Fayetteville, Ark.:Paragraph 1 of General Orders, No. 3, current series, is as follows:
I. Lieutenant-Colonel Bishop, First Arkansas Cavalry, is, at his own request, hereby relieved from duty as chief of cavalry. District of Southwest Missouri, and will report to his regiment for duty.
This order has been approved at department headquarters. Colonel Harrison will be detained here nine or ten days on court-martial. You will therefore have full command of all troops about Fayetteville, and will immediately move the largest portion of the mounted troops, including artillery, that can with prudence possibly be spared from Fayetteville, to guard forage wagons east and southeast, disposing of the troops in two or tree bodies or battalions in such a manner that each will be able to support the other and protect the road and telegraph line as fully as they now do. I will issue full orders before Harrison returns. You may expect to retain command in the field for some time. Inform me of all your movements; look daily after forage, and see that all Government animals are fully supplied.

Brigadier-General, Commanding.
