Baltimore, Nov. 26th, 1859—12.40 P. M.
A. P. Shutt, Harper's Ferry:
If the State authorities, Gen. Taliaferro, or the Governor, or their authorized representatives require it, we will run any engine on the road, at any hour possible, but we do not expect to run extra trains, otherwise, for any purpose to-morrow. Ask Mr. Barbour to get the requisition, made officially.
W. P. SMITH.
