GENERAL McDOWELL; Manassas Junction:



General McClellan at 6。30 P。M。 yesterday telegraphed that Fitz…John

Porter's division had fought and driven 13;000 of the enemy; under

General Branch; from Hanover Court…House; and was driving them from a

stand they had made on the railroad at the time the messenger left。

Two hours later he telegraphed that Stoneman had captured an engine

and six cars on the Virginia Central; which he at once sent to

communicate with  Porter。  Nothing further from McClellan。



If Porter effects a lodgment on both railroads near Hanover

Court…House; consider whether your forces in front of Fredericksburg

should not push through and join him。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL G。 B。 McCLELLAN。



WASHINGTON; May 28; 1862。



MAJOR…GENERAL McCLELLAN:



What of F。J。 Porter's expedition?  Please answer。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL I。 McDOWELL。



WASHINGTON。 May 28; 1862。  4 P。M。



GENERAL McDOWELL; Manassas Junction:



You say General Geary's scouts report that they find no enemy this

side of the Blue Ridge。  Neither do I。 Have they been to the Blue

Ridge looking for them。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL I。 McDOWELL。



WASHINGTON; May 28; 1862。   5。40 P。M。



GENERAL McDOWELL; Manassas Junction:



I think the evidence now preponderates that Ewell and Jackson are

still about Winchester。  Assuming this; it is for you a question of

legs。  Put in all the speed you can。  I have told Fremont as much;

and directed him to drive at them as fast as possible。  By the way; I

suppose you know Fremont has got up to Moorefield; instead of going

into Harrisonburg。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL G。 B。 McCLELLAN



WASHINGTON May 28; 1862。  8。40 P。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL McCLELLAN:



I am very glad of General F。 J。 Porter's victory。  Still; if it was a

total rout of the enemy; I am puzzled to know why the Richmond and

Fredericksburg railroad was not seized again; as you say you have all

the railroads but the Richmond and Fredericksburg。  I am puzzled to

see how; lacking that; you can have any; except the scrap from

Richmond to West Point。  The scrap of the Virginia Central from

Richmond to Hanover Junction; without more; is simply nothing。  That

the whole of the enemy is concentrating on Richmond; I think cannot

be certainly known to you or me。  Saxton; at Harper's Ferry informs

us that large forces; supposed to be Jackson's and Ewells; forced his

advance from Charlestown today。  General King telegraphs us from

Fredericksburg that contrabands give certain information that 15;000

left Hanover Junction Monday morning to reinforce Jackson。  I am

painfully impressed with the importance of the struggle before you;

and shall aid you all I can consistently with my view of due regard

to all points。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM FROM SECRETARY STANTON

TO GENERAL FREMONT。



WASHINGTON; May 28; 1862。



MAJOR…GENERAL JOHN C。 FREMONT; Moorefield:



The order to remain at Moorefield was based on the supposition that

it would find you there。



Upon subsequent information that the enemy were still operating in

the vicinity of Winchester and Martinsburg; you were directed to move

against the enemy。



The President now again directs you to move against the enemy without

delay。   Please acknowledge the receipt of this; and the time

received。



EDWIN M。 STANTON;  Secretary of War。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL MARCY。



WASHINGTON; May 29; 1862。  10 A。M。



GENERAL R。 B。 MARCY; McClellan's Headquarters:



Yours just received。  I think it cannot be certainly known whether

the force which fought General Porter is the same which recently

confronted McDowell。  Another item of evidence bearing on it is that

General Branch commanded against Porter; while it was General

Anderson who was in front of McDowell。  He and McDowell were in

correspondence about prisoners。

A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL G。 B。 McCLELLAN。



WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON CITY; D。 C。;

May 29; 1862。  10。30 A。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL McCLELLAN:



I think we shall be able within three days to tell you certainly

whether any considerable force of the enemyJackson or any one else

is moving on to Harper's Ferry or vicinity。  Take this expected

development into your calculations。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL N。 P。 BANKS。



