Major-General BUELL:
My bridge force at Murfreesborough on yesterday
p. m. expected to complete two burnt bridges by to-night. Wires cut; three
bridges over Mill Creek, division house, wood house, and water station at
Antioch, 9 miles from here, destroyed yesterday p. m. by a band of cavalry.
Shall I go on to rebuild those structures as soon as I can reach my men or
take them to ? After I get my forces to Mill Creek it will
require eight days to rebuild the bridges.
J. B. ANDERSON.
