Colonel KENNETT, Commanding Cavalry Division :
COLONEL: Your three dispatches in relation to the occupation of Lebanon are received, and the general directs me to say that he hag as yet no orders to occupy Lebanon, and does not know whether he will have, nor does he know anything of the enemy’s forces there; that he placed you at Hartsville
by command of General Rosecrans ; that he
is, himself, acting under orders, and does not know how long he will
remain where he is, nor where he may be ordered; that he has no orders to move your command from its present position ; that as soon as he has
he will promptly communicate them, as he will all matters of special
interest.
Most respectfully, your obedient servant,
