HEADQUARTERS,
Huntsville, July 14, 1862.

General NELSON,
Athens:

Use the train when it comes in and push with all energy. The troops at Murfreesborough surrendered at 4 o’clock p. m. yesterday. Do what seems fit when you can get forward, but report your movements. Take two batteries along.

D. C. BUELL.
