Brigadier-General BOYLE, Commanding, &c., Louisville, Ky.:
General Rosecrans wishes to withdraw Grangerâs brigade and Stokesâ battery from Bowling Green. Send there three of the four regiments new on the line of the railroad, and Andrewsâ battery. The railroad must be protected by the remaining regiment and such detachments as may be required from Munfordville. Report your opinion as to the adequacy of this protection to the line. Bowling Green will be strengthened by a convalescent camp from General Rosecransâ army.
