ery clearly the object of the expedition, and that it had no connection whatever with any ulterior operations. Halleck ordered the movement on the 6th, but, on the 10th, he telegraphed directions for its delay; Grant, however, had already started, and the expedition was not recalled. The troops were out for more than a week, anss slaves, if necessary, to strengthen your position as rapidly as possible. It is of vital importance to strengthen your position as rapidly as possible. On the 10th, he continued in the same strain: If possible, destroy the bridges at Clarksville. Run any risk to accomplish this. Strengthen land side of Fort Henry, and trans to resist a land attack. Picks and shovels are sent. Large reenforcements will soon join you. Grant, however, did not wait for the reenforcements, and on the 10th, while Halleck was writing about picks and shovels, he informed Foote that he was only delaying for the return of the gunboats, which, after the fall of Fort Henr

Thomas, Adjutant-General of the Army, Washington: In accordance with your instructions of the 10th instant, I report that General Grant and several officers of high rank in his command, immediately after the battle of Fort Donelson, went to Nashville, without my authority or knowledge. I am satisfied, however, from investigation, that General Grant did this from good intentions, and from a desire to sub-serve the public interests. Not being advised of General Buell's movements, and learning that General Buell had ordered Smith's division of his (Grant's) command to Nashville, he deemed it h

alleck asked, evidently referring to the river expedition: Had not troops sent to reenforce you better go to Memphis hereafter? I hope to give you, twenty thousand additional men in a few days. About the same time, he also informed Grant: I hope for an active campaign on the Mississippi, this fall; a large force will ascend the river from New Orleans. On the 9th, Grant telegraphed: Reenforcements are arriving very slowly. If they do not come in more rapidly, I will attack as I am. On the 10th, he got more restive, and inquired: Am I to understand that I lie here still, while an expedition is fitted out from Memphis, or do you want me to push as far south as possible? Am I to have Sherman subject to my orders, or is he and his force reserved for some special service? Halleck replied promptly: You have command of all troops sent to your department, and have permission to fight the enemy when you please. This was on the 12th, and on the 13th, Grant's cavalry entered Holly Springs,

vements, thus far, were preliminary merely, or of the nature of developments, the necessary supplies and ammunition for the march not having yet arrived. On the 10th, however, the headquarters were removed to Cayuga, eight miles beyond Rocky Springs, and, in accordance with the plan already described, McPherson moved to the nornce will occupy to-day Utica, Auburn, and a point equally advanced towards the Southern Mississippi railroad, between the latter place and the Big Black. On the 10th, Grant said to McClernand, from Cayuga: My headquarters will remain here to-night, and be removed to Auburn in the morning. You need not move to-morrow, except to I sent a special message to Banks, giving him the substance of the information I had, and asking him to join me as soon as possible. The message was sent on the 10th. At forty-five minutes past four, Grant reached Clinton in person, and immediately ordered McClernand: Move your command early to-morrow morning towards Edward's d

eutenant-Colonel Wilson, to Cairo, to communicate direct with the government, and, on the 3d of October, the following dispatch was received: Convey, as soon as possible, to General Grant the following: It is the wish of the Secretary of War that, as soon as General Grant is able to take the field, he will come to Cairo, and report by telegraph. Grant replied from Columbus, Kentucky: Your dispatch from Cairo of the 3d, directing me to report from Cairo, was received at eleven thirty, on the 10th. Left the same day with staff and headquarters, and am here, en route for Cairo. On the 16th, he telegraphed from Cairo: I have just arrived, and report in pursuance with your instructions of the 3d instant. My staff and headquarters are with me. Halleck answered: You will immediately proceed to the Galt House, Louisville, Kentucky, where you will meet an officer of the War Department with your orders and instructions. You will take with you your staff, etc., for immediate operations in

ayetteville, to-morrow, without any thing to eat. See the shipping commissary, and direct him to secure transportation, and send one hundred thousand rations to-morrow morning. He watched over Sherman carefully, not only providing supplies to meet him along the route, and sending him ferry-boats with which to cross the Tennessee, and requesting Admiral Porter to order up gunboats to protect the crossing, but even studying and directing the routes by which he wished Sherman to march. On the 10th, he instructed that commander: I learn that, by the way of Newmarket and Maysville, you will avoid the heavy mountains, and find abundance of forage. If a part of your command is now at Winchester and a part back, that portion behind had better be turned on the Newmarket route. It was important indeed to him that Sherman should arrive in good condition, and as speedily as possible. He could not move Thomas, the wheels of whose cannon were heavy and held him fast; Burnside could not be re

ndness you have done us. I am, general, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, A. E. Burnside, Major-General commanding. Accordingly, having seen Burnside move out of Knoxville, in pursuit of Longstreet, and Granger move in, Sherman put his own command in motion to return. His approach had served to raise the siege. On the morning of the 7th, the commands of Potter and Manson started out in pursuit of Longstreet, under Major-General Parke, Burnside's chief of staff; and, on the 10th, Foster arrived at Knoxville, from Cumberland gap. On the 11th, he assumed command of the Department of the Ohio. Burnside left Knoxville, on the 12th, for Cincinnati. On the 8th, the President sent the following dispatch to Grant: Understanding that your lodgment at Chattanooga and at Knoxville is now secure, I wish to tender you and all under your command my more than thanks, my profoundest gratitude for the skill, courage, and perseverance, with which you and they, over so great diffi

I sent a special messenger to Banks, giving him the substance of the information I had, and asking him to join me as soon as possible. This message was sent on the 10th. General Grant to General Halleck.-(letter.) near Vicksburg, May 22, 1863. Vicksburg is now completely invested. I have possession of Haine's bluff and the Yazoo, consequently have supplies. To-day an attempt was made to carry the city by the necessary force, to cooperate with General Banks, to secure the reduction of Port Hudson and the union of the two armies. But I received a letter from General Banks, stating that he was in Louisiana, and would return to Baton Rouge by the 10th inst. By the reduction of Port Hudson, he could add only twelve thousand to my force. I had certain information that General Jo. Johnston was on his way to Jackson, and that reenforcements were arriving there constantly from Port Hudson and the Sout

General McPherson to General Grant. headquarters Seventeenth army corps, Department of the Tennessee, near Vicksburg, Miss., June 18, 1863. Major-General Grant, commanding Department of the Tennessee: General: My attention has just been called to an article published in the Missouri Democrat of the 10th instant, purporting to be a congratulatory order from Major-General John A. McClernand to his command. The whole tenor of the order is so ungenerous, and the insinuations and criminations against the other corps of your army are so manifestly at variance with the facts, that a sense of duty to my command, as well as the verbal protest of every one of my division and brigade commanders against allowing such an order to go forth to the public unanswered, require that I should call your attention
