A. P. Shutt, A. Diffey,} Harper's Ferry.
As there will
probably be very large numbers of troops, besides other passengers,
who may come down from Harper's Ferry to Baltimore and Washington, by
our road, on tomorrow afternoon and Saturday, it is highly important for
us to know at the very earliest moment their probable number, so as to
make the necessary provision for their prompt and safe transportation.
We desire to know,
therefore, something of the wishes and
intentions of the authorities respecting
the return of troops and munitions It may be necessary to
run an extra train on Friday afternoon, leaving Harper's Ferry for
Baltimore and Washington, about two or three o'clock, which can be done, if we
get proper notice.
W.P SMITH.
