d, we suppose here means residing or captured in the neighborhood. On July 7th we have an interesting despatch to General Garrard on the subject of the destruction of the factories at Rosswell. Their utter destruction is right, and meets my entih prisoners as if armed. On the same day he further enlarges on this subject in a despatch to General Halleck: General Garrard reports to me that he is in possession of Rosswell, where were several very valuable cotton and wool factories in fund the owner of the woollen factory displayed the French flag, but as he failed also to show the United States flag, General Garrard burned it also. The main cotton factory was valued at a million of United States dollars. The cloth on hand is reserved for the use of the United States hospitals; and I have ordered General Garrard to arrest for treason all owners and employees, foreign and native, and send them to Marietta, whence I will send them North. Being exempt from conscription, they

roads. The cavalry did not get into action; troops were detached and sent to Hamburg and other points, making deductions amounting to at least 8,000, leaving those actually engaged at 30,773, so that either estimate would put the entire Federal force more than twice that of the Confederate. The battle. Brigadier-General John K. Jackson was placed in command of my brigade, which, on April 6, consisted of the 2d Texas and the 17th, 18th, and 19th Alabama Regiments of infantry, and General Garrard's Battery, but after giving the first orders to move forward the duties performed by them were such that the command of the brigade devolved upon me, the orders I received coming directly from the commanding general, Albert Sidney Johnston, and Generals Bragg, Hardee, and Withers. William Preston Johnston, in his life of General Johnston, page 602, says: At Shiloh there was much dislocation of commands. * * * Everybody seemed to have assumed authority to command a junior officer, an

all the cavalry of the original army of the Cumberland, for on this date he had a cavalry force equipped for duty, of 5,500 men. See his return of November 20. Wilson distinctly states in his report: All the serviceable horses of McCook's and Garrard's divisions and Colonel Garrard's brigade were turned over to the Third [Kilpatrick's] division, and every effort was made to put it upon a thoroughly efficient footing; while the dismounted men of the First and Second divisions were ordered by Colonel Garrard's brigade were turned over to the Third [Kilpatrick's] division, and every effort was made to put it upon a thoroughly efficient footing; while the dismounted men of the First and Second divisions were ordered by rail to Louisville, Kentucky, for removal and equipment. These were the only troops dismounted for Sherman. On the 25th, Grant telegraphed to Halleck: I think it advisable to send orders to Missouri that all the troops coming from there should receive their directions from General Thomas, and not listen to conflicting orders. These instructions were promptly carried out, and Thomas was made absolute master of all the troops within his territorial command. On the 27th, he announced the app

al rule. The Unionists therefore determined to dispute the possession of the country with them. Gathering around Colonel Garrard, a highly-esteemed chief, in Eastern Kentucky, they hastened to arm and organize. They had selected as their rallyih of inactivity, Zollicoffer made an attempt to surprise the Federal camp, where no one ever expected to see him again. Garrard's force, consisting of the skeletons of three regiments, only numbered six hundred effective men, three hundred of them y arrived in front of the Federal positions on the 21st. Through his want of activity he lost the opportunity of taking Garrard unawares. The latter, having resolved to defend himself, even without reinforcements, was waiting with his small band f the 20th, he would probably have obtained an easy victory; but General Schopf, hastening during the night to respond to Garrard's call, arrived with two regiments of infantry and one of cavalry.

Before retiring Garrard made an attempt to destroy an unfinished ship of war which lay moored to the opposite shore by firing cannon-shots into her, but did not succeed, and soon resumed hih he sent a detachment from the left of the main column to destroy the railroad track at Dudley and Everettsville, while Garrard on the right, keeping close to the river, proceeded to Thompson's Bridge, which he found already in flames.

But the isolation of Garrard, who is stationed with only two regiments at Rogersville, and is sention of the Southerners, who are burning to wreak vengeance upon Garrard for the repulse experienced at Blue Springs.

Jones finds that the fording-place indicated to him is too near Garrard's camp, and decides, in the evening of the 5th, to cross the Holstuntil the other should give the signal for the attack.

march is delayed, and he joins the Army of the Ohio only in the middle of the month of December. In fine, Willcox, who occupies Cumberland Gap and its approaches with the Fourth division of the Twenty-third corps and three thousand horse under Garrard and Graham, has not lost an instant in trying to break, on the north side, the investment of Knoxville. His cavalry encamps at the foot of the mountain on the banks of Powell River. On the 27th, Graham is in motion; he crosses on the followingto attack it, and proceeded to the south-west to reach Blain's Crossroads by turning the extremity of the chain. While his infantry is making painful progress toward that point, where it will encounter the troops which have come from Knoxville, Garrard and Graham start ahead and join Shackelford before he has reached Bean's Station; but Parke, who has only just then set out, fearing lest the latter should involve himself in difficulty, sends him orders to halt. Shackelford therefore confines

ound. None were covered that night — or morning — save by blankets and a veneering of cold, white frost. The sick, too, in the open wagons, lay shuddering and shivering and moaning in the sharp, cutting atmosphere of a November morning. The 17th Ohio halted and bivouacked at two o'clock, in the camp which Zollicoffer's rebels had occupied the night before their repulse. I have told you where the Tennesseeans were, but I know not where was the remainder of the brigade. The Kentucky 3d, (Garrard's,) I believe, did not move that night. I know not why. The 38th Ohio and the 33d Indiana pushed forward to the summit of Wild Cat, and halted not long before day. The teams were also moving all night long. The necessity to carry the sick obliged us to leave much stores and ammunition. I am told we left twenty-two tons of ammunition at London. And yet, readers, we are making a forced march to prevent the enemy from cutting us off, or to save Blue Grass. Strange that soldiers sh

have moved forward on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad to make room for the regiments constantly arriving. If preparations mean anything, a forward movement will certainly take place at an early day. Prankport, Dec. 9. --Col Garrard writes from London on Saturday afternoon, that Gen. G. B. Crittenden is at the Cumberland Gap with a large force, and that 5,000 troops at Morristown are coming to join him. He says Crittenden has thirty days rations, and fears that he will invays rations, and fears that he will invade Kentucky from that point. The Tennessee brigade and Col Garrard's regiments having gone to Sommerset, there are no troops to check Crittenden. Cincinnati, Dec. 16. --Gov. Magoffin is said to be much exasperated at the attempt of the rebels to set up a Provisional Government for Kentucky in the Southwestern corner of the State. It is believed that he is willing to co-operate more heartily now than heretofore with the Union Legislature.

rebel regiment, states that one of the shells fired from this battery killed eighteen of the enemy. The two Tennessee regiments have marched five miles in the direction of Cumberland Ford, towards which some movement is anticipated. Col. DeCourcy, of the Sixteenth Ohio, is encamped four miles above Somerset, on the Stanford road, and as near London as he would be at the former place. Col. Ray, Forty-ninth Indiana, is at Hall's Gap. It is probable he will march on the Mt. Vernon road. Col. Garrard, Seventh Kentucky, is at Crab Orchard, Col. Mundy's battalion of cavalry is to form part of Gen. Carter's force. Wetmore's battery is to encamp at Somerset. Gen. Schospt's brigade is encamped on the road from Somerset to Waitsburg, on the Cumberland. He will move into Tennessee, on the Monticello road, as soon as he receives supplies of provisions and means of crossing the river. General Thomas's headquarters are at Somerset. He, too, is waiting for rations, and will, in a short time
