SAINT LOUIS, Febuary 12, 1862-3 p. m.
Major General GEORGE B. McCLELLAN:
It is reported that Van Dorn, with a large force, is marching from Fort Smith to re-enforce Price, and that General Frost is moving from Pocahontas in the same direction. I shall immediately move the forces it Ironton to Doniphan, to either force Frost to return, or attack and destroy the depot at Pocahontas. Please answer about Ohio battery and other troops ordered from this department to Kansas. Can I use them? I greatly need them at this moment.
H. W. HALLECK,
Major-General.
