For the present, do not move the regiment from Fort Henry. The men are accustomed to the guns. New ones might not be so efficient. A dispatch from Colonel Mackall to Major-General Polk, Columbus, Kentucky, October 28th, says: General Johnston directs me to say that he wishes you to keep a vigilant eye on the Tenneg the 4th and 5th of February, breathe a confident spirit.
