HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE MISSOURI,
Saint Louis, February 10, 1862-12 m.
Major-General McCLELLAN, Washington:
Colonel Holt and others say that troops cannot move by land in Kentucky before well into April. If sufficient forces are sent to the Cumberland, we can by that time be in the heart of Tennessee. Give us the means and we are certain to give the enemy a telling blow.
We have just taken Poplar Bluff and Doniphan, capturing Major Jennings and 29 men of the rebel army.
H. W. HALLECK,
Major-General.
