seriously affect your results. Have requisitions made for what you want, and orders sent here here by telegraph for what Moulton cannot supply. General Morgan's command got about all the money in the department. Troop have been leaving here for the field that have never been paid, and some part of the army of McClellan is no better off. General Morgan's letter was forwarded at once to Washington with a strong appeal. All the funds have gone for bounty of new regiments. It is believed that Humphrey Marshall's force, not exceeding 3,000 probably, is making its way back to Virginia, by Pound Gap, which is the way he entered Kentucky.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Pleasant Valley, [Md.] October 24, 1862-3.30 p. m. (Received 4.20 p. m.)

Major General H. W. HALLECK:

Referring to your telegram of 3.30 p. m., yesterday, I understand the 20,000 re-enforcements to be made up of Heintzelman's and Sigel's corps. Am I right in this, or do you intend giving me 20,000 men in addition to those two corps? If some of Bayard's cavalry would join me by way of Leesburg, it would expedite my movements considerably. The trouble will be with the cavalry. I expect large numbers of horses early in the week. Of course, I shall not wait for a complete remount.
