HUNTSVILLE,
June 8, 1862.

Generid BUELL:
Colonel Lester telegraphs me that the enemy, 1,000 strong, have reached a point 8 miles south of McMinnville, and intends to attack Murfreesborough. Two regiments have been ordered to that place. I do not know that reliance ought to be placed on these reports. One thing is certain, that is the region which ought now to be strongly occupied.

O. M. MITCHEL,
Major-General.
