road? If this is so, the alternative you have is to withdraw him to some point which will threaten a force advancing either from Kingston or Chattanooga, or else hold the position, and concentrate all the force you can spare at such a point. McMinnville and some strong mountain position not far in advance of that, within supporting distance, between Dunlap and McMinnville, would be a good position if you have time to take it. The road to Mc-Minnville should immediately be put in order. The cMcMinnville, would be a good position if you have time to take it. The road to Mc-Minnville should immediately be put in order. The choice of the alternatives depends on the force of the enemy. D. C. Buell. headquarters Department of the Mississippi, Corinth, June 12, 1862. Major-General Buell, Commanding, &c.: General: I have just been shown a letter from General Nelson to Colonel Kelton, complaining that newspapers have done him injustice in stating that the troops of General Pope and some of the troops of General Sherman were the first in Corinth. In my reports to the Secretary of War I stated precisely what was of

t of my proceedings in the preparation of extempore steam-rams will, I think, enable you to respond to the inquiries contained in Commodore Foote's letter of instructions to you: I was instructed by the Secretary of War, March 27, to proceed immediately and with the greatest expedition to Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and New Albany, and select and prepare the most suitable steamboats I could find in the least possible time, to act as steam-rams, to meet the rebel gunboats and rams on the Mississippi River, the honorable Secretary expressing the hope that not more than twenty days would be consumed in getting them ready for service. In response to that order I selected three of the strongest and swiftest stern-wheel coal tow-boats at Pittsburgh, of which the average dimensions are about 170 feet length, 30 feet beam, and over 5 feet hold. At Cincinnati I selected two side-wheel boats, of which the largest is 180 feet long, 37 1/2 feet beam in the widest part, and 8 feet hold. At

I destroyed a bridge 6 miles east of Stevenson myself, and on the following day or night the enemy destroyed two bridges, the one at Stevenson, the other 8 miles this side. There is a good road in dry weather from Bellefonte to Stevenson and Bridgeport. My cavalry and scouts will scour that country and will burn the Tennessee bridge, unless guarded by a heavy force. It is rumored at Bellefonte that the enemy is attempting to rebuild the bridge which I destroyed. I will learn the facts veryrtance to the occupying of Tuscumbia and the south side of the river beyond Decatur I have decided quietly to withdraw my troops to the north side of the river, and will then destroy the bridge. This done, I can give my individual attention to Bridgeport. Should it be desirable to join you my division can easily march to Florence in two days from Athens. The great responsibility I have been under and constant activity day and night begin to tell unfavorably on my health. I have a line of c

d of the line my party will meet them, and we will thus in a very few days be brought into direct telegraphic communication. My train will be in Columbia very soon after this reaches you. I trust your depot is well filled with supplies. We can bring away at one load about five days rations for 10,000 men. I shall order my regiments now at Shelbyville and Fayetteville to Wartrace, to join their brigades at Decatur. I wish it were possible to open the railway by rebuilding the bridges to Elkwater. This would enable me to feed my troops without difficulty. I have not heard from you in answer to my request to send a regiment to Murfreesborough and one to Shelbyville. I am certain this should be done promptly. Your obedient servant, O. M. Mitchel, Brigadier-General. headquarters Third Division, Huntsville, April 25, 1862. Major-General Buell.

Headquarters of the Department of the Mississippi will remain, until further oumberland Ford, April 29, 1862. Major-General Buell: The reports of the scouts are very contradictory. Five guns were withdrawn from the Gap and taken toward Knoxville three days ago, doubtless intended for Corinth. Two days before they were removed I arrested a woman who had eluded our pickets and gained the Gap to see her hueply he simply dated his letter Department of East Tennessee, April 19. I believe that he is at Corinth. It is represented that the enemy has four regiments at Knoxville, two at Morristown, one at Clinton, and a force at Kingston, as well as small parties along the railroad.

ness will not be interfered with. By command of Major-General Halleck: J. C. Kelton, Assistant Adjutant-General. Bear Creek, June 7, 1862. Col. J. B. Fry: To hasten the work I will send one brigade (Hascall's) across Bear Creek to Buzzard Roost Creek. The Engineer Regiment has force enough to prosecute the work on both bridges at the same time, and I trust by the arrangement to get both done in about half the time that would be required if the work were done one at a time. Please fy has a pretty strong cavalry force and some artillery and infantry between Tuscumbia and Decatur. I should prefer to have an entire division between those points. That was my first arrangement, having another division for Bear Creek and Buzzard Roost Creek Bridges, which I have directed General Wood to work on at the same time. To put one division to cover at the same time the entire distance from Bear Creek to Decatur would probably expose them to annoyance, which they would not be in forc

Halleck, Major-General. headquarters, June 4, 1862. Major-General Buell: Pope's forces are nearly all past Danville and I suppose now are near BaldwDanville and I suppose now are near Baldwin. He expects an engagement to-day. I think you will find the road clear of Pope's troops. Lieutenant North will report to you as a guide this morning and General Pope will send others to meet you. H.

, near Booneville, June 7, 1862. General Halleck: Mitchel reports to me, on what he thinks reliable authority, that on the 28th ultimo Beauregard telegraphed Leadbetter at Chattanooga to cross the river and hold the northern side, especially Winchester, at all hazards, and that some artillery, and possibly some infantry, had already been sent over. Mitchel drove the enemy's cavalry out of Winchester on the 2d and was moving toward Jasper, from which he considered his force sufficient to drivWinchester on the 2d and was moving toward Jasper, from which he considered his force sufficient to drive the enemy even if all the troops of Leadbetter should be found there. If Beauregard has given such orders they may perhaps be regarded as premonitory of some further design. D. C. Buell. headquarters, Corinth, June 8, 1862. General Buell: General Mitchel telegraphs that he cannot do anything in repairing railroads this side of Decatur. Have you any reason to think the enemy are in sufficient force to pre-vent General Wood from occupying and repairing that line If not, please order
