informs me that there is a very strong probability that the enemy will
reach here tomorrow by 12 O'clock. It is not supposed to be the main
force of the enemy, but a select few, with the view to destroy the
lead mines, railroad and other property. This is the opinion of the A.
A. G. to Genl. Breckinridge. We have scouts out, and they will be in
at 12 or 1 O'clock to-night, when I can give you more definite news. |
