Lieut. Col. J. P. GARESOHE, Assistant Adjutant-General and Ohief of Staff: Reports, from good authority, reached here last night that between 400 and 500 of the enemy’s cavalry passed between Scottsville and Glasgow. R. S. GRANGER, Brigadier-General, Commanding Post. Cincinnati, Ohio, December 5, 1862. Maj. Gen. GORDON GRANGER, Lexington, Ky. : I don’t credit the information in your .etter, but it may be true. The Second Michigan and Ninth Pennsylvania were to march this morning; but, as Robert Graager telegraphs Boyle that 500 rebel cavalry are re. ported between Scottsville and Glasgow, going toward railroad, I have instructed latter, if he credits report, to delay the movement till those regiments can be replaced by other cavalry. General Rosecrans does not credit your information in regard to Morgan. HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio, December 5, 1862. If you credit Granger’s report in regard to enemy’s cavalry, you will stop the movement of the Second Michigan and Ninth Pennsylvania till you can replace them by other mounted troops, and you will employ them meanwhile to guard railroad bridge, if needful. Hasten mounting of Sixth Kentucky and the movements of the Twelfth Kentucky as much as possible. H. G@. WRIGHT, Major-General, Commanding. NASHVILLE, December 6, 1862—1 p. m. Hon. E. M.
