This order reached me about the same hour that a telegram was handed me from General Fitz John Porter, saying that the orders I had just received were to go to me last night, but hoping if I got a chance I would pitch into the enemy; that Kenly, at Williamsport, was ordered to watch the fords at Harper's Ferry, and Geary at Monocacy, and advising, if I should go into Harper's Ferry, that I should destroy the mill-stones. And there was a telegram from Colonel Geary, at Point of Rocks, that he was directed not to permit cars to pass that point (which he had christened Camp Korpony), should the enemy cross, or attempt so to do, above him; followed shortly after by another despatch from the same officer, announcing that he would relie

Feeling the necessity of defending him, Dabney or Cooke, or both of them, aver that General Jackson ordered General Steuart to follow with his cavalry and capture us, even as Flournoy had ridden down and captured Kenly on the 23d in his attempt at escape; and that Steuart would not obey, because he was under the immediate command of Ewell, from whom he had received no orders.
