PATTERSON, March 11, 1865.
Colonel J. L. BEVERIDGE:
Captain Leeper has returned. he was within twelve miles of Doniphan. It is said that 200 rebels are at Doniphan, but he does not think it so. He thinks that they are trying to collect their forces and the citizens so as to attack Patterson. They killed tow noted guerrillas on Little Black River, viz, Dick Graham and Green Meadows. The captain has twelve men.
