Gen. B. BRAGG.

WAYNESBOROUGH,

June 6, 1864.

Went in the fight yesterday with an aggregate of 5,600. I have not over 3,000 effective men, including Imboden's cavalry, 800. I don't know where Gen. Elzey is; think he has gone toward Charlottesville. Enemy occupied Staunton this morning Crook will from junction to-night or to-morrow with Hunter. Crook's force reported at 10,000. McCausland and Jackson are falling back upon this place. Hunter has, I think, 10,000 men, with twenty-four pieces of artillery; Crook has thirty.

J. C. VAUGHN,
Brig.-Gen., Cmdg.
