Maj. Gen. SAMUEL JONES,
Abingdon:

DUBLIN,

October 19, 1863.

Col. Jackson dispatches Gen. Echols that Averell is about to move in connection with Scammon. Says Averell has 4,000 men. One regiment already moving to Cheat Pass; Staunton or Lewisburg his destination. As Scammon co-operates, I think it must be the latter place. Send me your orders immediately.

CHAS. S. STRINGFELLOW,
Assistant Adjutant-Gen.
