The Second Missouri Artillery has 1,400 men, 750 horses; has two years to serve; six batteries in this department, two in Arkansas, three at Johnsonville, Tenn., one at Memphis, Tenn. I would like to use it as cavalry. I am in great need of cavalry and have no use for artillery. Please give me authority to use so much as I desire for cavalry, and order the balance of regiment to report here. If this is done it will relieve me.
