LOUISIANA AND- THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI.
NEOSHO, Mo., October 19, 1864.
Colonel BRUTSCHE,
Commanding Southwestern District Missouri :
COLONEL: I have the honor to inform you that I have this moment
arrived from Bentonville, Ark. I found no large force in that region.
I was fifteen miles southwest of Bentonville, at what is called the
Corner Springs. Captain Herndon had collected his company at that
point on the day before I got there. He had seventy-five men. He
went in the direction of Cane Hill to join Buck Brown. Buck Brown
had called his men together, and was west of Fayetteville, Ark.
Brooks, I think, is there. I got two reports concerning their object in
concentrating their forces; first was to attack Fayetteville, Ark.; sec-
ond, to attack a train they were looking for; the latter I am inclined to
believe. I killed two noted bushmen on the trip. I will send you
what available forces Captain Ruark has, and I will keep on the look-
out. You will keep me posted in regard to Price's movements. I do
not know what to do in regard to moving Captain Ray. There has been
a copy of your order sent to Captain Ray at Newtonia, and one to
Mount Vernon. Be sure and keep me posted in regard to Price's
movements.
Colonel, I have the honor to be, your most obedient servant,
MILTON BURCH,
Major Eighth Regt. Cav. Missouri State Militia, Comdg. Post.
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF SOUTHWEST MISSOURI,
Springfield, Mo., October 19, 1864.
Colonel HARRISON,
Cassville :
I expect the Rolla stage this morning. When it arrives I will ar.
range to send you the mail, supplies for the home guards, and train
for the refugee's. No news from Price, only the capture of Sedalia.
Price is reported at Lexington, Fagan north of the Missouri River
toward Kansas, and Clark's brigade south of the Missouri, moving
northeast from Boonville. Will give you the news received per stage
this morning. Colonel Bishop and Captain Rubey left yesterday morn-
ing.
