General C. 8S. HAMILTON, Corinth, Miss. :
General Quinby will probably be in Corinth to-morrow, and General Dodge as soon as relieved by General Davies.
Canât you get up an expedition to go down the railroad and destroy it far to the south? If done, the cavalry should go in torce to Tupelo or farther south, supported by a division of infantry as far down as Guntown or that vicinity.
JACKSON, October 25, 1862. General C. S. HAMILTON, Corinth, Miss. :
Make your preparations and execute the suggestions made in my former dispatch as rapidly as possible.
CORINTH, October 25, 1862. General GRANT, Jackson :
It is believed here that Price has been largely re-enforced from Texas and Arkansas. There are indications that he is moving this way. Deserters say he is going to attack Corinth. I have large cavalry force to scout to the west. Aim pushing the fortifications as fast as possible.
C. S. HAMILTON, Brigadier- General.
