Major-General WILSON:
Major Gray and Captain Barker, U. S. Army, have arrived with about 17,000 rations from Savannah and some clothing. Major Gray will go back as soon as you can inform him what supplies you want. The dismounted men should now be sent, as every train bringing supplies will have to be guarded. Molineux's brigade, Nineteenth Corps, is on the way to garrison this place.
