Military Secretary, Richmond:
* * * The [enemy's]
cavalry having been driven in, the enemy's main force was yesterday found near
Louisville, with strong outposts in this direction. They have secured large
supplies in the country; but our cavalry is now all up, and it is hoped they will
be prevented, to a great extent, in future. The report from Savannah of the
enemy's entrance into Millen on 27th was premature. Telegraphic communication
was reopened to Savannah by that route yesterday. Enemy is just now reported as
at Station 9, on Central railroad, advancing.
BRAXTON BRAGG.
