o time to lose. We only await our train and the capture of the forces at Cumberland Gap, both of which we hope to hear from very soon. Our prospects were never more encouraging. Most respectfully and truly yours, Braxton Bragg. General Breckinridge was eager to go into Kentucky, but said that even if Van Dorn would give his consent he would not voluntarily leave his men in the condition they were, and so advised General Bragg, urging that he be permitted to take with him his Kentucky service as can be spared for the purpose with a due regard to other exigencies and interests, should be temporarily withdrawn from other duty and attached to the army entering that State. We would therefore respectfully suggest that Major-General Breckinridge, with his division generals, Buckner and Marshall, be sent to Kentucky. We have the honor to be very respectfully, Your obedient servants, John W. Crockett, Geo. W. Ewing, H. C. Burnett, R. J. Breckinridge, E. M. Bruce, Henry
