I have thus put on paper the general impressions now uppermost, but very hastily and under great pressure of business, which will, I hope, excuse such imperfections as may have inadvertently occurred.

I left Hagerstown on the afternoon of the thirtieth ultimo, the earliest day my command could take the field in a proper condition for active service, intending the following morning to enter Virginia with two columns, (at Dam No. Four and at Williamsport,) to be united the same day at Hainesville, the location of the rebels. Owing to the danger and difficulty attending the fording at Dam No. Four, I placed all the force at Williamsport. My order of march for the second instant, is given in the accompanying circular. The advance crossed the Potomac at four A. M., all taking the main road to Martinsburg with the exception of Negley's brig

hey had been separated by the ram's steaming ahead. I have sent also to Rear-Admiral Lee a fragment of a solid shot fired from the one hundred-pounder rifle of the Sassacus when close alongside, proving that the various reports heretofore made of the invulnerability of the ram have not been much exaggerated.

d, Captain Kingsbury, of the ordnance department, then on duty in Washington, was ordered, at the suggestion of General Scott, to proceed immecouched in the following terms:-- Adjutant General's office, Washington, April 17, 1861. Sir: By direction of the Secretary of War youd be furnished at the same time by the Secretary. Before leaving Washington, Captain Kingsbury received verbal instructions from General Scot over the cross-ties of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to reach Washington on the evening of the nineteenth, where he found, on his arrival, in the hands of the myrmidons of treason on a triumphal march to Washington. This view of the matter is forcibly presented in Abbott's hisls to procure arms there (Harper's Ferry) and move on Baltimore. Washington was doubtless the ultimate point of attack; but the whole rebel p thus saved? For if the traitors had then obtained possession of Washington, the concession of belligerent rights by France and England would

Although I had not been at all seriously engaged at any time during the morning, I was well satisfied that the enemy was in considerable force in my immediate front, consequently I was extremely vigilant. Such was the status of the battle in my immediate vicinity when I received the following order: headquarters, D. C., September 20, 10.45 A. M. Brigadier-General Wood, commanding Division: The General commanding directs that you close up on Reynolds as fast as possible, and support him. Respectfully, &c., Frank J. Bond, Major, and A. D. C.
