Washington, Nov. 26th, 1859—2.43 P. M.
W. P. Smith,

About ninety men left Lexington, last night, but failed to connect at Staunton, consequently will not reach here until to-morrow morning. Can an extra train be run to carry them to Harper's Ferry. We can leave here at 7 o'clock, A. M. Three passenger, one baggage, one gondola for guns.

An officer awaits an immediate reply.
