Gen. KELLEY,
Cmdg. Cumberland, Md.:

October 13, 1862

Governor Curtin reports that he has been informed that a force of rebels were within 8 miles of Concord, in Franklin Country, this morning, and that they stole 1,500 horses last night. This may be a part of Stuart's cavalry, which went to Chambersburg. Please direct all your commanders to keep a sharp lookout for their return, and keep scouts well out toward the Pennsylvania line, so as to intercept them, if possible.

R. B. MARCY,
Chief of Staff.
