Major B. H. POLK,

Assistant Adjutant - General, Nashville:

General Granger telegraphs that a citizen reported rebel cavalry, about 1,000 strong, at Williamson's Mill, nine miles north of Larkinsville. I do not credit this, but think there may be a considerable number of bushwhackers on Paint Rock, which is a noted place for them. I have ordered out scouting party to learn the truth of this report.
