General D. C. BUELL:

Trestle work at Duck River washed away; it is also reported that Franklin Bridge is gone. One of my citizens, come from Hickman, just in. Reports the arrival at Lick Creek of a considerable force of rebel cavalry from across Tennessee River; that they intend attacking this point. They obtained a supply of ammunition near New Spring Hill last night. Will send you further particulars.
