The above is a correct copy, as far as recollected, of field officers and Captains of the corps of Tennessee Artillery as filed by me in my communication, on the 7th day of Jannary, 1862, to Maj .- gen. Leonidas Polk, to be by him submitted to the Honorable Secretary of War. I sup- posed that Capts. Jones and Eldridge belonged to the corps of Tennessee Artillery, but of this fact I have not been officially advised by His Excellency the Governor of Tennessee. Capt. A P. Griffith was omitted in the original communication, but I know he belongs to the Tennessee Corps of Artillery, and was so appointed by His Excellency Governor Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee, and is now on duty at Hopkinsville, Ky, under Gen. Clark, as com- mander of a light battery. MILTON A. HAYNES,
