d a force sufficiently strong to overcome all the Confederate forces in Mississippi, even if they should be concentrated against either of the three columns moving. General A. J. Smith, with three divisions of infantry and thirty-eight pieces of artillery, numbering all told little more than 20,000 men, besides a brigade of cavalry 3,700 strong, after repairing the old Mississipi Central Railroad from Grand Junction to the Tallahatchie river, moved to that point, near the little town of Waterford, which is some fifteen miles north of Oxford. General Chalmers was instructed to impress every able-bodied negro in the country, fortify the south bank of the river and make the best possible defense against the enemy's effort to cross, but, if forced back, to destroy the bridges along the railroad as he retired.

Chalmers, who commanded it, had well employed his time since his chief had left him on the line of the Tallahatchie. On the 23d of March the latter had sent him from Jackson orders to advance in his turn. McCulloch's brigade was to halt at Waterford, south of Holly Springs, and to occupy the country situated south of the Charleston Railroad, while Neely should penetrate into Tennessee and establish himself at Brownsville. They could thus observe the movements of the Memphis garrison. Hurlbut, who had about four thousand infantry in this town, with good reason did not wish to rush them at the heels of Forrest, but as soon as he knew that the latter had passed the frontier of Tennessee, on returning in haste from Cairo, where he happe
