WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, November 1, 1862.
Major-General WRIGHT, Gincinnati, Ohio:
By direction of the Secretary of War, I yesterday telegraphed Gov-
ernor Morton to send all Indiana troops to Columbus, Ky. Not a mo-
ment should be lost in sending re-enforcements to General Grant. We
are anxious to hear from Western Virginia. Thie Department is not
satisfied with the movements of troops there. They are too slow.
Unless they move with great rapidity the campaign will be a failure.
Has Morgan's command been sent to Tennessee ?
H. W. HALLECK,
General-in-Chief.
BOWLING GREEN,
November 1, 1862.
General W. S. ROSEORANS:
Another messenger from Nashville reports to me that General Negley
said Br ckinridge moved his command to La Vergue, and that 15,000 of
Braggs' advance would be at Murfreesborough this morning. Morgan
was at Springfield yesterday with fully 3,000. His object is, doubtless,
to annoy our army as they move down, or cut off the wagon train. I
dispersed some of his men yesterday near South Union, on Russellville
road, /capturing 4. If cavalry force could be sent frpm Munfordville
by Ruissellville and another from here with section of artillery, it would
trouble him to escape.
S. D. BRUCE,
Colonel, Commanding.
LOUISVILLE, KY.,
November 1, 1862.
Major-General HALLECK:
Major-General Rosecrans left this morning to join his command, which
was already in motion on his arrival here. He takes with him all the
forces lately under General Buell, except the garrisons on the railroad
and a brigade with some cavalry, at Lebanon, which are designed in
part to support those garrisons. What the strength of the force thus
left is, have not been able to ascertain. The small force at Louisville
should be kept for the present, except two regiments of Indiana troops,
sent here some time since, but which, it was stated, were designed for
special service. Beyond the thirteen regiments of Illinois troops, re-
ferred to in my dispatch, I cannot, therefore, send any to Columbus
without drawing them from Granger's command, which is in the in-
terior of Kentucky. Shall I do this ? I prefer not doing it at this
moment.
H. G. WRIGHT.
