty or fifty miles to the east, and ordered Maxcy to return to his wagons and provide for the security of his brigade, for instance, by joining Gist. It was hoped thus to prevent Grant from drawing supplies from Telegrams were dispatched when the enemy was near, directing General Gist to assemble the approaching troops at a point forty or fifty miles from Jackson, and General Maxcy to return to his wagons, and provide for the security of his brigade — for instance, by joining General Gist. That body of troops will be able, I hope, to pre

d the situation of their forces. Major-General Breckinridge command the advanced infantry force of the rebels. This division of Bragg's army did not penetrate into Kentucky, but remained in front of Nashville, operating under General Anderson, Breckinridge in person being for a short time in Kentucky, lending his influence to induce Kentucky to secede. It is said that he became disgusted and returned to Tennessee.--His division is about 5,000 strong. Among the brigades is that of General Maxcy, which figured in Buell's rear when evacuating North Alabama, and which fought at Stevenson and Fort McCook in August last. This division is abundantly supplied with artillery, there being six batteries with it. 'No works have been built at Murfreesboro' of a formidable character, unless they have been projected and constructed within the past week. The main rebel army is encamped at Tullahoma and Estell Springs. The former point is at the junction of the Manchester and McMinnvill
