General JOSEPH E. JOHNSON, Jackson:
Before receiving your letters I had countermanded orders to Texas cavalry; also directed Lieutenant-Colonel Waddy not to send forward any more troops until further orders. A brigade at lest should go, I think, to Port Hudson; if you prefer, one Stevenson's from Jackson; also a good field battery with rifle guns in it. The fleet may bombard us to-morrow, but if all is quiet I shell probably go to Jackson.
