The other divisions of the army are repairing the railroad to Decatur, Memphis, and Columbus but can be immediately brought into position if required. It is believed that the enemy is making a demonstration merely to cover his retreat. H. W. Hallec commanding officer of the cavalry on and near the Tennessee River will, if compelled by the enemy to fall back, move in the direction of Tuscaloosa, Ala., or Columbus, Miss. III. The commanding officer of cavalry at or near Rienzi will follow the movements of the army when it passes Rienzi with his entire force. IV.

ch attacked and drove in our pickets. Our work must have been discovered by them, and it would be charging them with gross stupidity not to suppose our plan betrayed; besides, on Friday morning a heavy rain set in, which of itself would have rendered a delay of at least two days necessary in the prosecution of our work. In the mean time rumors were reaching me of the concentration of a strong rebel force in the vicinity of Trenton, for the object, it was reported, of attacking Hickman and Columbus. As these rumors were confirmed by the refugees from the conscription, and as I saw no good that could be accomplished by remaining longer at the flotilla, I started back with my command on Friday afternoon, and the troops are now distributed in the district as they were before the expedition sailed.

about to abandon the fort you will telegraph the commanding officer at Memphis to burn all the cotton, sugar, &c., in the vicinity of that city, as per my instructions already communicated to him. Yoi will necessarily destroy all Government property-arms, guns, &c.-that you will not be able to carry off with you; and on arriving at Grenada you will assume immediate command of all troops there assembled, to organize and discipline them. Arms will be furnished you from the depot at Columbus, Miss., should there be any there.

I have thought it advisable to give you the above instructions in view of the probability that I may not be able shortly to communicate with you. Hoping you may continue to meet with success in the defense of our cause and country, I remain, respectfully, your obedient servant, G. T. Beauregard, Gener