WASHINGTON; May 29; 1862。



MAJOR…GENERAL BANKS; Williamsport; Maryland:



General McDowell's advance should; and probably will; be at or near

Front Royal at twelve (noon) tomorrow。  General Fremont will be at or

near Strasburg as soon。  Please watch the enemy closely; and follow

and harass and detain him if he attempts to retire。  I mean this for

General Saxton's force as well as that immediately with you。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL  FREMONT



WASHINGTON; May 29; 1862。  12 M。



MAJOR…GENERAL FREMONT; Moorefield; Virginia:



General McDowell's advance; if not checked by the enemy; should; and

probably will; be at Front Royal by twelve (noon) to…morrow。  His

force; when up; will be about 20;000。  Please have your force at

Strasburg; or; if the route you are moving on does not lead to that

point; as near Strasburg as the enemy may be by the same time。  Your

despatch No。30 received and satisfactory。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL I。 McDOWELL。



WASHINGTON; May 29; 1862。



MAJOR…GENERAL McDOWELL; Manassas Junction:



General Fremont's force should; and probably will; be at or near

Strasburg by twelve (noon) tomorrow。  Try to have your force; or the

advance of it; at Front Royal as soon。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL MARCY。



WASHINGTON; May 29; 1862。  1。20 P。M。



GENERAL R。 B。 MARCY:



Your despatch as to the South Anna and Ashland being seized by our

forces this morning is received。  Understanding these points to be on

the Richmond and Fredericksburg railroad; I heartily congratulate the

country; and thank General McClellan and his army for their seizure。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL I。 McDOWELL。



WASHINGTON; May 30; 1862。  10 A。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL McDOWELL; Manassas Junction:



I somewhat apprehend that Fremont's force; in its present condition;

may not be quite strong enough in case it comes in collision with the

enemy。  For this additional reason I wish you to push forward your

column as rapidly as possible。  Tell me what number your force

reaching Front Royal will amount to。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL N。 P。 BANKS。



WASHINGTON; May 30; 1862。  10。15 A。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL BANKS;

Williamsport; Maryland; via Harper's Ferry:



If the enemy in force is in or about Martinsburg; Charlestown; and

Winchester; Or any or all of them; he may come in collision with

Fremont; in which case I am anxious that your force; with you and at

Harper's Ferry; should so operate as to assist Fremont if possible;

the same if the enemy should engage McDowell。  This was the meaning

of my despatch yesterday。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL I。 McDOWELL。



WASHINGTON; May 30; 1862。  12。40。



MAJOR…GENERAL McDOWELL; Rectortown:



Your despatch of to…day received and is satisfactory。   Fremont has

nominally  22;000; really about 17;000。  Blenker's division is part

of it。  I have a despatch from Fremont this morning; not telling me

where he is; but he says:

〃Scouts and men from Winchester represent Jackson's force variously

at 30;000 to 60;000。  With him Generals Ewell and Longstreet。〃



The high figures erroneous; of course。  Do you know where Longstreet

is?  Corinth is evacuated and occupied by us。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL  FREMONT。



WASHINGT0N; May 30; 1862。  2。30 P。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL FREMONT; Moorefield; Virginia:



Yours; saying you will reach Strasburg or vicinity at 5 P。M。

Saturday; has been received and sent to General McDowell; and he

directed to act in view of it。  You must be up to the time you

promised; if possible。



Corinth was evacuated last night; and is occupied by our troops to…

day; the enemy gone south to Okolotia; on the railroad to Mobile。



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GENERAL I。 McDOWELL。



WAR DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON CITY; May 30; 1862。9。30 P。M。



MAJOR…GENERAL McDOWELL; Rectortown; Va。:



I send you a despatch just received from Saxton at Harper's Ferry:

〃The rebels are in line of battle in front of our lines。  They have

nine pieces of artillery; and in position; and cavalry。   I shelled

the woods in which they were; and they in return threw a large number

of shells into the lines and tents from which I moved last night to

take up a stronger position。  I expect a great deal from the battery
