Harper's Ferry, Nov. 22d, 1859—1.23 P. M.
W. P. Smith:
One hundred troops left on mail for Richmond. When I arrived at Charlestown Gov. Wise had countermanded his order of last evening, and intends to keep the troops for the present stationed, here and at Harper's Ferry. I delivered your package to the Governor.
I understand from Mr. Barbour that the Governor has some important information. You shall hear from me if there is anything of interest.
A. P. SHUTT.
