HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF NORTH MISSOURI,
Macon, May 24, 1865.

Colonel A. F. DENNY,

Do not move troops away from their positions in your sub-district until further orders from these headquarters. They are more needed for home defense than to go to Clay County.

In accordance with the instructions of lieutenant-general commanding, organize your artillery that is mounted into cavalry. Organize them where they now are when possible. Let their guns, &c., be sent to Saint Louis, except at places where they are needed to man forts. Take only companies enough at first to use what stock you have in your batteries.

G. M. DODGE,

Major-General.
