u will proceed on the basis adopted. Further instructions will be given as to the details of negotiation and the method of executing the terms of agreement when notified by you of the readiness on the part of the General Commanding the United States forces to proceed with the arrangement. Jefferson Davis. Official: M. H. Clark, Chief Clerk Executive Office. Charlotte, N. C., April 24, 1865. General J. E. Johnston, Greensboroa, N. C. The President has written a telegram approving your action and the agreement of the 18th instant. I presume you have or will receive it to-day. John C. Breckinridge, Secretary of War. Charlotte, N. C, 24th April, 1865. General B. Bragg, Charleston, S. C.: I hope even the small force with you will be effective in preventing those irregularities to which I suppose you refer, and that your presence will secure good administration, now so important in the care and transportation of supplies. I expect to join you in a few days. Jefferson Davis.

by, I dispatched an officer of known skill and daring to communicate with him, directing that he should unite himself with the rest of the command at once. On the 18th I arrived at a point on White river, eighteen miles above Batesville, and received information that Brigadier-General Shelby was at Powhatan, about sixty-four mileitants; in fact, the whole country presented but a scene of desolation. Upon arriving at Pocahontas I proceeded to organize the army, which was completed on the 18th, as follows: Fagan's division, commanded by Major-General J. F. Fagan, composed of Brigadier-General W. L. Cabell's brigade, Colonel Slemmons', Colonel McCroy'sormation that the enemy (Kansas troops) had entered Lexington on the 16th. On the 17th I also received news of the capture of Sedalia by General Thompson. On the 18th, having been joined by Shelby's division and Clark's brigade of Marmaduke's division, I marched to Waverly, twenty-two miles. On leaving Pocahontas I had sent a

d fled in confusion, pursued by General Stuart nearly to Haymarket and by General Lee to Gainesville. Here the Federal infantry was encountered, and after capturing a number of them during the night, the cavalry slowly retired before their advance on the following day. When the movement of the army from the Rapidan commenced, General Imboden was instructed to advance down the Valley and guard the gaps of the mountains on our left. This duty was well performed by that officer, and on the 18th instant he marched upon Charlestown and succeeded, by a well concerted plan, in surrounding the place and capturing nearly the whole force stationed there, with all their stores and transportation; only a few escaped to Harper's Ferry. The enemy advanced from that place in superior numbers to attack General Imboden, who retired, bringing off his prisoners and captured property — his command suffering very little loss, and inflicting some damage upon the pursuing columns. In the course of these

Forrest, was when he ran out of his bedroom in Memphis, in light marching order, leaving his uniform behind, which Forrest captured and afterward restored to him. Washburn, in return, sent to Forrest some gray cloth, gold lace and trimmings to make him a Confederate uniform. General Smith moved slowly, repairing the railroad from Grand Junction to Abbeville as he came. On the 8th of August Forrest again took the field in a buggy, though still suffering severely from his wound. On the 18th the enemy had completed the railroad to Abbeville, thrown a pontoon bridge across the Tallahatchie river at that place, and commenced his movement on Oxford. Feeling unable to contend with A. J. Smith, with his largely superior command, he determined to make a counter movement on Memphis with onehalf of his command, leaving the other half under his first division commander — the whole force not then exceeding four thousand effective. He conceived this idea on the morning of the 18th of Augu

Richmond as the objective point. On the 17th of November his advance, Sumner's column, 33,000 strong, arrived in front of Fredericksburg. Had his pontoons arrived, Burnside says, Sumner would have crossed at once over a bridge in front of a city filled with families of Rebel officers and sympathizers of the Rebel cause, and garrisoned by a small squadron of cavalry and a battery of artillery. On the 15th, General Lee learned that transports and gunboats had arrived at Acquia creek. On the 18th Stuart, forcing his way across the Rappahannock at the Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, in the face of cavalry and artillery, made a reconnoissance as far as Warrenton, reaching there just after the rear of the Federal column had left. His report satisfied General Lee that the whole Federal army had gone to Fredericksburg. He had previously been informed as to Sumner's march. McLaws' and Ransom's divisions, accompanied by Lane's battery of artillery and W. H. F. Lee's brigade of cavalry, we
