willing to certify that he had been out with them in the brush; although, on the other hand, the complaints certified to his good character and loyalty. The provost- marshal is a Wisconsin officer (Captain Rogers) who Captain Jonas says is endeavoring to do his duty. While he was at Lexington five bushwhackers surrendered at Independence. He reports all the troops active, scouting the country.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

G. M. DODGE,

Major- General.
