Major-General BUELL:

I have just received the following dispatch from Colonel Miller. Have you any instructions in the premises?

General NEGLEY:
Enemy, 2,000 or 2,500 strong, burned the Mill Creek Bridge yesterday evening;
camped 12 miles from here, on Murfreesborough road. Started this morning toward
Murfreesborough in pursuit of wagon train with 360 Indiana troops, who were on road
to Murfreesborough about 12 miles this side. Colonel Boone, Gallatin, [telegraphs]
that enemy were at Richland Station 1,000 strong, and he wants re-enforcements.
Can you send me re-enforcements? If so, how many men?

JNO. F. MILLER,
