Brigadier-General SMITH:

One hundred and fifty men of the Twelfth Indiana Cavalry, dismounted, leave here for Huntsville, via Stevenson, at 6 o'clock p.m.; they are to constitute a part of the force to be stationed at Huntsville, which will be garrisoned by the Thirteenth Indiana Cavalry, dismounted, and a portion of the Twelfth Indiana. Please instruct the commanding officers of your forces on the railroad between Decatur Junction and Huntsville to hold their commands in readiness to embark on the train which will transport my troops to the points occupied by them at once on its arrival, in order that the train may not be delayed longer than ten minutes at each place. I will endeavor to send enough troops on the trains that leave here to-morrow morning to relieve your men between Decatur Junction and Hunstville.

The gun-boat is here just from Guntersville. About fifty rebels had crossed over and eighty more going to cross; we killed 2 and wounded several. There are about fifty at a saltpeter cave about one mile from here on the south side of the river. Shall I take some men and go there? The boat has not a sufficient number.
