s being uncovered by Gen, Hooker. Richmond, June 28, 1863. General --Yours of the 23d received this evening, and I hasten to reply to the point presented in relation to the forces on the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia. The hopes indulged as to our operations at the time which would intervene between the discharge of the enemy's trained troops and the substitution for them by others have been disappointed by the very error against which it was sought by warning to guard.

There were no Yankee pickets this side of Pearl river, and our pickets had reached them stream.
