to regiments supposed not to be represented by prisoners captured in Kentucky and how many at each place.

There were 3 captured in Mississippi; Fort Donelson, 1 or 2 (I speak only from recollection); Mill Springs, Ky.1. The balance of those not captured in Kentucky were captured in Tennessee, principally at Gallatin and in the vicinity, I think, of Nashville. The whole number reported here captured out of the State is 215; of these 57, possibly more, were brought in subsequent to the report that was first made of prisoners captured and subsequent to my first examination by the court.

Question. When were the others brought in?

Nineteen were brought in previous to the 12th November and subsequent to the 1st of October, the time at which my report of prisoners begins; 18 between the 12th of November and the 18th of November; 36 between the 18th and 29th of November; 14 between the 29th of November and the 5th of December; 53 between the 5th of December and the 13th of the same month; 15 between the 13th December and the 29th of the same month; and 57 between the 29th of December and the 14th of January; making, I think, 72 subsequent to my first examination by the court. That is exclusive of 3 that were captured in Mississippi, which came in previous to the 12th of November and subsequent to the 1st of October, and 1 between the 5th December and the 13th of the same month.

Question. Now, can you identify more precisely the place, with the date of capture, of these several batches; I mean those represented as not having been captured in Kentucky?

I could with the said of my parole-book. I did not suppose it was necessary in making out the report, as three is a large number of names of insignificant places which I could not find on the map but only know they were in Tennessee; and the majority of the prisoners being in the vicinity of the two places I did mention I did not copy in the report any of the names of places at which the prisoners were captured in Tennessee.

Question. Mention, if you please, in the vicinity of what places the majority of the prisoners were taken-as many as you remember?

The majority of the prisoners, according to my recollection, were taken in the vicinity of Nashville and Gallatin. There were also prisoners from Franklin, from Murfreesborough, perhaps from Shelbyville. Those, I believe, were all the places whose names I now remember.

Question. Were they generally cavalry or infantry regiments?

That I could not answer. My attention was not called to it and my memory is not therefore charged with it.

Question. Is there anything that would indicate to your mind that they belonged to cavalry regiments and which operated upon the borders of Kentucky at the time of the invasion of the State by Bragg?

I do not think I could answer your question, sir.

Question. How does this last report of yours affect the statement made in the first as to the number of regiments, battalions, squadrons, batteries, and companies that belonged to the force which invaded Kentucky last summer and fall?

Excluding the Forty-ninth Tennessee, about which I am uncertain, it appearing both among those captured out of and among those captured in the State, there are five less infantry regiments represented in the State than those embraced in the first report; one cavalry battalion less and one cavalry regiment more; batteries the same; one infantry battalion more.

Question. What reasons have you heard given by persons connected with the rebel army for the limited number of sick persons belonging to that army that were left on the line of march from Chattanooga?

I conversed with a number of rebel officers and soldiers, and particularly with surgeons, in regard to that fact, it being a matter of curiosity to me, and was told by them that it was owing to the fact that when Bragg started from Chattanooga he had twenty days' rations, and that as fast as his wagons which carried the rations
