Maj.-Gen. Schenck, Baltimore:

Winchester, Va.,

January 6. (Via Harper's Ferry.)

Information is received that A. P. Hill and Loring are approaching this place by way of Staunton and New Market in heavy force. I can hold this place, but need re-enforcements, especially cavalry. Could not a force be sent from Washington toward Luray and Port Republic, to cut them off?

R. H. MILROY,
Brig.-Gen.
