“'Are yot going to meet Gen. Biggs with your army?'
“The General responded: 'Yes, if I can ever find him.'
“'Well, General, if you continue marching in the direction that you are now going, you will find him to-morrow.'
“The General laughed and said, 'I hope so; but, my dear lady, he is near Romulus.'
“'No, General, he is not; he is at Fayette.'
“'At Fayette?' said the General with astonishment. 'You say he is at Fayette?'
“'Yes, sir, I do; I saw his camp this day; I was not in the camp, but in sight of it. I have been at Smallwood, some fifteen miles south of Fayette, and know that Gen. Long-path, with his corps from Gen. Law's command in Virginia has joined Biggs. The last of these troops passed on yesterday for Fayette, and I was told by a well-informed person that the corps would increase Bigg's army to between eighty and ninety thousand men.'
“'Impossible!' said Rosenfelt; 'he would not have more than sixty thousand with these.'
“'Yes; but, General, you must know that 20,000 of the Victor's Hill paroled prisoners captured by Gen. Silent have been collected together and organized into a corps under Gen. Stephenson, and are now in camp with Biggs.'
“'Is that so?' inquired Rosenfelt.
