Tuscumbia, Ala., July 23, 1862.Major-General BUELL, Hunsville:
I am ready to cross the river at once if General Morgan was here. He is expected here to-morrow; left Iuka at a.m. to-day. I cannot follow your instructions without abandoning this place and the railroad.
General Schoepf crossed the river this morning at Decatur. Cannot he go to Pulaski with his brigade?
Only one battalion of cavalry here, the remainder guarding the road at other points until relieved. Can cross one brigade here to-morrow; the other probably the day following, with the cavalry and artillery.
Stockades have been ordered built, and all or most of them, I believe, completed. Will telegraph you in regard to rations as soon as I can hear from General McPherson.
