Dispatch mentioning evacuation of Corinth and movement of
troops and guns down the road received. Down what road did they
move ? Have you ordered Thrall's battery at Columbus over to

General LEE,
Jackson, Miss.:
General Forrest reports that his scouts inform him 5,000 cavalry
and 4,000 infantry at La Grange preparing to move on Grenada. I
suggest the expediency of your recalling General Adams and having
your command in hand. Has Colonel Ross returned to his position
from the swamp? If not, recall him also. I have ordered Waties'
battery at Brandon to hold itself subject to your order. I will order:
Wilbourn's regiment to report to you.
