This morning the command is ordered to be kept together, ready to move at a moment's notice; what is contemplated or whither our destination, is a mystery to the soldiers. To-day Colonel Straight arrives from Murfreesboro with a brigade of mounted infantry. Each day indicates that some bold movement is contemplated. Another day is closing and yet the command still remains at a stand.
