COLONEL: As trains cannot run farther than the junction on the Chattanooga and Atlanta road, you will please march the troops of the Fourteenth Army Corps you have at this place along the line of the Chattanooga and Atlanta road, relieving all troops in block-houses south of Chickamauga Station and north of Tunnel Hill. The troops of the Fourteenth Army Corps with wood party you will relieve with an equal number from the Twentieth Corps, and add them to the detachment of the Fourteenth Corps for the above garrison duty. The detachment of the Fourteenth Army Corps now at Tunnel Hill will remain at Tunnel Hill until General Cruft's return, when it will be used to strengthen the garrisons in block-houses this side. Should any be found in the block-houses, they will be ordered to Tunnel Hill to garrison that place until General Cruft's return. You will order the troops relieved to report at once to Brigadier-General Meagher. You will commence the execution this order at once, and report its completion.
