General W. S. ROSECRANS,
Clarksburg, Va.:
The enemy remains about the same in front, so far as I can learn. They no doubt intend to get me surrounded, but I am relying upon your being able to stop that on the north. The south side of the river needs protection. My provisions, &c., come forward slowly. how about the ammunition?

GAULEY BRIDGE, August 17, 1861.
General W. S. ROSECRANS,
Clarksburg, Va.:
A report has been brought in by a scouting party that a mixed force of several thousand is at Raleigh Court-House. I send it for what it is worth. There is no doubt some force there, and their object is supposed to be to reach the mouth of Coal River. Your last dispatch received by me is dated 13th.
J. D. COX,
Brigadier-General.
(Telegrapher will send copy of the above to Governor Dennison.)

GAULEY BRIDGE, August 17, 1861.
General W. S. ROSECRANS,
Clarksburg, Va.:
Tyler sends me word that he has reliable information that Lee was about to move on Sutton with part of his force. That another part was sent to re-enforce Floyd, who was to attack me. That the secessionists are making a road from Slavens Hacking, on Cheat Mountain, through and down Elk. That Lee was to move on Charleston and take me in rear. In short, that the puprose is to combine upon my column before you can help it. These rumors are so numerous and from such widely different sources that there must be some truth in them, and unless you are able to checkmate the move may produce serious consequences. I hope you are well posted as to their movements. I need ammunition for any continued operations. None has arrived since my dispatch on that subject to you, and having to Feed Tyler's and Smith's
