accept. st once. the offer ] made you, Of
two thousand troops. to augment tho
power of the commander Of the Depart
meut Of Kansas.
did not intend to advise "a to '1publio

none havs Q deepe. interest or stronger
determination to aid in crushing this re-
bellion than have; nor will l allow
minor matters to divert me from that
purpose. go r--. .E-.' ,rr '-fs
l know you have oil portions Of the
country to look after. In that gigantic
work you have my fullest and most cor
dial cooperation.
Ksnsss has been. and still 10, in deep
distress. and needs the fostering care Of
the Government. therefore. ] made to you
the proposition did in my cOmmunioA.
tion Of the 18th inst. 90 - r
This care and assistance I feel the citi-
gems Of my State have right to clam ss
your hands. They have been depleted in
blood and treasure for the common cause.
Their sufferiugs and sacrifices have been
great. much grsstsr than sny other loyal
State, aud this, too, because her soss
have gone forth to 6eht the battles Of
their country. and left their homes in the
care Of the Government. Yet their homes
have been visited BY the assassis. and
ere again threatened BY these mUrdsrops
outlaws. 1t was to prevent . return Of
these disasters that | urged the acceptance
Of the troops offered, and in that spirit.
and for that purpose. again respectfully
but earnestly renew it.
Very resp'u'y, your obt. ssrvt..

HALLEcK's DECISION.
| HEADQUARTERS OF TIE ARMY.
Report. as to the military forcs in
General Curtis command. and upon the
necessity and txpedisncy of calling out
militia force in knnsas for one hundred
days:
!. According to Gen. Curtis otIeisE
report. dated May 8. his aggregate force
present in the Department Of Ksnsss.
vas 5, 1877. of whom 1856 were sick or in
confinement. leaving All effective pres-
ent for duty. More than four thousand
Of these were csvsIry. On the 18th int.

airy. "a new resimon' aggregate 79l.
was assigned to Gen. Curtis. be seknowl-
edging receipt of order. This makes the
aggregate force now present In the De-
partment Of Kansas. 5.9SS. Of which five
Thousand and FIVE hundred are effective for
duty. Of whom nearly Eve thousand srs
cavalry.
il. On consultation with Lieut.. Gen.
eraf Grant prior to the assignment OF the
18th cavalry it WAS deemed -tbss Gen.
Curtis command was sufficiently strong
for the defsnss Of his Department. - no
large rebel force could reach it, 80 long
as Gen. Steele held his line Of the Ar
kansas river W.
1t can hardly Be expected that a''oti-
cient military forcs can be pl.cea in
Kansas. MissoSri. or any other Border
State. to absolutely prevent raids from
rebel bsnds Of robbers and murdsrers.
To attempt this. it woald bs necessary to
abandon all active operations in the 6sld.
1t is believed. however. that Kansas 70 ss
well protected sgsinst such raids ss Mls-
souri,. Tennessee. Kentucky, Wses rFh-
ginia or Msryiard. ~. 70 crsta-7
Militis on short call are very little uss
in the 6eld. as compared With the expense.
and should be rssestsd to only 10 cssss Of
