NASHVILLE, TENN., November 22, 1864-9 p.m.

Major General H. W. HALLECK,

Washington, D. C.:

The following dispatch just received from General Hatch is forwarded for your information:

LAWRENCEBURG, November 22-10 a.m.

Major-General THOMAS:

My command reached this point last night. The enemy attacked my picket at 8 o'clock this morning; as the force, whatever it was, was repulsed, I do not think it the advance of the enemy's column; shall learn before night; probably a reconnaissance of the enemy. I am almost sure the enemy's infantry will march through Lawrenceburg. The cavalry of the enemy remains near the enemy's infantry, and renders an attack upon it unsafe for me. The entire movement has an appearance of Columbia or some point north of Pulaski. A scouting party of the enemy of twelve men passed Lawrenceburg yesterday, going toward Lynnville or Campbellsville; they mean either to cut or tap the telegraph.

EDWARD HATCH,

Brigadier-General.
