Major General LEW. WALLACE,

Commanding, &c., Covington, Ky.:

GENERAL: The force of regularly organized troops is accumulating so rapidly that I trust you will shortly be able to return to their homes the unorganized forces now under your command. Those belonging to the city will no doubt be quite as useful kept here, ready to turn out at a moment's warning, as they would be if kept in the field. By to-morrow I hope you may be able to dispense with their immediate presence. Several regiments are reported to arrive to-night.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

H. G. WRIGHT,

Major-General, Commanding.
