commencing the march, and informed me that my division was to be supported on the right by General Van Dorn with his forces, among others, comprising General Price's division, and that he had been intery. These guns were brought into the action about half a mile from the town and before General Van Dorn notified his arrival, and with design of bringing on an engagement with the enemy's advance, to hold it upon the field, and to gain time for General Van Dorn to advance to my support on my right.

The railroad could have put them in Panola. in two days--three days marching would have put them in Memphis; and, with the Mississippi river in our possession at Memphis. and Port Hudson, Grant would have starved sooner than Pemberton.
