convinced that the foregoing statement is not only correct as far as it goes, but, in my opinion, it gives a fair idea of all that occurred at that time in regard to the question of our crossing the Potomac. G. W. Smith, Maj.-Gen. C. S. A. Centreville, Va., January 31st, 1862. Signed in Triplicate. Our recollections of that conference agree fully with this statement of General G. W. Smith. G. T. Beauregard, Gen. C. S. A., J. E. Johnston, Gen. C. S. A. Centreville, Va., January 31st, 1Centreville, Va., January 31st, 1862. Signed in Triplicate. This is what took place at the Fairfax Court-House conference. It confirms what we have already stated at the beginning of the present chapter. We now resume our review of Mr. Davis's remarks about it. In that authoritative tone which ill befits him to-day, and frees from undue courtesy towards him those whom he so cavalierly misrepresents, Mr. Davis, with a view to impugn the veracity of the authors of the foregoing memorandum, writes as follows: It does

called forth the warm praise of his numerous friends, who were anxious, as he was himself, that the cause of public defence should not be embarrassed by personal contests. We deem it proper to lay this whole letter before the reader. Centreville, Va. (within hearing of the enemy's guns), Nov. 3d, 1861. To the Editors of the Richmond Whig: Gentlemen,—My attention has just been called to an unfortunate controversy now going on, relative to the publication of the synopsis of my report o presented to Mr. Davis himself, through Colonel Chestnut, who carried a written memorandum of its main features, and full verbal instructions. General Beauregard's answer read as follows: Headquarters 1ST corps army of the Potomac, Centreville, Va., Nov. 22d, 1861. Sir,--In compliance with your request, I have the honor to enclose you herewith, at the earliest moment practicable, a copy of the following papers relating to the strategic part of my report of the battle of Manassas, t

le of Manassas to be published, and, if published, must all, or a part, be published, omitting preliminary statement. Congress discusses the matter tomorrow. James L. Kemper. The next day General Beauregard sent this reply: Centreville, Va., January 10th, 1862. Let Congress do for the best. We must think of the country before we think of ourselves. I believe Burnside's expedition is intended for Wilmington, to cut off railroad to Charleston. Let government look to it. Gsion. Shortly afterwards, fault being again found with this corps command, General Beauregard, in order to avoid all further complication and appearance of disobedience to orders, forwarded the following telegram to President Davis: Centreville, Va., December 31st, 1861. To President Jeff. Davis, Richmond: Please state definitely what I am to command, if I do not command a corps, in consequence of latter being unauthorized. G. T. Beauregard. To this no reply came, and th

ft, with Forts Henry and Donelson at about the middle of the line, formed a reen-tering angle of nearly thirty miles, which was very much weakened by being intersected, nearly at right angles, by the two navigable streams on which those forts were located; that our flanks at Bowling Green and Columbus were so salient that the former could be easily turned and must fall by its own weight, and that the latter would become untenable also, should Grant's attack on Fort Henry succeed; At Centreville, Va., and before his transfer, General Beauregard, while examining the military situation in the West, had regarded the position of Forts Henry and Donelson as faulty, the true position for the works to defend these rivers being at an advanced point, where the streams approached each other within three miles; and this opinion he had expressed in a conversation on the subject with his Chief of Staff, Colonel Jordan, at Centreville. In his interview with General Cooper, some days later, in th

ery faithfully yours, Sam. Jones, Brig.-Genl. Genl. G. T. Beauregard, C. S. A. Centreville, Va., Nov. 9th, 1861. The above statement of General Sam. Jones agrees perfectly well with mr to write said letter to Cooper. Yours truly, G. T. Beauregard. Genl. J. E. Johnston, Centreville, Va. P. S.—Perhaps the rumor is due to my having sent my ordnance officer to Richmond to hy respectfully, your obedient servant, Roger A. Pryor. Genl. G. T. Beauregard. Centreville, Va., Jan. 25th, 1862.
