General Rousseau, commanding the district of Nast- ‘villo, was lately ordered to extend his district from Door. riveto the Tennessee river; and: along the line of tho Neshville and railroad south of thas stroam, and to call it the District.of Tennessee, This extension of territory gave him commando the defences of four of the most tmportant raitroads in the military division of the Mississippi, and, in view of the position of our army, certainly as Important a subordinate command as could be given to him. He found that only a certain force could be spared tohim. This he considered inadequate to de- fend the district thoroughly; and endeavored to inorease the strengtt of “his command by the erection of strong earthworks and biockhouses at every point of im- portance in thé?district, This. work bas progressed ‘with great vigor under the charge of about fifteen local and travelling inspectors, and most of the points are now well protected ‘by such works as I have indicated.
