The enemy have abandoned Pulaski, and are moving toward Nashville. Please have the railroad repaired to Decatur as soon as possible. Plenty of mills now in our possession. I think I will have no difficulty about supplies.

Every officer and man of this corps is charged with enforcing the conscript act, and every man subject to military duty found in our line of march will be arrested and turned over to the provost-marshal of the corps. All able-bodied men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five should be in the army, and every officer and private should use the most vigorous measures to prevent their escape.

HEADQUARTERS,
Mount Pleasant, November 25, 1864.

Brigadier-General RODDEY,

Commanding Cavalry, & c.:

General Hood directs me to inform you that the enemy have abandoned Pulaski and are going toward Nashville. In two days more he hopes to have the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad destroyed from Cowan nearly to Nashville. He desires that you will send at once all the force you can spare and destroy the railroad from Decatur to Huntsville and thence to Stevenson. You must judge of what force you will be able to spare from looking after Corinth. You will order Russell's regiment to join the force you send and assist in this work. Do not disturb the road from Decatur toward Athens. Please send forward our telegrams and mails; none have yet reached us.

A. P. MASON,

Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General.
