General COOPER:

Reported from Pensacola Farragut was there last Wednesday, with eight mortar-boats and four steamers, to attack Grant's Pass to-morrow. His fleet reported off Mobile Bay. My present effective strength is 10,050 of all arms. I need 6,000 additional good infantry to hold the place long and successfully. Have plenty of breadstuffs. Have fair supply of other subsistence. Need ordnance. Need experienced heavy artillerist, and some clever engineers - engineers experienced under fire. Sherman reported to have left Vicksburg with 25,000 infantry, 25 guns, 2,000 cavalry; to have destroyed Southern Railroad, and Breaking up bridges behind him.
