Do Richmond papers of 6th say nothing about Vicksburg, or if anything, what?

TO GENERAL H. W. HALLECK.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON January 7, 1863.
MAJOR-GENERAL HALLECK.
MY DEAR SIR:—What think you of forming a reserve cavalry corps of, say, 6000 for the Army of the Potomac? Might not such a corps be constituted from the cavalry of Sigel's and Slocum's corps, with scraps we could pick up here and there?
Yours truly,
A. LINCOLN. [ [!-- H2 anchor --] ]
