ranu)sed the Confederates, taking one hundred
prisoners. The battle was renewed yesterday

fifty Confederate cavalry were captured near
Nolensville recently. It is reported that about
enc thousand Confederate cavalry are in the
vicinity of Harpeth Shoals waiting to attack
the boats on the Cumberland.

all retired from Kentucky as reported. 1t Is
now stated that they have a camp OF about
nine hundred near Mount Sterling.
4 reconnaissance was made recently towards
Adie, Va, to sur prise band of Contederates
commanded by Capt Mose]y, at the farm OF

came upon the Confederates by secreting
