Martinsburg, Nov. 24th, 1859–4.10 P. M.
W. P. Smith:
The authorities here wish to send up one hundred and twenty-five men by the way-train to-morrow morning for North Mountain, to guard Virginia side of the river, between there and Cherry Run—the cars to be taken on West after they have landed, which will not delay the trains. Notice to be given when they wish to return by same conveyance.
W. A. GORTON.
