Mills, Ark., Dec. 20, 1862. Major-General S. R. Curtis, Commanding Department of the Missouri: General: I have the honor to report that, on the second instant, and four days subsequent to the battle of Cane Hill, or Boston Mountain, of November twenty-eighth, I obtained reliable information that the entire force of infantry and artillery of Gen. Hindman's army had crossed the Arkansas River, and joined Gen. Marmaduke at Lee's Creek, fifteen miles north of Van Buren, to which point the latter foe with as little delay as may be practicable. The brilliant victory of Cane Hill, by which, as you are aware, Gen. Blunt's command drove Marmaduke's forces from that strong position and across the Boston Mountains, occurred on the twenty-eighth of November. From that day the Second and Third brigades of the Kansas division occupied Cane Hill, eighteen miles south-west of Fayetteville, the First brigade (Gen. Salomon's) being left eight miles back north (at this point) to protect the lar
both in regard to its influence upon our own men and the enemy — a detailed statement of the affair, by an eye-witness, cannot be otherwise than interesting. The expedition was planned with the utmost secrecy and carried out with despatch, and in the most successful manner — reflecting credit alike upon those who planned it, the general who commanded, and the officers and men under him. The force placed at the disposal of Gen. Stahel was well under way by four o'clock A. M., Friday, November twenty-eighth. Though there was a cold, drizzling rain falling, and the roads were not in the most desirable condition, the troops moved on with alacrity and were in good spirits at the prospect of having a brush with the enemy. Aldie--sixteen miles--was reached soon after sunrise, where a short halt was made. Leaving the command of Colonel Von Gilsa at this place, General Stahel moved on through Middlebury to Rector's Four Corners--ten miles--where the column again came to a halt. From
deman County Court, late a colonel in the rebel army, and engaged in acts of war against the United States, still persists in treasonable language and acts — giving aid and comfort to armed enemies, and disturbing the peace of this post — he having taken an oath of allegiance to the pretended government of the confederate States, in violation of his oath of office — still adhering to such allegiance, and refusing to take the oath of allegiance to the United States. On the night of November twenty-eighth, he was arrested and brought within the lines, and on that and the two succeeding nights, a party of mounted men, including two commissioned officers, was detailed to guard his premises, and capture guerrillas, who were prowling in the neighborhood, and were said to be entertained at his house. While there, the party was assailed with abusive epithets, and compelled, while in the performance of duty, to listen to disloyal declarations and threats on the part of the wife and daught<
st, (1862,) was addressed to Gen. Lee by Gen. H. W. Halleck, the said General-in-Chief of the armies of the United States, alleging sufficient causes for failure to make early reply to said letter of the sixth July, asserting that no authentic information had been received in relation to the execution of Mumford, but measures will be immediately taken to ascertain the facts of the alleged execution, and promising that Gen. Lee should be duly informed thereof; And whereas, on the twenty-eighth of November last, (1862,) another letter was addressed, under my instructions, by Robert Ould, confederate agent for the exchange of prisoners, under the cartel between the two governments, to Lieut.-Colonel W. H. Ludlow, agent of the United States under said cartel, informing him that the explanation promised in the said letter of Gen. Halleck, of the seventh of August last, had not yet been received, and that if no answer was sent to the government within fifteen days from the delivery of th
