Assistant Adjutant-General.

BALTIMORE, MD., October 17, 1864-6.30 p. m.

Colonel LAWRENCE:

I will immediately issue the proper orders for bringing up Company K, One hundred and ninety-fourth Pennsylvania, to this city, and forward them to General Tyler. I think it entirely impossible to get them here to-morrow, as a large number of them are as much as twenty-five miles beyond Salisbury. I will immediately telegraph down, and send down my quartermaster to arrange the transportation and look out for the public property. We may perhaps get them on to-morrow night.

Respectfully, &c.,

HENRY H. LOCKWOOD,

Brigadier-General.

Permit me to say that I do not think there is any intention by rebel refugees in Canada to attempt any other depredations on the northern lakes; at least, I hear of none.
