Ala.: The advance will reach Decatur in three days. Cleburne's brigade and two regiments and battalion of cavalry left at Shelbyville, under General Hardee, to forward pork, and then rejoin main body. Cleburne had as yet seen but little of the pride of glorious war. Constructing plank roads through the lowlands, a depressing and painful retreat in the winter, and guarding and forwarding pork in the rear, were attended by no pomp and circumstance. News of the defeat of Van Dorn at Elkhorn Tavern, Ark., March 7th, and the death of McCulloch and McIntosh, added to the general gloom. The movement of the enemy from Paducah up the Tennessee river had already commenced. Gen. C. F. Smith assembled four divisions at Savannah, Tenn., on the 13th; Bell began his march from Nashville on the 1st, and Sherman disembarked troops at Pittsburg landing on the 16th and made a reconnoissance to Monterey, nearly half way to Corinth.

way of introduction, The bearer of this note, Colonel Greer, of Texas, is probably better known to you than myself, but I know him well and can say of him, that he is a gentleman worthy of the highest confidence. At the battle of Pea Ridge, or Elkhorn, Greer's regiment did some splendid work, helping, on the first day, to drive back the enemy, and, on the second day, aiding in repelling the enemy's advance. On June 1, 1862, Colonel Greer sent in his resignation, but it was recalled, and in Oand of the Confederates at the battle of Wilson's Creek, in which he won a glorious victory. In the spring of 1862, under the command of General Van Dorn, he led his brigade and the cavalry brigade of General McIntosh against the Federals at Elkhorn tavern, and at the opening of that bloody struggle, while reconnoitering the Federal lines, rode directly into a party of sharpshooters, and was mortally wounded by a rifle ball in the breast. He died near Pea Ridge, Ark., March 7, 1862. Brigad

y disabled for cavalry service forever. My boy Jem alone enjoyed that trip. He rode in the ambulance all day and slept ad libitum day and night; and except when he got a ducking by the upsetting of a canoe in Black river, he was as happy as ever he had been since the last herring season on the Potomac. The battle of Elkhorn disturbed Tem's equilibrium even more than the upsetting of the canoe. The excitement of imminent danger, which was never a pleasing emotion to Jem, was kept up at Elkhorn much longer than in Black river, and I could not find him for three days—not, indeed, until we accidentally met on the route of our retreat, when I must say he showed great delight at meeting up with me again, and took to himself no little credit for the skill with which he had conducted the movements of that ambulance for the past three days. It had contained all of our clothing and blankets and camp supplies, of no little value to hungry and wearied warriors. The blankets and clothing we

The first, beginning at the north, is that of Elkhorn, or Pea Ridge, on the road from Huntsville to Bentonville, where was fought the battle we have described elsewhere.

This general started with all his troops on the morning of the 3d, and by forced marches reached Elkhorn Tavern on the 5th with his convoy. On the same day, Hindman, having at last roused himself from his inaction, met Blunt's outposts, but without having any serious encounter with them. On the 6th he again drove them back, seized the junction of th
