. On the 21st of February, General C. F. Smith, by Grant's direction, took possession of Clarksville, about fifty miles above Fort Donelson, and Grant wrote to Cullum announcing the fact, and proposing the capture of Nashville, but said, I am ready for any move the general commanding may suggest. On the 24th, he reported that Smith was at Clarksville, with four small regiments, and added: I do not purpose send. ing more, until I know the pleasure of General Halleck on the subject. On the 25th, he said: I wrote you that General Nelson's division (of Buell's army), had been sent to Nashville; since then, I have learned that the head of General Buell's column had arrived, on Monday evening. The rebels have fallen back to Chattanooga, instead of to Murfreesboro, as stated in a former letter. I shall go to Nashville immediately after the arrival of the next mail, should there be no orders to prevent it. I am getting anxious to know what the next move is going to be. He went to Nashvi

raise the siege, attacking from the northeast, with all the men they could command. He, therefore, wrote to Banks, on the 25th: I feel that my force is abundantly strong to hold the enemy where he is, or to whip him if he should come out. The place re killed or wounded. Pemberton's report. But no serious attempt to charge was made, the result of the assaults, on the 25th, having been so inconsiderable. From this time forward, the engineers were kept constantly and busily employed, mining y action. To Ord: The utmost vigilance should be observed in watching the crossings of the Big Black. To Sherman, on the 25th: Should you discover a change of plans on his (Johnston's) part, counteract it. To a junior officer, on a certain occasios should be kept sacred to the use of the impoverished inhabitants. On the 24th, he moved to Champion's hill, and on the 25th, recrossed the Big Black river, and once more went into camp near Vicksburg. On the 4th of July, the great mass of troo

will endanger the success of Rosecrane. All of these orders were made on the 22d, the day that Halleck's dispatch arrived. His orders were received on the morning of the 22d; Osterhaus's division of Sherman's corps was then at the Big Black bridge, fifteen miles off, but the whole command reached Vicksburg during the night of the same day; most of it was embarked within twenty-four hours, and all of it was sailing up the river, within forty-eight hours from the receipt of the order. On the 25th, Grant wrote: I am just out of bed, and find that I can write only with great difficulty. During the twenty days that I have been confined to one position on my back, I have apparently been in the most perfect health, but now that I am up on crutches I find myself very weak. On the same day, Halleck's dispatches of the 13th arrived, and Grant replied: I will now send Sherman to West Tennessee, with two more divisions of his corps. This leaves one division of Sherman's corps here, but it

the route. If Burnside holds out until this force gets beyond Kingston, I think the enemy will fly, and with the present state of the roads, must abandon almost every thing. I believe Bragg will lose much of his army by desertion, in consequence of his defeat in the last three days fight. On the 26th, Halleck replied to Grant's announcement of success: I congratulate you and your army on the victories of Chattanooga. This is truly a day of thanksgiving. To Sherman, on the night of the 25th, Grant said: My plan is to move your forces out gradually, until they reach the railroad between Cleveland and Dalton. Granger will move up the south side of the Tennessee. . . . . . We will push Bragg with all our strength, to-morrow, and try if we cannot cut off a good portion of his new troops and trains. His men have manifested a strong desire to desert for some time past, and we will now give them a chance. . . . . Move the advance force on the most easterly road taken by the enemy.

y as possible, for the effect it will have in favor of Sherman, and also on affairs in East Tennessee. I regret you cannot go. On the 21st: Do your troops move to-morrow? It is important that at least a demonstration be made, at once. On the 25th, he telegraphed to Halleck: Thomas's forces left Chattanooga, last Monday, to demonstrate against Dalton, to prevent forces being sent from there against Sherman. Our troops have Tunnel hill. Longstreet, at the same time, made a retrograde movement, and Schofield started immediately in pursuit. On the 25th, Thomas reported to Grant, from Tunnel hill: Davis and Johnson (two of his division commanders) occupy the pass at Buzzard's roost. They have a force equal to theirs in their front, who outnumber them in artillery. It is not possible to carry the place by assault. Palmer made the attempt to turn it yesterday with Baird's and Cruft's divisions, but was met by an equal force, and in an equally strong position as at Buzzard's roost

orders for the return of the Yazoo pass expedition from Fort Greenwood. From information I have, other and greater difficulties would be found in navigating the Yazoo below Greenwood. Considerable preparation has been made to receive our forces coming by that route. I get papers and deserters frequently from Vicksburg, but am not able to arrive at any definite conclusion as to their numbers. I do not anticipate any trouble, however, if a landing can be effected. On the morning of the 25th, General Ellet sent two rams, the Switzerland and the Lancaster, to join Admiral Farragut. The last-named ram received a shot in the boiler long before reaching the front of the city. She floated down, however, receiving many more shots, but without materially further disabling her. She will be ready for service before to-morrow night, and is a fine vessel. The other boat received a shot, and immediately went to pieces. A large part, containing the machinery, tipped over, spilling it in t

forces across Chattanooga creek, and the movement was commenced. This having been successfully accomplished, our whole forces were concentrated on the ridge, and extended to the right to meet the movement in that direction. On Wednesday, the 25th, I again visited the extreme right, now under Lieutenant-General Hardee, and threatened by a heavy force, whilst strong columns could be seen marching in that direction. A very heavy force in line of battle confronted our left and centre. On m usual, is entitled to my warmest thanks and high commendation for his gallant and judicious conduct during the whole of the trying scenes through which we passed. Major-General Cleburne, whose command defeated the enemy in every assault on the 25th, and who eventually charged and routed him on that day, capturing several stands of colors and several hundred prisoners, and who afterwards brought up our rear with great success, again charging and routing the pursuing column at Ringgold, on the
