President JEFFERSON DAVIS,
Richmond, Va.:
Generals Steele and A. J. Smith are reported to be re-enforcing Gen-

re-enforce General Hood in Middle Tennessee, or take offensive in Mis-
souri - His assistance is absolutely necessary at this time.

SECRETARY OF WAR:
If General Smith can now act as suggested it would be well that he
should do so. There is no objection to his being called on, but he has
failed heretofore to respond to like necessities, and no plans should be
based on his compliance.
