AGENDA.

Report of C. Spencer, scout.

General Joseph E. Johnston had not to exceed 22,000 men, as follows: Major-General Loring's DIVISION, about 5,000. Loring's brigade are commanded by Brigadier General John Adams, brigadier-General Featherston, and Brigadier-General Buford. Has about thirty guns.

Major-General Walker's DIVISION, about 5,000. Walker's brigade are commanded by General Gist, colonel Wilson, brigadier-General Gregg, and [M. D.]Ector. Walker hat about thirty guns.

Major-General French's DIVISION, about 4,000. French's brigade are commanded by Brigadier-General McNair and two others. As near as I could learn, but three brigades composed this DIVISION. French has two batteries-twelve guns.

Major General John C. Breckinridge's DIVISION, about 5,000. Of his brigade commanders, I am not well informed. He has a heavy proportion of artillery. His troops are mostly Kentuckians and Tennesseans, and his DIVISIONS is considered the best in Johnston's army.

Brigadier-General Jackson's cavalry DIVISION and several detached companies will number about 3,000. One brigade is commanded by General Cosby; the other General WITFIELD. He has but two brigades, having consolidated his command.

The disposition of the enemy's (rebel) force in their fortifications is a follows:

Loring of the right, next Walker, next French, and last(on their left)Breckinridge.

The cavalry is camped in the rear about a mile, in order to afford protection to the wagon trains, which are immense.
