Capt. J. BATES DICKSON:
The rebels that crossed Clay's Ferry road this morning are near
Tate's Creek road, stealing horses. I ant sending out two parties,
strong enough to fight them if found. When this scout returns I will
send one regiment to General Fry for scout and picket duty south of
Kentucky River. I will remain here. This is the best point for obser-
vation; better than Camp Nelson.
