RALEIGH, February 13, 1865.

(Received 12. 30.)

Honorable J. A. CAMBELL:

All the reserves are in the field under department and district commanders. I have no men. Greensborough would be a better position for prisoners. If the Junior Reserve can be spared they could constitute guard enough.

TH. H. HOLMES,

Lieutenant-General.
