Acting Assistant AEdjutant- General :
I have sent reconnoitering parties on three of the most important
approaches from the south and west, and taken all possible precaution
toward the protection of this place. At Tyner's Station I have 200
men and two pieces of artillery; they have a good earth-work, and can
without doubt hold it.

One of the patrols I sent out this afternoon has just returned, and
reports that a party of rebel cavalry, about eighty strong, crossed the
Cleveland and Dalton Railroad at Red Clay before daylight this morn-
ing, going in the direction of Ooltewah. Shortly after daylight they
returned, recrossed at Red Clay, and passed south. Nothing has been
heard of them since that time.
