to Buell as follows: Halleck, from his own accounts, will not soon be in condition to support properly a movement up the Cumberland. And again on the 13th: Halleck is not yet in condition to afford you the support you need when you undertake the movement on Bowling Green.

On the same day Halleck telegraphed Grant: Reenforcements are receiving arms. Delay your movements until I telegraph. Let me know when the channel is clear. And on the next day: I can hear nothing from Buell, so fix your own time for the advance

repel vigorously all attempts at reconnoissance, by land or by water. A few days later, he was instructed to open a road across the difficult country opposite Island No.10, and to establish a telegraph line between the Island and Humboldt, or Union City, via Obionville, as a line of communication. The cavalry, at Paris, was to watch and report the passage of any gunboats or transports up the Tennessee River, from the direction of Fort Henry, extending its pickets as near as possible to Mayfield, which was then occupied by Federal cavalry, keeping the latter always in sight, and, if compelled to retire, to burn the bridges and thus hinder reconnoissances. In view of the great importance of New Madrid, General Polk was further instructed to send as strong a garrison thither as he could, including most of the troops at Fort Pillow, if necessary. He was also to aid in hastening the immediate completion and arming of the batteries there and of those at the head of Island No.10 and

ainst Sherman than in any fitful effort to arrest Thomas, should he begin in earnest a movement southward. From the time General Beauregard left Mobile till his arrival at Augusta, on the 1st of February, he was incessantly engaged in issuing orders and giving and sending instructions for the rapid transportation of the remnant of General Hood's army. It was then that he called the attention of the War Department to the necessity of speedily finishing the railroad from Milledgeville to Mayfield, and asked authority to assign Major Hottle, A. Q. M., to that important work, which he deemed essential to further military operations. But General Gilmer was of a different opinion, and the War Department, therefore, paid no attention to General Beauregard's suggestion. He likewise appealed to Governors Brown (of Georgia) and Clark (of Mississippi), strongly advising them to use the militia of their respective States, and all other means in their power, to secure the return of deserters

n Walke, and Lexington, Captain Stembolt, convoyed the expedition, and rendered most efficient service. Immediately upon our landing they engaged the enemy's batteries on the heights above Columbus, and protected our transports throughout. For a detailed account of the part taken by them, I refer with pleasure to the accompanying report of Captain H. S. Walke, senior officer. In pursuance of my request, General Smith, commanding at Paducah, sent, on the seventh instant, a force to Mayfield, Kentucky, and another in the direction of Columbus, with orders not to approach nearer, however, than twelve or fifteen miles of that place. I also sent a small force on the Kentucky side toward Columbus, under Colonel John Cook, Seventh Illinois volunteers, with orders not to go beyond Elliott's Mills, distant some twelve miles from Columbus. These forces having marched to the points designated in their orders, returned, without having met any serious resistance. On the evening of the sev

Several days were spent in Augusta furnishing papers for the soldiers who were passing through the city. Instead of proceeding to Columbia with the army, as was intended, by your request and the advice of the treasurer, Brother Burke, I remained in Augusta to aid in shipping a large supply of paper for the publications of the association, and returned to Mayfield, where I continued to supply with papers the large number of Confederate soldiers who were returning from furlough to their commands, and the militia of Georgia going on furlough to their homes. We are under special obligations to Major W. F. Ayer, Chief Quartermaster, Major Jno. S. Bransford, Chief of Transportation, and Major Throckmorton, of the Transportation Department, all of the Army of Tennessee, for the invaluable services they rendered the association in securing an early shipm
