ports from my scouts who are on the other side of the river. The forces at Savannah variously estimated at from 100 men to 30,000. All agree that there are seventy vessels. They have been here two days without attempting to land. It was said that Buell was advancing upon Florence and a column from Columbus on Memphis. The roads from Savannah to Florence very bad.

ew of the subsistence, ammunition, and sick and wounded sent here, and of the factories here established. The enemy are roving in detachments over the counties of Franklin and Lawrence, in North Alabama. They are at Russellville, in Franklin County, Alabama, say 300 men. It is reported here that they are seizing horses and mules, and are mounting infantry on them. The northern counties of Alabama, you know, are full of Tories. There has been a convention recently held in the corner of Winston, Fayette, and Marion Counties, Alabama, in which the people resolved to remain neutral; which simply means that they will join the enemy when they occupy the country. Since Mississippi seceded people from these counties have been in this State carrying the United States flag. There are suspected men even in this county. Fayette County, Alabama, joins this county. The enemy can approach through that county without being exposed, make a dash on this place, and in a few hours destroy all t
Piketon (Ohio, United States) (search for this): chapter 2
a question frequently propounded by me, whether I have authority in my own judgment of the necessity of the case to call out the militia, and, if so, for what time, or does it require an express authority from the Department of War? I shall take immediate steps to ascertain the number and arms of the militia in the ten western counties. I am under the impression they will turn out (or can do so) about 5,000 men. I will cause them to be put in order immediately. The enemy is still at Piketon in force, but the late floods in this region have done to him great damage-washing away his supplies and wagons and drowning (I hear) some of his men. Respectfully, &c., H. Marshall, Brigadier-General. Knoxville, Tenn., March 14, 1862. General A. Sidney Johnston, Decatur, Ala.: I have just received information that the enemy crossed the Cumberland Mountains near Jacksborough this morning and captured our cavalry companies there.

Soldiers of Shiloh and of Elkhorn: We are about to meet once more in the shock of battle the invaders of our soil, the despoilers of our homes, the disturbers of our family ties. Face to face,May 3, 1862. The troops of the army corps will hold themselves in readiness to meet the enemy at short notice. General Beauregard calls upon the soldiers of Elkhorn to mingle their banners with those of the victors of Shiloh, and with them to drive back once more the invading army of the North. The soldiers of Elkhorn — the Elkhorn — the Army of the West--will reply at the proper hour with musket and cannon; their banners will wave in the breeze from first to last on the very front of the battle, and their huzza of victory will be echoed by the opposite shores of the Tennessee.

Cross Lanes (West Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 2
f this country either to the Commonwealth of Virginia or to the Confederate Government. Its invaluable possessions and the absence of its patriotic sons have already attracted the designs of the enemy. At an early period of the war strong efforts were made to enter Western Virginia. The enemy unfortunately excluded us from the salines, coal mines, and supplies of the Kanawha, but his advance was checked by the valor of our troops, commanded by General John B. Floyd, at the battles of Cross Lanes and the defense of Gauley River. Since the last campaign the Confederate Government has stationed a small force for the protection of this superior country, and the enemy have been collecting supplies at a point (Raleigh Court-House) calculated to form the base of a formidable invasion into Southwestern Virginia. Within a few weeks past a marauding incursion has advanced and penetrated within 2 miles of the salines and lead mines, and it now threatens the Virginia and Tennessee Rail
