General DODGE,
Fort Leavenworth:
I arrived last night; received dispatches from Lexington that thirty-six and twelve more guerrillas had surrendered, and that 180, under a colonel, had proposed to do so. The men who have not been marauding are destitute of money. I presume I may furnish them transportation out of the State.

Colonel PINGER,
Lexington:
Keep the party from Warsaw which passed up west of Knobnoster. They committed unparalleled outrages south of the Osage. Say nothing as to their future disposition until you hear from me. You may state that they are accused of bad faith.

Lieutenant-Colonel, PINGER,

Be careful about letting 180 rebels losses in Lexington. They should leave the country and stay in a body under guard until they are ready to do so Their own safety requires it. Orders which you will receive by mail notify our future course toward those who may hereafter enter the district. Go on as heretofore with those with whom you are now negotiating.
