Will the interests of the service permit such a diversion to be made? George W. Morgan, Brigadier-General, Cos, June 11, 1862.

dated March 27, relative to an expedition set on foot in April, 1862, under the authority and direction, as the report says, of General O. M. Mitchel, the object of which was to destroy the line of communications on the Georgia State Railroad between Atlanta and Chattanooga. The expedition was set on foot under my authority. The plan was arranged between Mr. Andrews, whom I had in employment from shortly after assuming command in Kentucky, and my chief of staff, Col. James B. Fry, and General Mitchel had nothing to do either with its conception or executio: except to furnish from his command the soldiers who took part in i He was directed to furnish 6. Instead of that he sent 22. Had he coi formed to the instructions given him it would have been better. Th chances of success would have been greater, and in any event severe lives would have been saved. The report speaks of the plan as a emanation of genius and of the results which it promised as absolutely sublime. It may be pr

Army. headquarters Department of East Tennessee, Knoxville, Tenn., April 13, 1862. Major: On the 11th General Mitchel, with a Federal force, well ascertained to be about 8,000, with four batteries, entered Huntsville, capturing twenty-one engines and three trains of cars. They came from Murfreesborough via Shelbyville and Fayetteville, and were followed byts, making a force of between 5,000 and 6,000 effective men, but the destruction of the road west from Bridgeport renders the operation of artillery on that line now impracticable. A demonstration of 5,000 infantry toward Huntsville might alarm Mitchel, but no decisive results could be reasonably anticipated. The advance of a force from Kingston by Sparta on Nashville is the strategic move, offering the greatest results and the most practicable in operation. I so telegraphed General Beaurega

rossed the river with the wagon train. I therefore fell back slowly to Winchestor,Gcausing General Mitchel to concentrate his forces in places which I threatened. In crossing the Fayetteville turnpike I captured some couriers. From their papers I ascertained that General Mitchel was concentrating his forces on the line of road from Pulaski to Athens, Elkton, and Huntsville, and contemplate evacuated the place, retreating toward Salem. I have since been reliably informed that General Mitchel has moved from Huntsville toward Shelbyville, with a force of about 1,000 infantry, 300 cavls say they have been whipped at Corinth. If there is any truth in this report it explains General Mitchel's late movement. In compliance with General Beauregard's orders, which I received at Ch Starnes' and Davis' cavalry and Kain's artillery. Herewith I have the honor to inclose General Mitchel's report of the occupation of Lamb's Ferry, taken from a Nashville paper. Mitlhel's firs

Knoxville, Tenn., June 10, 1862. General Mitchel retired from before Chattanooga Monday. His force (as near as can be estimated four brigades, twenty pieces of artillery, about 7,000 effective) evacuated Sequatchie Valley yesterday and recrossed the mountain into Middle Tennessee.
