General UPTON,

Augusta, Ga.:

I have had information of Davis in substance the same as communicated by you to General Wilson and by him to me. I have with me seventy dismounted men. Regiment at Jonesborough last night; will be here to-night. Our scouts have been out for several days. Winslow marched from here early this morning; shall hurry him forward. If you have any positive information in regard to the probable route, send me word. Will be on the alert. No rations here for my command except meat.

Cars loaded with supplies can pass through Atlanta en route for Macon without transshipment. George Yonge, superintendent of Georgia Railroad, who is now at Augusta, can best make necessary arrangements.
