Do your telegraphic instructions of yesterday contemplate the muster out of the colored mounted regiments? I think two regiments in East, two in Middle, and one in West Tennessee, of mounted troops will be sufficient. Does this meet the wishes of the commanding general?

HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF THE TENNESSEE,
Nashville, July 20, 1865.His Excellency PRESIDENT JOHNSON,
Washington, D. C.:
Will your authorize the publication of your telegram of the 16th instant to Governor Brownlow, advising him to adopt strenuous measures to have the laws passed by the last Legislature enforced? Its publication will do much good in satisfying many obtuse minds in this State that Governor Brownlow's policy is approved by you. The rebel element in some portions of this State is very restive under the present state of affairs.
GEO. H. THOMAS,
Major-General, U. S. Army, Commanding.
