GLASGOW, September 29, 1864.

Lieutenant-Colonel DRAPER,

Sturgeon:

Captain Glaze advises me that a negro taken by Anderson from Judge Viley's, near Roanoke, and who was with Anderson from Saturday night until this morning, came into Fayette this evening and reports that the guerrillas scattered night before last, with an understanding that they were to concentrate to cross the river between Rocheport and Glasgow, at or near Arrow Rock. He heard them say they had skiffs already made near that locality. The villains disguised their trail by dragging brush after them. The squad that the numbered thirteen, and took breakfast this morning seven miles from Fayette, and were moving southwest. General Douglass left Columbia yesterday at 5 a. m., having been joined by Major King, who missed the trail of the guerrillas from Middle Grove. The general says he should pursue and kill the demons. Unless you get track of a concentration, move toward Rocheport yourself. I fear the barbarians will get across the river. Is Leonard with you?
