There were, at the time of the evacuation, nineteen thousand troops in and around the place, the entire force commanded by Gen. (Bishop) Polk. Gens. Cheatham and Pillow were in command of brigades. Gen. Beauregard was not here, but was hourly expected, having been delayed by sickness.

Gantt; was stationed at Island No.10 on the Mississippi river, and transferred back and forth to New Madrid at the will of Gen. Gid. J.

Island No.10 was surrendered April 15, 1862, after a terrific bombardment by the enemy's mortar-boats and gunboats, aided by an overflow which nearly submerged the island. The Confederate defenses consisted of dissolving earthworks and twenty guns. Maj. W. J. Hoadley, of Little Rock, having served his guns with great bravery, spiked them and made his escape with one section of the battalion. The others were included in t

I heard a responsible gentleman, who is personally acquainted with affairs in Paducah and say, that this is the calculation publicly expressed among the officers at Cairo." These extracts shadow forth correctly their plans and every effort should be made to prepare a strong force to meet them on the right and rear. No time should be lost. Gin. J. Pillow, Brig. Gen. C.

commendation for the manner in which they sustained the first shock of battle, and under circumstances of great embarrassment threw themselves into position and followed up the conflict throughout the day. Being mostly with these two brigades, I can speak from personal knowledge of their gallant bearing. I must also acknowledge my obligations to Brig-Gen.

I have pleasure in being able to say that Colonel Forrest--whose command greatly distinguished its commander as a bold and gallant leader, and reflected distinguished honor upon itself — passed safety through the enemy's lines of investment, and trust it will yet win other honors in defence of our rights and the just cause of our country.
