Corinth, April 9. General S. Cooper, Richmond, Va.: All present probabilities are that whenever the enemy moves on this position he will do so with an overwhelming force of not less than 85,000 men. We can now muster only about 35,000 effectives. Van Dorn may possibly join us in a few days with about 15,000 more. Can we not be re-enforced from Pemberton's army? If defeated here we lose the Mississippi Valley and probably our cause; whereas we could even afford to lose for a while Charleston and Savannah for the purpose of defeating Buell's army, which would not only insure us the Valley of the Mississippi, but our independence. G. T. Beauregard. Very respectfully, O. M. Mitchel, Brigadier-General, Commanding Third Division. General orders, no. 17. Hdqrs. Dept.

ies, and a regiment of cavalry I shall leave here for the present. At least one and perhaps two divisions will have to be left to observe routes which expose this place, leaving four divisions there for actual operations against the point of attack indicated by General Halleck. Every bridge in the route, however small, has to be rebuilt, and this, with the swollen condition of the streams from constant heavy rains, retards my progress. My advance is now at Columbia, making a bridge over Duck River. In the above enumeration of force I have made no mention of eight regiments of infantry of my actual force which was sent to General Halleck during his operations against Fort Donelson, four of which took an active part in the attack, nor of eight regiments which I ordered from Indiana and Ohio for the same object. It will be observed that the force in Kentucky is reduced to a very low number. It will be probably necessary to increase the guards on the railroads there when the low

All other officers, of whatever rank or corps, wisistant Adjutant-General. Saint Louis, March 21, 1862. Major-General Buell, Nashville : General: There seems to be a good many complaints about paroled prisoners of war in Louisville. Would it not be well to send them away, the officers to Columbus and the privates to Indianapolis If any were sent there from Fort Donelson it was without my knowledge or authority, except in one single case, where the officer was sick, and his parole was asked for as a particular favor by Messrs.

Pope, Major-General. Washington, July 5, 1865. Maj. Gen. John Pope, Present: General: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 3d instant. As my papers are all boxed up for transportation to California, I am not able to refer to the dispatches to which you allude nor can I trust my memory in regard to communications made more than three years ago, further than to say that I never reported to the Secretary of War dispatches received from you which were not so received.

It is rumored at Bellefonte that the enemy is attempting to rebuild the bridge which I destroyed. I will learn the facStevenson, the other 8 miles this side.

Having no intelligence from you as to sending boats with supplies to Tuscumbia Landing, and finding it impossible to feed my division from Shelbyville without the aid of all my regimental trains, I have ordered Colonel Turchin to keep outpost and pickets at Tuscumbia and Leighton, and to post his brigade on the hit

I have rebuilt the telegraph line from Huntsville to Decatur, and have it in constant use by operators from my own division. I have ordered cavalry scouts from Decatur on the road to Moulton and on the road to Somerville. My scouts from Huntsville are on the short mountain road direct to Bellefonte and on the long road leading to the most southern bend leading to Blountsville and on the road leading to Somerville. I fear the heavy rains now falling will render the streams between this place and Fayetteville impassable. I sent a courier at daylight this morning to meet the train, and in case the water was too deep to ford to have the train move to Athens, to which point I sent a locomotive with cars this morning. On the cars I sent a small detachment of engineers to explore and put in order the road leading from a point near Elk River to the turnpike at El
