They have pickets on the railroad and pike to the right of Damascus. The rebels are in force at Woodbine, on the turnpike, at that place. General Wool's pickets killed three rebel pickets night before last. They are also at Clarksburg. on the Georgetown road. to the left of Trinity. There is said to he a large force at Harristown (Hyattstown), six miles to the left of Damascus. There is a man at Trinity who has been in the habit of visiting the rebels ever since they came into that section of emint•y. I think he had better be sent to headquarters. I sent out a patrol party this morning at three o'clock to scout the road to Damascus. They have not yet returned.</p> | + | <p>at eleven o'clock.

| <p>Lieutenant Easton of this regiment left camp at 10 a.m. to-day with four men, to obtain information in the neighborhood of Damascus. He has just returned, and reports having met and driven in their pickets two and a half miles from Hyattstown. on the road to Damascus. He wounded one of their men and chased the others into the reserve at the foot of the hill leading to Hyattstown. The reserve seemed to number about a company. The people there represented the enemy to be in force, with cavalry at Ridgeville, on the National road, and that their pickets are two miles this side of that place, on the road from Damascus. If such is the case, Captain Cutts and Captain Van Buren, who went out on that road at 4 p.m., will meet them. The last I heard from Captain Cutts, he was at Damascus, and was about starting for Ridgeville. I send another troop to Damascus to cover him.</p> | <p>Lieutenant Easton of this regiment left camp at 10 a.m. to-day with four men, to obtain information in the neighborhood of Damascus.
