Brevet Major-General WILSON:

But two steamers, which take from four to five days to come from Savannah. Transportation is very scarce, and there are no flats. If you will forward the order to quartermaster at Hilton Head, he may seize boats there. The river is very low, three and one-half feet draft.

E. L. MOLINEUX,

Brevet Brigadier-General.

Honorable Joshua Hill and General Wayne desire to visit Washington, probably via Savannah. Shall I grant as far as my power extends? I am here without official instructions and have no immediate communication with Savannah, and request your instructions in the meantime.
