Brig.-Gen. KELLEY:

BEVERLY,

May 28, 1864.

My own scouts, who have been beyond Franklin, and Gen. Hunter's scouts, who came through from Cedar Creek and arrived last night, concur in this statement. The rebel forces passed through Staunton on 21st, going to join Lee. Have written you the particulars. There is no doubt of its correctness.

T. M. HARRIS,
Col., Cmdg.
