BOLIVAR, July 27, 1862.
General MOOLERNAND : Dollins has just sent a messenger stating that he tried to capture and destroy the ferry-boat at Estanaula, but was driven back this morning. My forces had not joined him, but were near him. He wants infantry re-enforcements, and says he will whip them before he leaves there. 1 can’t spare any of my forces.
ROSS.
