APRIL 1, 1862.

General J. C. BRECKINRIDGE:

March two brigades [at] Ramer's Station, with two batteries, to Iuka Springs, carrying two day's rations. Don't wait to cook. Inspect to see all is in order for action, and all present. The enemy has landed at Eastport, and is advancing on Iuka. A regiment of cavalry leaves here. Keep two companies to cover your front, and urge forward the balance. Where are McNairy's and Gordon's cavalry commands?

The enemy have landed four transport loads at Eastport. Those landed at Chickasaw have dropped down to Eastport. I think no danger to the bridge. No move of the enemy on land to-night, and but one large transports has come up since dark.
