The resignation of several brigadier-generals and the unfitness of others has forced General Dodge to apply for two or three officers of that grade to serve in Missouri. Discreet and prudent men are needed. He asks for Brigadier General J. W. Sprague, Brigadier General J. A. Williamson, Brigadier General J. C. Veatch, Brigadier General J. W. Fuller. Two or three of these officers, or others equally good, are greatly needed. Please answer.
