I went to the Ct House. Nothing of much importance
from the Seats of War. The former report that
Cincinnati was taken was not true. Buell is said to have
left Nashville and to be falling back to Bowling Green K.y.
and Bragg to be in hot persuit. From our Army in
Maryland there was no reliable information.
