Gen. Schenck:

Sandy Hook, Md.,

June 17, 1863.

Our scouts report the country clear of any masses of rebel troops. Our information as to the route of the rebel forces is inconclusive. The best inference is that they have gone through Romney, via Oldfield, toward Staunton. Am expecting the arrival of the two regiments every moment. Milroy's men are still coming in, but in less numbers than I had hoped.
