PATTERSON, MO., December 19, 1863.
General FISK:
My scouts came in to-night from toward Doniphan. They report that Reves has got a colonel's commission, and is conscripting every man between the ages of eighteenth and forty-five years, and has ordered all to report to him for duty, and when they all get together he will have 1,000 men. Can this old scoundrel not be taken in our run ut of the country? He is said to be about Doniphan.
W. T. LEEPER,
Captain, Commanding Post.
