Please accept my thanks for the gentle admonition you gave my son, and the kind manner in which it was done.

ANDREW JOHNSON,

Military Governor.

[JUNE 1, 1863.]

General ROSECRANS:

Corny took Florence Thursday. Found Roddey there and whipped him. They say forces were going to Johnston from Bragg up to the 25th [ultimo]; also that some trains crossed Muscle shoals a week ago.

We destroyed everything that would aid in that part of Seward[?] County; mills, foundries, forage, &c., were burned. The prisoners say that there is no doubt of forces going to Johnston from Bragg. Roddey's command had not gone to Columbia, but Biffle's had.

G. M. DODGE,

Brigadier-General.

General BURNSIDE:

Our movement has begun, and we want you to come up as near and as quickly as possible. It will not interfere with your East Tennessee movement, but will strengthen it. First, we want you to occupy Carthage, from where Crook will move Thursday morning, leaving the Tennessee troops there. When will your bearded of dispatches leave you?
