NASHVILLE, July 13, 1862.

Col. J. B. FRY:

Courier just in from Murfreesborough reports that our forces were surprised there at daylight this morning by Starnes with 2,500 men and cut to pieces. I have telegraphed General Negley. Starnes will likely go toward Franklin, but may come here. We will be ready for them. I have sent cavalry in the direction of Murfreesborough.

JNO. F. MILLER,
Colonel, Commanding.
