GLASGOW, MO., August 3, 1864.

Major-General PLEASONTON:

I have just arrived from Lexington. The country along the south side of the river is swarming with guerrillas. They were t Miami, Cambridge, and Arrow Rock in small parties yesterday. They fired at some militia opposite Miami yesterday without doing any harm. To-day a body of rebels marched past Plains City, in Saline County, in a westerly direction. The rebels on the north side are very active. All seem to be making toward Crooked River. They have killed a great many men within the last few days. A squadron of cavalry thrown at Frankfort could do very valuable service watching rebel movements in Saline. This town is entirely loyal, and the only one so in Saline. I leave for up the river at daylight.

HENRY SUESS,

Commanding Fanny Ogden.

SAINT JOSEPH, MO., August 3, 1864.

Major-General ROSECRANS:

Your telegram, with instructions as to the new regiments, is received. I shall try to make them all twelve-month's regiments. The two Saint Joseph regiments, under Colonels Harding, Forty-third, and Bradshaw, Forty-fourth, are well at work. I have not heard from Eberman or Kutzner. Will publish posters as directed forthwith. I would recommend the additional regiment in Pike and adjoining counties, and will thank you for an early conclusion on that point in order that I may nominate the officers for the same and block out the work. Can you not authorize one cavalry regiment?

C. B. FISK,

Brigadier-General.
