JACKSON, May 31, 1863.

Major-General HURLBUT, Comdg. SIXTEENTH Army Corps:

The following has just been received from General Dodge:

Scouts that went out with Cornym bring rebel papers up to the 24th . They speak of heavy re-enforcements going from Georgia to Johnston. Scouts say that, as far as they can learn, troops were leaving Bragg up to the 25th. Wagon trains crossed Muscle Shoals, going south, a week ago. Cornyn had a few men killed and wounded; only three MISSING.

R. J. OGLESBY.

CORINTH, May 31, 1863.

Major-General HURLBUT:

General Dodge, from information received from his scouts, thinks that Johnston has not received more than 8,000 and that his command on the 25th was not to exceed 20,000, including Loring. He is of the opinion that Breckinridge has joined him.

Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Inspector-General.
