Assistant Adjutant-General.

KNOXVILLE, August 13, 1863.

General A. E. JACKSON,

Jonesborough:

Your information in reference to stampeders is too uncertain to justify me in stripping more important points on such an uncertainty. Let your scouts and cavalry trace the route of stampeders. If they move, direct your cavalry from Clinch Mountain to send news to cavalry beyond at Cumberland Gap. I have cavalry enough in that vicinity to head them off, if you will send couriers in advance to give advices of their movements. Send information also to General Preston. I cannot keep a battalion for you in every hamlet of your district, but if the cavalry you have do their duty, and you send information in advance to General Preston and the gap, such a party if it moves, can be intercepted. Keep me advised,and telegraph General Frazer at Cumberland Gap at same time if the party moves.

S. B. BUCKNER,

Major-General, Commanding.
