herman, Smith and Davis, was under the orders of General Thomas, who at the beginning of the war had distinguished himself at Mill Springs. Buell commanded the army of the Ohio, which he had so opportunely led to the battle-field of Shiloh, comprising the divisions of McCook, Wood, Nelson and Crittenden. The army of the Mississippi, which Pope had brought from Missouri, and to which Curtis had contributed some reinforcements from Arkansas, consisted of the five small divisions of Stanley, Hamilton, Palmer, Paine and Plummer; a distinguished officer, General Granger, commanded its cavalry. The reserve was composed of the divisions of Wallace and McClernand, and was under command of the latter. Grant had been deprived of all effective directions by having been appointed second in command of the whole army. Whether Halleck doubted his capacity, or was desirous in the event of a reverse to shift a portion of the responsibility upon this modest and hard-working man, he had placed Gran

erton. The latter had two lines of defence, formed by two rivers, the Tallahatchie and the Yallabusha, which after their junction take the name of Yazoo, already familiar to us, both of which cross the Mississippi Central Railroad between Grand Junction and Grenada. Pemberton had fortified the banks of the Tallahatchie, and was within reach of that stream with the greater portion of his army. Grant's army was divided into two separate commands; the two divisions from Corinth were under Hamilton, the other three divisions had been brought over from Boliver by McPherson. The latter had occupied Lamar with ten thousand men since the 8th of November; on the 13th, his vanguard was at Holly Springs, the first important station after Grand Junction. The Federal cavalry, both numerous and active, extended far and wide, and reached the banks of the Tallahatchie, toward which Grant was leading all his forces. He had then seventy-two thousand men under his command, but the necessity of o

ear of the two wings, they were defended by a number of works. The right of this position comprised the group of hills which separate Deep Run from the Massaponax before these two water-courses enter the plain. This range of hills terminates at the north-west on the borders of Deep Run, at a point called Bernard's Cabin, and at the south-east in Prospect Hill, behind which the Massaponax pursues its winding course. Upon the slope of Prospect Hill is situated the handsome residence of Captain Hamilton; a little lower down a road detached from the Telegraph Road traverses the property, and crossing the railway track on a level strikes the old Richmond Road, twelve hundred metres beyond. The latter road, as we have said, follows a direction across the plain, nearly parallel to the Rappahannock, at a distance of one or two kilometres from its banks. The railroad, after successively crossing Hazel Run and Deep Run at some hundred metres above the road, touches the hills in front of Be

s rise, runs along the boundary-line of the States of Virginia and North Carolina, and on the borders of which are successively to be met the villages of Weldon, Hamilton, Williamston and Plymouth. Albemarle Sound extends northward, between the mainland and the sand-bank by which it is bounded, almost as far as Cape Henry, in Vire entrance of the pass, at the point called the Peninsula of Bolivar, which faces the island of Galveston. In the mean while, a naval division conveying Governor M. Hamilton, with the reinforcements promised by Banks and the necessary provisions, had left New Orleans between the 25th and the 29th of December. Unfortunately, a stillness of nature seemed to have possessed and stupefied the energies of the Federal chiefs. Just as the sun was about to set, the steamer Boardman, with Governor Hamilton on board, entered the passes; the Westfield, Renshaw's flagship, had gone to meet him, and was escorting him. These two vessels sailed close to the ruins of

He has ordered another column of a division or more toersection of the Telegraph road, where they will divide with a view to seizing the heights on both these roads. Holding these heights, with the heights near Captain Hamilton's, will, I hope, compel the enemy to evacuate the whole ridge between these points.
