NASHVILLE,
July 14, 1862.

Col. J. B. FRY:

I have no positive information that the enemy have left Murfreesborough. Several soldiers have arrived from there who escaped last night; they saw nothing of the enemy to-day. Captain Chilson left a point 14 miles this side Murfreesborough at 10 a. m. to-day (La Vergne), and saw nothing of the enemy; reports from citizens that the enemy came to La Vergne to-day. My scouts have been out all day and have not returned. Patrols who have been out 10 and 12 miles neither saw nor heard of the enemy. Citizens report 200 cavalry 16 miles from here on Nolensville pike. I have scouts out in every direction to find position of enemy if possible. All quiet. I am prepared.

JNO. F. MILLER.
