The following order, which was sent me from Harper's Ferry, goes to corroborate the impressions I have before received, that the enemy are receiving re-enforcements:

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
September 23, 1862 - 11 a. m. (Received 1.20 p. m.)

Major-General HALLECK:

Dr. Hitchcock and Honorable Mr. Crocker, of Massachusetts, are here, on the part of the Governor of that State, desirous of removing to Massachusetts the most serious cases of their wounded men. I would request authority to deliver to them such severe cases as will not be fit for duty in less than thirty days or six weeks, one or more surgeons, to be detailed by the medical director of this army, to inspect the cases and decide as to those to be sent home; none to be sent without the approval and order of the medical director. I would respectfully ask an early reply to this.

GEO. B. MCCLELLAN,

Major-General, Commanding.
