JUNE 1, 1862.
General HALLECK,
Headquarters:
My cavalry, sent off to-day, has just returned and reports officially. Proceeded by Modlin's and Concord Church to Chewalla. Excellent road. At Chewalla learned that by some mistake the enemy had destroyed the bridge 4 miles west of Chewalla too soon and prevented four trains from passing; that the trains were burned and locomotives damaged and left on the road.

W. T. SHERMAN,
Major-General.
