Lee; then by the small infantry force at the disposal of the Commanding General. After crossing Pearl River, Lee's cavalry was thrown upon its flanks and rear, and with such success as to prevent all foraging. The stores in depots of all the railroads between Pearl River and the Tombigbee were sent east, and the whole of the rolling stock of thosPearl River and the Tombigbee were sent east, and the whole of the rolling stock of those roads was placed beyond the enemy's reach.
