To-day companies are sent in every direction, scouring the country for rebels. Company H to-day capture the noted rebel Ross, once a member of the State Legislature. Some one charges him as being one of the motley crew who made such an ignoble retreat when Nelson made his appearance in the vicinity of Nashville, but as it is to his credit, he denies the accusation. In the evening the different companies and scouting parties form a junction at Henderson Station, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
