Maj.-Gen. HALLECK,
Gen.-in-Chief:

January 17, 1864. (Received 3.30 p. m.)

Your telegram to Gen. Meade has just been received. Gen. Meade has not returned. Scouts from these headquarters returned this morning. Report Longstreet has had no re-enforcements from Lee of late, and that Heth's division that went to Staunton on Christmas is returning to its old camps. A deserter from the First Maryland Cavalry (rebel), who left his regiment on the 13th instant, states no re-enforcements have been sent away from Lee's army to Longstreet of late, and everything is quiet.

JOHN SEDGWICK,
Maj.-Gen., Cmdg.
