a battery having left this point up to this time. I fear General Kelley's apprehensions of a very formidable attack are being realized, expectations being now entertained that the movement may extend into Pennsylvania, for the procurement of cattle and supplies.

CUMBERLAND, February 2, 18964.

Captain MYERS,

North Branch Bridge:

Can infantry be got across the river? Colonel Mulligan occupies Burlington and the Moorefield Junction to-night and I expect four regiments of cavalry in Romney to-night from General Sullivan's command. I think you might push on to-morrow morning and proceed cautiously on the track of Rosser. He may go east through Springfield. If he does, you must send a messenger to our cavalry at Romney, so he can be cut off. Do you think the enemy were at Green Spring or South Branch bridge?

B. F. KELLEY,

Brigadier-General.

CUMBERLAND, February 2, 1864-5 p. m.

Colonel MOODY,

North Branch:

Remain at the bridge to-night. Where is the Ringgold cavalry? Are they at the bridge? What is the damage to the wire?

B. F. KELLEY,

Brigadier-General.
