HEADQUARTERS,
Huntsville, July 12, 1862.

General THOMAS T. CRITTENDEN,
Murfreesborough:

The Twenty-third Brigade, under Colonel Duffield, has been ordered to move for McMinnville as soon as the Eighteenth Ohio reaches Tullahoma; probably on the 15th. Special Orders, No. 89, requires the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry to take post as follows: Two companies at Nashville, six companies and headquarters at Murfreesborough, two companies at Tullahoma, and two companies at Cowan. Find the commanding officer of the regiment and direct him to move his companies accordingly, except to have one company at Shelbyville for a few days and to report when the movement is completed. I am unable thus far to find out where all the companies of this regiment are. Acknowledge.

JAMES B. FRY,
Chief of Staff.
