Headquarters Missouri Guards, Jefferson city, June 4. To the Brigadier-Generals commanding the several military districts in Missouri:

It has therefore been deemed necessary to supply this lack by appointing a commander of this place, having surveillance over the city and its vicinity.
I therefore call upon the city authorities, as well as the authorities of this coun
