fantry, which was checked a mile above Kelly's. I received information of this move about 9 P. M. at Culpeper, and made arrangements to have the entire cavalry and artillery force in Culpeper on the ground at daylight — directing, in the meantime, the enemy to be so enveloped with pickets as to see what route he took from Kelly's and keep him in check.
