HEADQUARTERS, June 3, 18162.

General HALLECK:

I have placed General W. S. Smith in charge of the work on the railroad to Decatur. He is a graduate of the Academy; has had somewhat extensive experience in that branch of civil engineering, and withal is an officer of remarkable industry and energy. I will answer for the rapid prosecution of the work under his charge.

D. C. BUELL.

HEADQUARTERS, June 3, 1862.

Captain GREENE, Nashville:

Has Mr. Anderson returned? If not, and the contractors for the Nashville bridge are at Nashville, request them to examine the railroad to Decatur, and state the lowest price and the earliest day at which they will agree to put it in order.

D. C. BUELL.

HEADQUARTERS, June 3, 1862.

Captain MACFEELY, Nashville:

Make your preparations to supply General Buell's army from Nashville; that is, see how it is to be done, and be ready to get in the supplies on further notice, but don't bring them to Nashville yet by making your inquiries and subsequently in getting your supplies. The general enjoins as much secrecy as possible. He does not wish to attract attention.

Chief of Staff.
