than all the other Confederate States; so we will say 20 regiments of infantry, at 60012,000      Total infantry48,600 Add 20 batteries artillery, at 901,800 Add 6 regiments cavalry, at 6003,600           Grand total54,000           This must have been the entire force of the Confederate Army, as we know that the Mississippi numbers are militia numbers, and that the North Carolina numbers are also militia, because I captured the 7th North Carolina Volunteers at Hatteras, on the 28th of the following August, and they had been organized but a week. But it may be asked, How do we know that these were not the earlier regiments, and others of much higher numbers had been raised and in service elsewhere; or that large reserves were not left at Manassas, and not brought up? Beauregard says the whole Army of the Potomac was, on the morning of the 21st July21,833and 29 guns. The Army of the Shenandoah was8,334and 20 guns.    Total30,167

as to make them interfere in behalf of the South--somewhat illogical but certainly true. Randolph, the rebel Secretary of War, wrote to Lovell, April 25, 1862, as follows:-- It has been determined to burn all the cotton and tobacco, whether foreign or our own, to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy. You will, therefore, destroy it all if necessary to prevent them from getting it. This was sent on the 25th of April,but did not reach Lovell. It was again sent on the 28th, and did not reach him directly, but he did get it on the 7th of May. Randolph renewed the instructions on May 21, 1862. [War Records, Series I., Vol. XV, pp. 459-471.] The following is from Lovell's order pursuant to the instructions from Randolph [War Records, Series I., Vol. XV., pp. 459-460]:-- headquarters Department no. 1, C.

ghboring plantations by armed parties, are engaged on the work. With the hard-working twelve hundred negro force engaged and this prospect of a rise we are in good heart. The project is a great one, and worthy of success. In the next three days we expect to be ready for the waters of the Mississippi. The fleets of Flag-Officers Farragut and Davis are waiting for the result with great interest. Seven of Flag-Officer Farragut's vessels, having passed Vicksburg at four in the morning of the 28th, without silencing the batteries of the town, are anchored with Flag-Officer Davis' fleet of six mortar boats and four gunboats on the west side of Barney's Point. Again on the 6th of July, he reported as follows:-- To-day's work of the negro force on the cut-off, duly organized into squads of twenty,with an intelligent non-commissioned officer or private to each, superintended by officers, is highly satisfactory. The flag-officer with his fleet is most sanguine and even enthusiastic.

e right of the enemy's line in sufficient numbers so as to enable the Army of the Potomac to move upon the enemy's communication near Petersburg. The forces appropriated to this purpose are so much of the Army of the James as can be spared from the lines at Bermuda Hundred and the garrisoned posts on the river — the strength of which forces you know. the manner in which the movement is to be made. The acting chief of engineers will have caused by twelve (12) o'clock midnight of the 28th inst., a sufficient pontoon bridge, well covered to prevent noise, to be laid from the road on the south side of the James to a point near Varina or Aikens' Landing. The Eighteenth Army Corps, with the exception of the colored division at Deep Bottom, will move across that bridge and make an attack upon the enemy's line in the manner hereinafter to be detailed. At the same time the Tenth Corps will cross the pontoon bridge at Deep Bottom and make in like manner, and at the same time, demo
