It fts unnecessary to repeat all thkt was ,»fdLd and attcmptodi it is enough for me to say to you today, and'for jifiaetime past, the best of feelings exist in the reg- •od officers. That the regiment should ^ October, 1863. continue to improve and grow in strength amid all the opposition, has convinced euLl that the best thing for all to do, is to sustain their t - w . coramaiiding officer. Those who have preferred charges ^against me have • • • . all v/ithdrawn them (and that of their own free wi 11 and accord) and have made all the acknowledgements T desire and have promised to dis- • I *- - . charge faithfully their duty in the. ^future. Everything in the regiment • « tw> . is in a satisfactory condition. . ^ vie now number 893 strong, ^e have drawn Enfield rifles and have the regiment w-^ll armed and equipped. I have^long since taken charge of the drill of the regiment. TheTOffleers have recited the whole of the regulations to me sind ^bout ha^f of^tha jt^^ics. The off's school is.increasing in "nterest every day. I am now drilling officers smd men in the school of the soldier, directing the drill in person. I permit nothing to be taught to men or officers not in Tactics, have improved very mych in many things. Thp^dy^y requirj^^^bjjj^the regiment has been done in the very .best manner. J^he time it has ]3eon very heavy, and in some cases the men have been on two and thro e days without rest, yet we have had but little complalninff. In a word, thoy surpass our highest expectations. Te feel proud of our regimont. The b|«e?Jfing up^pf the 2nd Ala. was certainly very unjust. It would have 1)^1^ lon« ^^nce, for It wps filling rapidly when brok en up.

Gen. Hurlbut to"Gen. Dodge, Memphis, Tenn., 20th. I have receiv- _ ed yoiir letter. It is manifest "to me that all the available Infantry ^ arid Artillery of the enemy hdve "gdffe froit"here-abouts to Bragg, leaving these rascals tinder ChAlmefs and Richardcon to annoy eur road. I have seen Vaughn who brought th'^news to Colliersvilte. Ho ev idently believes It, but the story is not true. He says he was told by several f'ebei Officers particularly Capt. 'Fort- that Lee with 4000 CaValry had Joined Chalmers from Okolona, and th&C tlHfy Intended to break up rhlsroad, phasing east from Colliervlilo'tmd thence to Chatganooga. 0... That they will httcmpt the'road again as soon as they feel strong I do not" doUht. They are encarpcd, so Vaughn says, 5 miles north of Vyatt. tf an attack is made it will be at Colliervllle &r Lafayette October, 1863, . , J probably, and if the road is cut you must use your om judgment,,con-" centrating rapidly with cavalry to hang^u^on and annoy them, bringing your infantry and artillery in the rear. . . The cavalry must clos'~ with them on the f.irat fair chance. Their artillery is very badly served, and can be stampeded and.carried. A dash in their roar, sweeping off horses of dismfliunted men, would crip ple them worst of all. I have barely a guard here but on a pinch ceui throw out one good regiment of old infantry and a battery. Continual observation should be kept as regards their movements from through Holly Springs. To this Sweeney's attention should be directedand he should not spare money or any thing dlse to have con stant and accurate information. • ■ ■ With our new rifles, steady shots shoull be ablt tc cripple a » t V ^ • battery by cutting off its horses, and if onqe depirved of -their artJ."!lery, they dose all courage and will scatter before a chargo. If they do not move on us within three (^ays we must move on them.
