Canton, Miss., January 28, 1864
 
Colonel Jack,
Assistant Adjutant-General, Meridian
 
   I am informed through General Maury that special orders were issued on the 25th directing Swanson's regiment, Clanton's brigade, to proceed forthwith to Northern Virginia, via railroad, through Columbia, S.C., and Greensborough, N. C., and Danville, Va.
   As soon as the orders reach you send an inspector at once to Montgomery, where the regiment now is, to hasten its departure. It will be replaced by O'Neal's Alabama regiment.
L. Polk
Lieutenant-General
