NASHVILLE,
July 22, 1862.

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.
