riven to the boats.
As soon as this danger was passed so many boats were released, that I could have moved but a small force at one time.
I wrote you fully on the subject of the Yazoo expedition a few days ago.
If you do not receive at least one letter and two dispatches per week from me, general, be assured that some of them miscarry.
In addition, I will telegraph as often as any thing may occur of importance.
General Grant to General Halleck.—(telegram.) Young's point, La., March 31, 1863.
I have ordered the release of all boats that can be spared, for General Rosecrans.
General Grant to General Halleck.—(Cipher telegram.) Young's point, La., April 2, 1863.
In two weeks I expect to be able to collect all my forces and turn the enemy's left.

I reconnoitred the place yesterday with Admiral Porter and General Sherman.

General Breckinridge's reply to General Bragg's report of the battle of Murfreesboro.
[It is, perhaps, proper that we should supplement our publication of General Breckinridge's report by the following letter:]
headquarters Breckinridge's division, Tullahoma, March 31, 1863. To S. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector-General, Richmond, Va.:
Sir,—Two days ago I read General Braxton Bragg's official report of the battles of Stone River, before Murfreesboro, and after a proper time for reflection think it my duty to send you this communication.
I cannot conceal from myself the fact that so much of the report as refers to my command (except some general compliments to the courage of a portion of my troops on Wednesday, the 31st December) is in tone and spirit a thorough disparagement of both.
This tone runs through all its parts, and lies like a broad foundation underneath the whole.
At the same time the narrative of events is made to sustain the general spirit.
