Major Kuhn has just returned from a scout on Somerville road. Stewart's battalion is picketing Flint; has sharp skirmishing with them, getting 1 man severely wounded. Learned from citizens the rebels lost 2 killed and 2 wounded in the dash on us last evening. Major Kuhn found their parties so arranged that he could not go beyond the foot of the mountains without getting them on his rear. No other news from the quarter. Scout from Triana reports Twenty-third and Thirtieth Indiana at Triana.

General J. D. WEBSTER:
Four thousand mules will have been shipped from Saint Louis by the 1st of May; several hundred are being sent from Bowling Green and other points, now arriving. I presume, daily; 400 are on the river from Memphis, and will arrive in a day or two; in all, between 5,000 and 6,000, at an early day. I think General Sherman will be satisfied with this.
