TWO MILES SOUTH OF HILLSBOROUGH,
April 15, 1865-6. 30 p. m.
General WHEELER:
GENERAL: Your two dispatches of 6. 40 a. m. and 1. 45 p. m. are just received. There has been no advance of the enemy on this front to-day. As the infantry have now a good start, it will not be necessary for you to engage the enemy seriously unless you can strike their cavalry. I hope that you will make a squadron retire on the direct road to Hillsborough, if you fall back beyond that point. You shall hear from me to-morrow.
WADE HAMPTON,
Lieutenant-General.
GREENSBOROUGH, N. C., April 15, 1865.

I parted from General Beauregard this morning and I cannot judge of the orders given by him, they not having been communicated to m. e Another telegram on the same subject as yours has been referred to General Beauregard, and I will send your also. I would be glad in any proper manner to serve the people of Danville. You will recognize the impropriety of my countermanding his orders on a question of details in his operations.
JEFF'N DAVIS.

General G. T. BEAUREGARD, Commanding, &c.:
SIR: I have the honor to again invite your attention to the wishes of the President in connection with the coin of the Confederate States remaining in my hands, as indicated in his order addressed to you, which I had the honor to communicate to you on yesterday.
