JACKSON, April 2, 1863.
President JEFFERSON DAVIS, Richmond:
A demonstration is now being made in large force at Hard Times. It
is indispensable that I have more cavalry. The approaches to Northern
Mississippi are almost unprotected, and it is impossible with infantry to
prevent these raids.

General J. C. PEMBERTON:
Accounts come to us of the enemy landing at Locopolis. They will
do this if they can, and move upon Grenada or some other point on the
Yalabusha. It will be necessary after the waters subside to send a force
to check them. Before learning of re-enforcements, I ordered General
George here, keeping a regiment at Tuscahoma.

Put another heavy gun in position at Snyder's Mill at once. Remove
