GENERAL: Lieutenant Freeman, aide-de-camp from these headquarters, who went out to Franklinton Depot with a patrol, reports from there that the "bummers" are dispersing and making their way to Raleigh. The general thinks that if you patrols are posted along this side of the river that many of them may be arrested. Lieutenant Freeman also reports that many of the outrages have been committed by men belonging to authorized foraging parties.

Very respectfully,

A. M. VAN DYKE,

Assistant-General.
