Col. JOHN B. SALE, Military Secretary, Richmond:
A strong force of
the enemy's cavalry and infantry advanced from Louisville, and encamped last
night six miles from Waynesborough. They turned off this morning toward
Savannah. Our cavalry is pressing on the rear, and all available means are
being thrown to their front by rail. There is time yet for any assistance which
can be spared to be sent by way of Charleston.
BRAXTON BRAGG.

Respectfully
submitted to His Excellency the President, as information.
JNO. B. SALE,
Colonel and Military Secretary.
