DEAR FRIEND: Our quet prairie home has b aen
thrown into state of considerable excitement by the
arrival of Gen. Harvey and his command ia our

twenty -four days in getting here from Fort Kearay
He stopped elk days to throv up small 500 fort a.
Ash Hollow for company OF infantry thereby losing
Elk Gays, and leaving seventy men without any pros
pee. Of adequate return for such loes for single
company Of infantry at that point affords no protec-
ton 10 TIE road whatever.
The ball STOW op'n, and the country is embarked
in one of the most extensive dian wars that it has
Lad on its bands for this many day. Is cos must far
exceed that of the Florida the layd trans
