| Jackson's infantry bridge guard, about 240 men, left on train to-day just
behind one of Trigg's regiments, and before the other, for
Zollicoffer {on the East Tennessee &
Virginia RR}. His artillery
bridge guard, with their guns, were left here, as the engine could
not pull all, but will leave in the morning and join the infantry
command at Zollicoffer. Colonel [R. C.] Trigg, with his two
regiments, will be telegraphed to join you at Abingdon. The regiment
at Strawberry Plains held in readiness to move when you order it.
Colonel [J. S.] Scott has been notified. If any cause should detain
Jackson
's command, Trigg is ordered to leave one of his regiments at
Zollicoffer until Jackson's command comes up. |
