July 22, 1862.

Col. J. B. FRY:

I have information this morning, which I consider reliable, as it comes from several independent sources and from our own scouts and several Union citizens, that Forrest started from the neighborhood of McMinnville for Lebanon on Friday with 1,000 men. He was to have been back on Saturday; has not returned. A train took the Twenty-first Kentucky to Murfreesborough. This finishes the movement of troops ordered from this to that point. One.of the trains is ordered to carry through the telegraph party, making repairs as they go.

W. S. SMITH,
Brigadier-General.
