t before daylight, to escape observation. Very respectfully, your obdt. servt., Thomas Jordan, Chief of Staff. A copy of the telegram referred to was, on the same day, forwarded to General Taliaferro, commanding the Seventh Military District. He was directed to hold his troops prepared at night for the emergency, and to look particularly to the east lines exposed to approach from Morris Island, giving due regard, however, to the proper protection of the new lines. BrigadierGen-eral Wise, commanding Sixth Military District, St. Andrew's Parish, was also instructed as to what course to follow, should he be called to the assistance of General Taliaferro.

General Beauregard's telegram to Gene about 3200 strong, holding the Bermuda Hundreds lines, and Wise's brigade, together with the local militia of Petersburg, have inevitably fallen into the hands of the enemy.
