One hundred and thirty guerrillas crossed the Missouri River to the north side on Friday morning last just below Dover. This is probably the band I telegraphed you of yesterday had passed through La Fayette County north-Todd's.

I learn by telegraph from Lexington that 150 guerrillas attacked a camp of thirty militia in Ray County, seven miles from Lexington, yesterday evening. The militia were badly cut up.

A band of 110 rebels are in Laclede County to-day and moving rapidly in a northwest direction. Major Cosgrove, commanding at Lebanon, thinks this force will cross the Osage about twelve or fifteen miles from Linn Creek. I have a good force on their trail, but it is doubtful if they can be brought to a stand.

The general commanding directs that you keep a lookout for this force, holding your troops well in hand and be ready to concentrate.
