as well as up the river. The force at the mouth of Lookout Creek has left, but have probably gone farther down the river. There has been possibly some diminution of the force immediately about the city, but they have not gone beyond supporting distance. The enemy seen to fear our crossing the river above the city, and are guarding and fortifying all the crossings. There is a force at Kelley's Ferry, and citizens say we have none on our side. I can hardly credit this.

Your obedient servant,
