Major-General SHERMAN:

General Sweeny's command did not reach Quinn's Mill last night. I am informed by cavalry just in that they will probably not get there before to-night. Your orders to the two regiments were promptly sent forward. Will telegraph as soon as they are heard from.

Respectfully,

D. C. ANTHONY,

Colonel, Commanding.

COLLIERVILLE, October 16, 1863.

Major-General SHERMAN:

General Sweeny arrived at Quinn's Mill at 12 m. to-day. Your two regiments will push on and reach here at about 4 or 5 o'clock.

Colonel, Commanding.

Major-General SHERMAN:

An extra is waiting at Collierville in accordance with your telegram of yesterday. The agent telegraphs me that he thinks the two regiments will not be there to-day. There is an ambulance train at Collierville asking for transportation to La Grange with 20 wounded men and 30 mules. Shall I ship them? What regiments are they that you wish sent to Corinth? Answer.
