NASHVILLE,
July 14, 1862.

Major-General BUELL:

Murfreesborough taken. Ninth [Michigan] and Third Minnesota Regiments and battery captured. One thousand Texan Hangers reported at McMinnville. Reliable reports are to the effect that this cavalry are followed by large infantry force under Breckinridge. There is no doubt but that this section is in great danger. A portion of the enemy from Murfreesborough will bear toward Columbia and cut the communication between you and this place.

ANDREW JOHNSON.
