December 18.
My command moved across the river and proceeded about three miles beyond Franklin, on the road to Spring Hill, when, in obedience to orders, I returned with my troops to Franklin and marched to Murfreesboro, to proceed by rail to Decatur, moving General Cruft's troops from Nashville by the Murfreesboro pike.
The whole command was concentrated at Murfreesboro, on the evening of the twentieth.
At Murfreesboro I received despatches from Colonel A. J. McKay, Chief Quartermaster of the Department, informing me that the transportation necessary to move my command by rail to Decatur, was on the way from Chattanooga, and transports conveying supplies would meet me at such point as I might designate.
These orders and dispositions of Colonel McKay were all perfect, but the severe cold weather, the injuries to the road, and the criminal negligence, incompetency, and indifference of a portion of the railroad employs, occasioned serious delays.
On the morning of the twenty-

Cambridge water-works. Hon. Chester W. Kingsley.
I propose to give a history of the beginning and progress of the chartered water-works in Cambridge.
The facts, new to many, and perhaps not altogether uninteresting on an occasion like this, will thus be recorded for future reference.
The first charter was granted to the Cambridgeport Aqueduct Company in April, 1837, to bring the water from a spring or springs on what is now Spring Hill in Somerville.
The water was brought in wooden logs, and a limited amount was supplied in the lower Port for many years.
In 1852, a charter was granted the Cambridge Water-Works, and in 1856, the corporation was authorized to take the water of Fresh Pond.
Here our present water-works began.
In 1861, the Cambridge Water-Works was empowered to buy out the Aqueduct Company, which it did, and the city of Cambridge in April, 1865, was permittted to buy and acquire the rights of both of these companies, which was done by vote of the city, an
