Commanding, London, Tenn.:

Forward the following dispatch to commanding officer at Kingston, with instructions to send it immediately to Colonel Morgan:

Federal troops in large numbers are reported passing by rail through Nashville to Kentucky. It may be re-enforcements for McClellan. If you verify this you will do great good by burning their line of transportation.
