CAMP FIFTEEN MILES EAST OF DONIPHAN,
December 1, 1863.
General FISK:
I arrived here last evening, and find, from reliable information, that there is no force at Doniphan, nor has there been. I have reliable information, however, of a squad of rebels, numbering 90, supposed to be in command of Reves and Sickles. They had a dismounted howitzer with them, carrying it in an ambulance. They were seen 30 miles west of Poplar Bluff, making for Ash Hill Wednesday night, to concentrate, day before yesterday, at about 10 a. m. I shall start for the Ash Hill in a few minutes, and shall reach there to-night.
SAML. MONTGOMERY,
Major.
