Major-General Cheatham made a failure on the 30th of November, which will be a lesson for him. I think it best he should ref Tennessee, nor, at that time, assist General Hood in any way whatever. On the 15th of December, General Thomas, having collected all his available troops at Nashville, while General Hood had, unfortunately, divided his own, He had sent General Forrest and some infantry towards Murfreesboroa, to watch or capture a small forc

At Augusta, on his way to Milledgeville, he received President Davis's despatch of January 2d, authorizing him to give the command of the Army of Tennessee to Lieutenant-General Taylor, should circumstances justify him in so doing. See telegram of Mr. Davis, in Appendix. This relieved General Beauregard of much anxiety for the moment. He took advantage of his short stay at Augusta to issue instructions to General Hardee relative to the defence of Branchville against Sherman. He informed General Hardee that he had selected a defensive line behind Briar Creek, in Georgia, to correspond with that of the Salkehatchie, in South Carolina, See telegram from General Beauregard to General Hardee, in Appendix. See, also, order of War Department giving limits of Department South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida putting it under General G. W. Smith, who then had command of the Georgia reserves.

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

l Beauregard, who was still in Charleston, received telegrams from Colonel G-. W. Brent, his Chief of Staff, then at Montgomery, Ala., informing him that He had nothing official from Hood, but that, from a despatch received from General S. D. Lee, therefore compelled to await further tidings. A day or two later Colonel Brent again telegraphed as follows: Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 27th, 1864. To General G. T. Beauregard, Charleston, S. C.: If you can be spared from your present duties, General Taylor to its command, should I find its condition such as to require a change of commander? Please answer at Montgomery. G. T. Beauregard.

His request is granted, and you will place Lieutenant-General Taylor in command, he retaining command of his Department as heretofore, and you, with such troops as may be spared, will return to Georgia and South Carolina. James A. Seddon, Secretary of War. Both Generals Hood and Taylor were immediately informed of this order; and General Beauregard, after giving detailed instructions to General Smith, Chief-Engineer, for the defence of Choctaw and Open Bluff, Ala., and the river at those points, started on the 19th of January for Augusta, Ga., via Mobile. He had on that day requested General Hood to hold Cheatham's corps (less Gibson's brigade) in readiness to move at a moment's notice, and to see to it that one hundred rounds of small-arms ammunition per man should be sent with the troops going to Georgia. On his departure from Tupelo he left with General Taylor the following special field order, with date in blank, to be fi

At Augusta, on his way Department South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida putting it under General G. W. Smith, who then had command of the Georgia reserves.
