Colonel Harris was of the opinion that e their report, we received the order of General Beauregard, through the Signal Corps, to evacuate t honor of its arrangement. The order of General Beauregard did not fix the details nor change the p sent, because it was not the purpose of General Beauregard to send any officer there who would ranke drills.
