General MiLRoy, Bloody Run: Have scouts to find out the presence of the enemy. Have your force so as to concentrate on Bloody Run or vicinity, or move on McConnellsburg, as circumstances may determine. You must not be scrupulous about pete horses so as to move rapidly ; put two men on one horse. Should they pass Bedford, force foie rear guard, and compel them to stand. Yous well-known activity will suggest a thousand means to harass and scatter them. _Brooks said that he would look after the passes west of the county; he may not hurry. 3. N. COUCH, Major-General.
