The decided course pursued by the Commanding General of the Department, with the mutinous companies of the Fourth Missouri Infantry (late Third U. S. Reserve Corps,) in sending them to work on the fortifications of Cairo, has had a most beneficial effect. The men so sent to Cairo have unanimously confessed their error, offered to obey orders, and asked permission to serve in other regiments. We are pleased to learn that their request has been granted. They are released from arrest and nearly every man has enlisted in some other regiment, and gone into the field. This has produced the greatest satisfaction. – Mo. Dem.
