Transportation will be ready for them at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning. Will it not be possible to send the One hundred and fifty-fifth Ohio direct from Martinsburg to Washington, or must I countermand the order for the occupation of Halltown, and call in the cavalry from Berryville? If the Ohio regiment leaves I have no mend for their support. Please answer at once, else the order for the recall of the troops will issue.
