Maj.-Gen. COUCH,
Cmdg. Department of the Susquehanna, Chambersburg, Pa.:

Baltimore,

June 14, 1863.

Ewell, with Jackson's old division and in force, has been fighting us since last night at Winchester, and is pressing on to Martinsburg. I have not the means to check him at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad or at the Potomac River. I shall concentrate all I can to hold Maryland Heights.

ROBT. S. SCHENCK,
Maj.-Gen., Cmdg.
