General C. C. GILBERT,

Commanding, &c., Louisville, Ky.:

GENERAL: Make use of your cavalry as far as possible in scouring country in advance of Louisville; keep me advised of Granger's movements if you can learn of them and of any information regarding General Buell. If Terrill can possibly be spared temporarily send him here; I need him much.

Major General LEW. WALLACE:

Governor Morton is very anxious that a gunboat should run down the river as far as Carrollton and back. Can't you spare one for that purpose, to start as soon as possible? Answer quickly.

Major General LEW. WALLACE,

Commanding, &c., Covington, Ky.:

GENERAL: The force of regularly organized troops is accumulating so rapidly that I trust you will shortly be able to return to their homes the unorganized forces now under your command. Those belonging to the city will no doubt be quite as useful kept here, ready to turn out at a moment's warning, as they would be if kept in the field. By to-morrow I hope you may be able to dispense with their immediate presence. Several regiments are reported to arrive to-night.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

H. G. WRIGHT,

Major-General, Commanding.
