Colonel J. H. TAYLOR,

Chief of Staff:

Is not one company sufficient for the aqueduct at Great Falls? If General Halleck thinks so, send the other three companies to report to General Slough for train guards. The force at Great Falls was designated by General Halleck, and I do not like to diminish it without his sanction.

C. C. AUGUR,

Major-General.

Lieutenant-Colonel TAYLOR,

Chief of Staff:

COLONEL: The patrols report all quiet. We have information that there are about 100 guerrillas lurking in the pines near Wolf Run Shoals, on the Prince William County side. It was no doubt some of this gang that attacked the guard at Burke's Station yesterday.
