Gen. CROOK, Hancock:

OCTOBER 11, 1862--9.30.

The general commanding directs that you send a brigade of your command and a battery to McConnellsburg, to remain until it is determined which route the rebels will take on their return. It is thought they will reach Gettysburg to-night. They marched from Chambersburg this morning.
