Corrected Report of Gen. Rosecrans.
Disposition of Troops and Order of Battle.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Z.
The following is corrected report of the
message in Tuesdays papers from Gen. Rose
Grams OF the 4th: 1t should have read ''reach-
ed the Wilson Pike and meeting with no severe
opposition and further down read, Thomas
occupied the vicinity of Noansville. On the
2Sth McCook completed his reconnaissance on
Hardee's movements. Crittenden remained
awaiting the result and bringing up trains
Thomas moved into Stewards Greek on the
29th McCook moved into Wilkinson's Cross
Roads seven miles from Murfreesboro' on the
end of a short rough pike road, through roll
ing country skirted by bluff covered with
dense ceder, thiekets and open timber. Crit
tonden pushed the enemy rapidly, saved the
bridge and reached point within three miles
OF Murfreesboro, his advance driving all the
outposts to within sight of the town. Thomas
two divisions closed up to Crittenden and took
position on his right. On the Both McCook
advanced on Wilkinson's Pike, having to make
his way through dense woods, meeting with
determined resistance. He got into position
three miles from Murfreesboro, occupying the
extreme right of our line. The left stood
fast. The centre advanced slightly and were
engaged in cutting through an almost impene-
trable growth of cedar which separated them
our right, rendering communication with them
exceedingly difficult.
The combat and the roughness of the coun-
try had brought forward McCook's right divi-
sion so as to face strongly to the southeast
instead of being refaced so as toface the south,
with the several divisions between the centre
and right, and sufficiently far in the rear to
support, and If necessary extend it, the grave
consequences of which were developed the
next day. The 3lst found our left crossing
the Murfreesboro pike and railroad, one divi-
sion in front on forming a crochet on Stones
river, and one in reserve in the centre Negey
between the left and right, and Rosseau in
reserve. The plan of battle was to open on
the right, engage the enemy sufficiently to hold
him firmly, and to cross the river with our left,
consisting of three divisions, to oppose which
they had but two divisions-the country being
favorable to an attack from that side of the
town-but the enemy attacked the whole front
of our right flank, which was partly surprised
and thrown into confusion and driven back
