The Fifth Regiment, Colonel Penick, was subsequently mustered out
of service, as was also the remainder of the Second Battalion; thus the
force was reduced to the limit mentioned above.
In consequence of the withdrawal from the State of large numbers of
United States Volunteers, this force now was necessarily scattered more
than ever; the majority of it, however, was operating in the most threat-
ened part of the State, viz: the Southwest. After the battle of Prairie
Grove, and the defeat of the rebel forces in that engagement, a portion of
theregiments in that locality were withdrawn to the central portion of the
State, where they have since been mostly stationed, being distributed so
that nearly every county has one or more companies within its limits.
In a subsequent part of this report, I will present the present actual
strength of this force.
It can be said with truth, that in every instance where the Missouri
State Militia have met the enemy, they have fought like veterans. At no
time have they disgraced their State, and whenever they have been called
upon to go beyond its borders, they have done so readily and eagerly,
more especially if the prospect of a fight was immediate; as for example,
one instance may be noted, when the Sixth Cavalry, Missouri State
Militia, Colonel Catherwood commanding, with a portion of the Eighth,
during the past summer, marched to Fort Gibson, to join General Blunt,
and crossing the Arkansas river, pursued the rebels to Red River, Arkan-
