H. Ferry, Oct, 22d, 1859–9.45 A. M.
W. P. Smith:
All is quiet. We had a guard of thirty (30) men on duty last night, which will be kept up at night for a time. I will leave here on the mail, unless you order me to remain. I feel satisfied matters are at an end, and will only require a few watchmen on the bridge for a short time.
A. P. SHUTT.
