HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Tullahoma, Tenn., July 8, 1863.Major General GEORGE H. THOMAS:
The general commanding regrets to learn that straggling soldiers are committing outrages on citizens, by thieving and robbing. Great irregularities have also been observed in foraging.

J. A. GARFIELD,
Brigadier-General and Chief of Staff.

A. BAIRD,
Brigadier-General.

Major-General.
