July 6, 1862.

General BRAXTON BRAGG,
Tupelo, Miss.:

It is reported by General Heth at Chattanooga that Buell has concentrated a large force at Huntsville. Reports from other sources that Federal troops are passing through Nashville by rail into Kentucky. My cavalry has been pushed into Kentucky and Middle Tennessee, and I am mobilizing my command for movement on General Morgan or into Middle Tennessee, as circumstances may demand.

E. KIRBY SMITH,
Major-General, Commanding.
