TANTALON,
July 15, 1862.

General D. C. BUELL:

An engine has just returned to this place. It left Tullahoma at 4 o’clock p. m. General Smith at Tullahoma. The enemy have burnt a small bridge this side of Murfreesborough. This news I got from the engineer. The operator will be at Elk River to-morrow as soon as we can have him carried.
