L. T. LINDSEY,

Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.

OFFICE ARTILLERY, Corinth, Miss., November 27, 1864.

Captain REID,

Inspector at Post:

CAPTAIN: I have the honor to report that, as yet, there is only one battery at this is a howitzer battery of four brass pieces, commanded by Captain Thrall, from General Forrest's command. In conjunction with this report I would respectfully suggest that, after an inspection of the works around this post (accompanied by Major Wintter, chief engineer), it is my opinion that for military defense there should be at least sixteen pieces of artillery in the works of the post-this is the minimum amount that will be necessary for defense of the place-and then not one-half the artillery positions will be occupied. These guns should be of the following description: 1 battery (4 pieces) Parrotts, 1 battery (4 pieces) Napoleons, 2 batteries (8 pieces) howitzers; total, 4 batteries (16 pieces).

I would respectfully call the attention of the general commanding to this statement, and request attention at earliest practicable moment.

I am, captain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

J. W. ELDRIDGE,

Major, Commanding Artillery at Post.
