Eaton, Assistant Adjutant-General, Springfield, Missouri: sir: According to the order of Major-General Fremont, I left the camp south of the Pomme de Terre River on Thursday the 24th instant, at half-past 8 o'clock P. M., and proceeded toward Springfield. About eight miles from that place I captured five men belonging to picket guard, and foraging parties. A sixth escaped and gave the alarm to the rebels. I reached Springfield, a distance of fifty-one miles, at three P. M. on the 25th.
