he enemy have no iron-clad gunboats on the Tennessee. Field batteries can be used effectively against their gunboats. A. S. Johnston. Pulaski, March 19, 1862--4.36 p. m. General A. Sidney Johnston, Commanding Western Department: General: Your orders of 17th and 18th are received and shall be carried out, particularly in relation to the cotton, as far as practicable. My last information from Columbia is that the enemy had not crossed in any force, the burning of the pike bridge over Duck River having checked them for the time. I have two companies in that vicinity, who will keep me fully posted. I shall remain here, forwarding Government property and the straggling soldiers, a large number of whom are hourly coming in. To get these off I shall need some more cars, and would thank you to send all that can be spared; otherwise I fear that many of our infantrymen who have been absent on furlough will not be able to rejoin their commands.

es of artillery between Cumberland Ford and Barboursville. Two regiments are on the Cumberland River in Kentucky between Somerset and Burkesville. Generals Thomas and Schoepf with their commands have joined Buell. All the efforts of the enemy will, I think, be directed toward the Mississippi, and if any movement be made on East Tennessee, it will be from Nashville and the Cumberland River as a base, with a line of operations through Middle Tennessee, by Sparta to Kingston, or possibly Athens, Tenn. The barrenness of the country to the north and northwest and the difficulty of obtaining and transporting supplies will prevent operations from that direction. I will order a brigade to Kingston as soon as one can be organized; a battery should accompany it. A company has been formed here, if the guns and equipments can be obtained in Richmond. In conclusion let me once more refer to the character of the troops with which I will have to operate. The two Alabama regiments, the only w

hus relieve himself from the awkward position in which he is about to find himself by the rapid fall of the Tennessee River. It is also evident that the true line of retreat of the forces at this point is along the Mobile and Ohio road toward Meridian and thence toward Montgomery, so as to be able, as a last resort, to unite with the armies of the East. This line not only covers the railroad and river lines of communication to Selma and Montgomery, but also from a position along the Mobile awould give the enemy command of the Mississippi River from Vicksburg to the Ohio and Missouri Rivers, and enable him to concentrate a large force against Vicksburg. The fall of the latter place would endanger our line of communication thence to Meridian and Selma (the latter portion now nearly completed) and the Armies of the Mississippi and of the West would soon be compelled to abandon the whole State of Mississippi and another large portion of Alabama, to take refuge behind the Alabama River

Place scouts at proper points to ascertain and report to you in full time to insure the execution of this order when necessary. Answer, and warn operators not to speak of this message. A. S. Johnston, General, C. S. Army. Decatur, Ala., March 18, 1862. Major-General Bragg, Corinth: sir: I am informed that there are about 300 men in Tishomingo County, who belonged to Colonel Reynolds' Twenty-sixth Mississippi, a war regiment, which was surrendered at Donelson, who are desirous of uniting themselves with the war regiment now being raised by Colonel Lowry. I would suggest that these men be organized into three companies. There are only four commissioned officers among these men present and fit for duty. These might be assigned to the three companies with the same rank they now hold; the other offices in the companies might be fill

The railroad bridge has not been destroyed. Avery informed about an hour ago that the last trains had notined here, unless I should kill a beef from the pastures and get forage from the plantations near, which I shall do if the regular supply fails.

you handed me yesterday. I return it, and inclose therewith the statement of Lieutenant Webb, a Government telegraph operator, who was there at the time. The regular operator, Martin Pride, had received permission some time before to go to Fayetteville on personal affairs, but by Mr. Hopper's order he left Huntsville about Wednesday noon, the 9th of April, together with J. G. Heap a tinner by trade, who was employed as a spy or scout to get information of the enemy's movements. The two were taken into Fayetteville by the Federal pickets and detained some four or five hours. After being released, to avoid detention, they went northeast about 3 miles and turned back, reaching Brownsborough, some 10 miles east of Huntsville. Pride took passage on a gravel train and proceeded to Stevenson. From there he came to Corinth, to report himself to Mr. Ross superintendent of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. Notwithstanding he warned the engine-driver, he believes the train returned
