care of The Southeast part OF the State TO Cen freh-
tss should ST. LOus be in danger from that difec,
ton troops could easily be called from Illinois aud
Indiana for III defense; moreover, force moving on
ST. Louis from the South would be exposed TO attack
in rear from. Cairo. Hence there seems little or no
danger from that direction. Unless we are speedily
REINFORCED here we will soon lose all we have
gained. Our troops have made long marches, done
much effective service, and suffered no small priya-
tons They have received no pay nor clothing from
the Government, and the small stock furnished by
priyate contribution is now exhausted 80 that uII-
less the Government gives us relief speedily, our
thus far successful campaign will prove II failure.
