Hogs are plenty, but will require lard to fry the meat. The farms are will stocked with cows, calves, and a few sheep. The people are ignorant, but not ill-tempered. Our forces excite childish curiosity.

Major-General.

Moore's Spring, Ala., September 2., 1863.Major-General THOMAS,
Commanding Fourteenth Army Corps:
GENERAL: I send copy of communication of 1`p.m. to-day, which I sent per Captain Wildon, General Beatty's staff, who proposed crossing at Bridgeport, but may be prevented by the falling of the bridge. Since then General Sheridan's division has arrived here, and rather unceremoniously assumed a part of my camping-ground. I was consequently compelled to halt my third brigade one-half mile back.

JAS. S. NEGLEY,
Major-General.
