HEADQUARTERS FOURTEENTH ARMY OORPS,
Bowling Green, November 6, 1862—8 p. m..
General McCook, Edgefield Junction, via Mitchellsville and courier line :
We have nothing from Colonel Kennett as to where heis; did he go toward Scottsville, as ordered? He has not communicated with General Crittenden, and the general does not know whether he has cavalry on his front or not. One regiment was ordered to go on General Crittenden’s front. “When Colonel Kennett marched it never reported to him. Your dispositions and intentions, as per dispatch to-day, are satisfactory. Please state the hour of your dispatches. Kngineers report heavy firing in direction of Nashville.
By order of Major-General Rosecrans :
ARTHUR C. DUCAT,
Lieutenant-Colonel and Acting Chief of Staff.
