CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.-CONFEDERATE.
OXFORD, February 9, 1864.
General CHALMERS,
Panola :
Dispatch received. Have twice given orders in regard to trans-
portation of First Mississippi Partisans. Obey the orders previously
given or turn over your command to McCulloch and report to me for
orders.
N. B. FORREST,
Major-General.
OXFORD, February 9, 1864-5.40 p. m.
General CHALMERS,
Panola :
I will not come over to-morrow. Get Thrall's battery up and keep
sharp lookout. I am of opinion the real move is in direction of
Okolona and Meridian. Keep your force well in hand, so as to move
at once if necessary. Watch at Belmont with your battery. Send
pickets to Burlingham. Your explanation is satisfactory.
N. B. FORREST,
.ajor- General.
PANOLA, MISS.,
February 9, 1864-9.30 p. m.
Major-General FORREST,
Oxford :
If the real movement is on Okolona, how would it do for the two
brigades here to attack the force in front and try to drive them into
Memphis ?
JAS. R. CHALMERS,
Brigadier- General.
OXFORD, February 9, 1864.
General CHALMERS,
Panola :
Do not allow your command to engage a superior force. Fall back
to the river and defend the crossings.
N. B. FORREST,
Major-General.
Lieut. Gen. L. POLKOBILE, February 10, 1864.
Lieut. Gen. L. POLK:
Can you spare two field batteries ? Please send me Colonel Steed-
man's regiment to serve as, heavy artillery. I require eight to ten
teams for each brigade. The force you name seems to me fully as
much as should be here.
D. H. MAURY,
Major-General.CnAP. XLIJ '
