HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY CORPS,
Near University Place,
July 4, 1863—2 a. m.

A scout sent by General Wharton to the top of the mountain reports that he found a regiment of cavalry in line of battle about 3 1/2 miles distant from this point, and evidences of infantry near by. We heard considerable firing of cannon, which we could not tell whether intended for shelling the woods or Fourth of July guns.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JOS. WHEELER,
Major-General.

Lieut. Gen. LEONIDAS POLK.
