KNOXVILLE, TENN.,
July 6, 1862.

Brig. Gen. C. L. STEVENSON,
Commanding Division, Bean’s Station:

GENERAL:
I am instructed by the major-general commanding to say that difficulties in the organization of an expedition into Middle Tennessee from Chattanooga made it necessary for him to order Colonel Morrison from Kingston to that district. Colonel Scott’s First Louisiana Cavalry has been ordered from Chattanooga to Kingston, and will remain there until the return of Colonel Morrison from the expedition.

Respectfully, your obedient servant,

J. F. BELTON,
Aide-de-Camp.
