Brigadier General S. M. BARTON:

GENERAL: The major-general commanding directs me to say that the whole force of the enemy which have crossed into Powell's Valley are moving toward Cumberland Gap. They have also crossed from Virginia and are marching upon the same point. The general directs that you will immediately destroy all the boats upon the Clinch River, and that you will communicate your intentions to Colonel Allston in such manner that they would not be understood by the enemy should your messenger be intercepted. Stevenson, who gives this information by his last courier, excepts some relief from us. Move your command as rapidly as possible to Tazewell. Reynolds' brigade will be ordered to move there from Morristown. The Fifty-second Georgia is also ordered to the same point, and will go up at once by rail to Morristown and thence to the crossing at Powell's River.

Captain Owen's company (cavalry) is ordered to Maynardville, from which point he will observer all the crossings of Clinch River from its
