Captain G. H. LAIRD,

Falmouth, Ky., via Louisville:

General Burbridge expects to strike Morgan at or near Cynthiana this morning. I have telegraphed General Heitzelman to send re- enforcements from Covington. The six guns and 300 men at Falmouth better await the arrival of more troops before pushing on. Send out scouts; ascertain if Burbridge is fighting; if so, do all you can to have a force pushed against Morgan's rear at once.

Brigadier General S. S. FRY,

Camp Nelson, Ky.:

Courier just from General Burbridge. The general left Paris at 10 p. m., and expected to attack rebels at Cynthiana at daybreak. Please obtain information by scouts for me where a force of ours, ordered to vacate Irvine come here, via Richmond, is. It should have been at Richmond yesterday afternoon. I heard from Richmond yesterday forenoon; all quiet there; our troops not seen. Colonel Weatherford is at Lebanon with Thirteenth Kentucky Cavalry. His orders are to hold Lebanon and keep a lookout toward Danville and Bardstown. My information from Louisville is that ample re- enforcements will be furnished. I shall try to get some to you as soon as possible. In the mean time please keep your scouts well out, and send me any information of importance.
