DEVALL'S BLUFF, ARK., November 7, 1864-7.15 p.m.

Captain C. H. DYER, Little Rock:

Captain Claflin, at station seven miles out on railroad, reports that a corporal and two privates of Company A (one mile beyond) were captured, probably yesterday, at Mr. Wright's, two miles and a half from camp white absent without leave, and have not since been heard from. I do not exactly comprehend the following portion of your dispatch of 3 p. m.:

When the scout of the 200 men of the Ninth Kansas returns send a scout to Batesville from Colonel Clopper's command, and which you will relieve the pickets of the Ninth Kansas now on duty.

What is to be done with the 200 men for Ninth Kansas when they return?

COLONEL: I am directed by General Carr to send 200 of your men on an important scout. I trust by having your picket relieved, and other details, you can make up the number. Have an immediate inspection, and report as soon as possible the effective force you can send to-day. Ten day's rations will be taken.
