Major-General.

TRIUNE, June 13, 1863 - 1 a. m.

Major-General ROSECRANS,

Commander-in-Chief, Department of the Cumberland:

I have no news to communicate to-night. A few rebels showed themselves. I send a force at daylight to Stearnes' Mills. Forrest has no permanent abiding place. I will report result of expedition at an early period.

G. GRANGER,

Major-General, Commanding.

TRIUNE, June 13, 1863 - 6.40 p. m.

Lieutenant-Colonel GODDARD,

Assistant Adjutant-General, Department of the Cumberland:
