Received 11.40 p. m.
Maj.-Gen. Meade, Army of the Potomac:

Chambersburg, Pa.,

July 11, 1863.

My latest information is that the enemy have evacuated Hagerstown. This was 8 o'clock this morning. Part of Ewell's corps fell back, it is supposed, toward Clear Spring. A few cavalry were on the road to Funkstown. I have no information that is positive of the enemy having taken the direction of Clear Spring, across the Conococheague.

D. N. COUCH,
Maj.-Gen.
