Covineton, Ky., August 22, 1863, Major-General PARKE: All the troops here can be furnished with transportation to-morrow. What troops shall be sent and will they go to Lexington or

Nicholasville ? GEO. P. WEBSTER, Captain and Assistant Quartermaster,

SOMERSET, August 22, 1863.

Started from Buck Creek this morning at 4.30. Troops arrived well, but trains got along badly. Division trains have very bad teams and wagons. General ammunition and supply train, turned over by Captain Morris, can go anywhere; the others will break down and be hard to get along. Colonel Wolford says road at and beyond Smith’s Ford is very rough. General White started all right.

Have not heard from Colonel Graham. Colonel Wolford’s men will be at Albany in evening; will push troops down to the ford to-day and commence work on it. Will not probably be able to get train up till late to-morrow; it did not all arrive at Buck Creek till this

morning. Men in good spirits. GEO. L. HARTSUFF “Major-General.
