Despatches from Jefferson Davis had been intercepted, giving Smith positive orders; and Canby was now directed, not only to prevent the crossing of the river, but to act against the communications of Hood and Beauregard.

He promised to start it by that day, but I know he did not, and I do not know that he has yet started it.
