Martinsburg, Nov. 30, 1859.-12.55 P. M.
J.W. Garrett.
I have called on the officer in command here, in regard to the release of the passengers, who were arrested on Express train east this morning. He says he cannot release them until he received orders from Gen. Taliaferro, who described the persons, and gave peremptory orders to have them arrested.
He has dispatched to the General at Charlestown, and is waiting a reply. I will let you know the result as early as possible.
