General NELSON, McMinnville:
(General Smith to forward from Manchester.)
Hazen's brigade cannot leave Murfreesborough at present. The Twenty-third Kentucky and Thirty-first Indiana are ordered to join you. There is another regiment absent from one of the brigade now with you. Where is it? The general wants you to report on the state of affairs in your vicinity, and if you should want
re-enforcements apply to him, as he can tell points from which they can be best spared.

If you are uncertain about the innocence of deserters send them to commanding officer at Nashville. If you feel certain they are innocent, keep them a while and let them to the interior. There is great danger of their joining guerrilla bands.
