| Your dispatch of this date
just received. The movements of troops by the Virginia &
Tennessee Railroad delayed by breaks in the road. |
| About 1,100 infantry,
Colonel [G. C. Wharton] commanding, will leave
Dublin
to-morrow evening, en route to
Staunton
and
Winchester
. The remainder of the number called for are in front of Lewisburg,
and ought to leave this evening, according to orders, to march to
Millborough, the present terminus of the Virginia Central Railroad;
from thence to
Staunton
by rail. |
| I left
Dublin
this morning to go to Monroe, to hurry the movements of troops and to give necessary orders to
the officers left in command in front. |
