HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY, &C.,
Bristol, February 22, 1865-1 p. m.Major JOHNSTON,
Assistant Adjutant-General:
MAJOR: The enemy came into Greeneville yesterday at 1 p. m. His force is estimated at some 2,000 strong, all infantry, no cavalry having been seen. The enemy's strength is obtained through prisoners who were captured by the enemy and escaped. I am concentrating my forces so as to check any advance east of the Watauga line. The enemy's cavalry is somewhere east of Knoxville, but not more than 1,000 strong unless re-enforced recently, of which I have no notification. To hold the election is the cause of the advance, I think.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JNO. C. VAUGHN,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
BRISTOL, TENN., February 23, 1865.
(Received 9.20.)

Assistant Adjutant-General:
Enemy still at Greeneville, 12 m. yesterday. Strength, 850. Thought to cover a raid into North Carolina. Will advise you this evening.
J. C. VAUGHN,
Brigadier-General.
