Brigadier-General WHARTON,

Commanding Cavalry:

GENERAL: All quiet in our front to-day. The scout under Major Bacot has returned. They drove in the enemy's pickets at Versailles, which were stationed 1 1/2 miles from the town, and consisted of one company of cavalry. Citizens report that General Granger's command arrived at Versailles at 3 o'clock yesterday evening; also that General Jefferson [C.] Davis' command arrived there about dark. The scout captured two stragglers from General Davis' command, who reported that their command had gone on to Versailles. Citizens report that they are building a bridge across Harpeth River, and that they intend to go on to College Grove.

Respectfully, your obedient servant,

M. H. ROYSTON,

Assistant Adjutant-General.

DEAR SIR: General McCown, who is under arrest by order of General Bragg, is very anxious to have his conduct investigated, and, through the Senators from that State, respectfully asks that a court-martial be ordered to sit on his case. He authorizes us to say he waives all exceptions to the rank of the officers ordered to try him. All he asks is a speedy trial, and we respectfully ask it in his name.
