LOUISIANA AND THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF KANSAS,
Fort Leavenworth, July 18, 1864.
Colonel FORD,
Kansas City:
Arrived last night. Intelligent men from Ridgeley and Weston report
squads of rebels from twenty to fifty strong prowling about Weston
and Ridgeley swearing vengeance. They speak of Centreville, Clay
County, as a rendezvous. You should have your headquarters at
Weston, with, also, forces at Liberty and Parkville, and you need a
strorig moving force by land and water. You should have all your
regiments and more, and have command of the sub-district. I still
keep a picket in Weston, and will support you as far as possible.

Arkansas, with the view of cutting General Steele's communication, and
that Generals Shelby, McCray and company design making a raid into
this State in heavy force in September. Everything is quiet through-
out the district now. The farmers are securing a fair crop of grain and
hay.
