RUSSELLVILLE, November 26, 1862.

Major-General ROSECRANS:

From scout I made to Clarksville I am satisfied there is a rebel force of Buckner's command near that point. Captain James Burnman, of Buckner;s staff, is now here, prisoner. he was captured only 5 miles above Clarksville, south of Cumberland River. They may intend to make their way into Southern Kentucky. It would be well to look into the facts.
