General WHEELER:

GENERAL:
You have been advised promptly of every movement of the enemy. I shall keep the enemy from Crab Orchard as long as possible. The rear of our army has passed Crab Orchard several hours. I trust you will reach that place to-night. Scott has gone to Somerset. I can see no use for us to remain longer than to-night.

Very respectfully,

JNO. A. WHARTON,
Colonel, &c.
