AUGUSTA, GA., February 7, 1865.

Brig, General A. W. REYNOLDS:

GENERAL: The men you sent down have all run off. Mr. Glenn promised that a company should be formed from them for Dearing's battery, but we have proof that he made them a speech, telling them that they were going to be taken from thim, and advising them to run off. This they did, after selling all the public property they had in camp. I hope that you will take prompt action in the case. I sent you and order yesterday from General Beauregard to send 500 men as a guard to the stores at Washington, Ga., to report to Colonel Rudler, commanding post.

D. H. HILL.

Major-General.

AUGUSTA, GA., February 7, 1865-11 a. m.

Colonel CUMMING:

COLONEL: I can't find out wherher any of the Western troops have gone out to you or not. Please let me know. If Captain Lumpkin is with your command put him in position. The two 3-inch rifles have come up for him and he can get them at any time. The Yankees got on the railroad last night. Two brigades of Wheeler's command are between them and Augusta. Make your arrangements for defense and vigilance as though they were not there.

Respectfully,

D. H. HILL,

Major-General.

If your health will permit, I consider it of great importance that you should come here at once.

It was not intended that you should abandon the line
