in readiness to embark for New Orleans. Lieutenant Colonel Mackay, chief quartermaster Army of the Cumberland, reports that the transportation is in readiness to receive them on board at this point. The major-general commanding directs that this division march at once to the north bank of the Tennessee River opposite to the Easport landing, where they will embark in the transports and proceed in accordance to-morrow morning, in order to report as early in the day as possible at the point mentioned in communication of yesterday. As it is desirable to get the Seventh Division off as soon as possible, the major-general commanding directs me to say that the regrets that he will not be able to review the division before they start.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

HENRY M. CIST,

Assistant Adjutant-General.

Major S. B. MOVE,

Assistant Adjutant-General:

All is quiet. The panic last night was caused y a small party of stampeded Tennessee cavalry, who had been sent to recover the body of a murdered Union man. They reported seeing a squad of rebels at Blackburn's in the center of the triangle. They were badly frightened and could not tell much. I think the situation not very different from that when I left here, and my ideas of the proper movement to make unchanged. What shall I do?
