Cavalry operations in North Alabama.--report of General S. D. Lee. Headquarters Crane Creek, (ten miles West of Tuscumbia), October 30th, 1863, 7:30 A. M. Colonel,--I have the honor to report for the information of the General, that my command attacked the enemy at day-light yesterday morning, and after a brisk skirmish, I discovered that the enemy were in force at their camp near Cherokee Station. Their tents were standing, and my scouts could see no movement indicating breaking up of their camp. My scouts report, and I consider it perfectly reliable, that about a division of the enemy have crossed at Eastport, and last evening their advance was in a few miles of Florence. Two steamers and flat boats were at Eastport crossing troops. There is but little doubt now that a column of the enemy will march north of the Tennessee via Florence and Huntsville. I am in doubt whether the entire force will go by that route. Will inform you as soon as reliable information is receiv

The negative vote was given by Isaac Murphy, who was the Union governor of Arkansas in 1864. Meanwhile the State authorities had seized the national property in the State. During almost the whole period of the war, National or Confederate troops occupied the State; and one of the most hotly contested battles of the war was fought on its soil (see Pea Ridge). On Oct. 30, 1863, a meeting of loyal citizens, representing about twenty counties, was held at Fort Smith, to take measures for reorganizing the State government. In January following, a convention, composed of representatives of State seal of Arkansas. forty-two counties, assembled at Little Rock, and framed a loyal constitution, which was ratified by the people in March, 1864. Members of the legislature were elected, and in April a State government was organized. In 1867 military rule was establis

lways is, very considerate and kind. He found no fault with my operations, although it was very evident he was disappointed that I had not got a battle out of Lee. He coincided with me that there was not much to be gained by any farther advance; but General Halleck was very urgent that something should be done, but what that something was he did not define. As the Secretary of War was absent in Tennessee, final action was postponed till his return. Headquarters army of the Potomac, October 30, 1863. You seem to be very much puzzled about my retreat, as you misname it. It was not a retreat, but a withdrawal of the army—manoeuvring to get into a proper position to offer battle, and made to prevent Lee from compelling me to fight at a disadvantage. Had I been able to ascertain his movements, I would have given him battle the day Warren was attacked; but I was misled by information which induced me to believe he was farther ahead. As it afterwards turned out, I was ahead of him;
