Major T. T. ECKERT:
Very little change in the situation within two days. Two DIVISIONS of Schofield's corps withdrawn from Northwestern railroad and sent to join Stanley, in the vicinity of Pulaski. No news from Hood, which looks like activity on his part; in fact, all the streams are so high as to prevent any movement for the present.
