BALTIMORE, April 25, 1863-10.30 a.m.

Major General R. H. MILROY,

Winchester, Va.:

You did right to send Elliott's brigade. Give him any further support you can spare from Winchester.

Kelley will have you sustained from Romney and the railroad.

We must catch the rebel Jones if he moves on New Creek or tries anywhere to reach the railroad. In the meantime, McReynolds must scout up the Valley.

HARPER'S FERRY, VA., April 25, 1863.

Lieutenant-Colonel CHESEBROUGH,

Asst. Adjt. General, Headquarters, Baltimore:

Colonel Campbell, by a dispatch just received, reports Jones moving on New Creek and Romney with from 5,000 to 7,000 men. He will be at Williamsport to-night. This place, Patterson's Creek, about 20 miles from New Creek. Have ordered Colonel Smith, with One hundred and twenty-sixth Ohio and Maulsby's battery, to move to New Creek to-morrow morning, but I fear it will be too late. Will send two regiments from here as soon as cars can be had.

B. F. KELLEY,

The attempt may be to dash in on Rowlesburg and the Cheat River trestles. Look out for that. Do you hear anything form along the railroad west?
