This morning we are aroused early by the shrill notes of the bugle. By day-light the Tenth Missouri Cavalry, Seventh Kansas, and a battallion of the Fifteenth Illinois Cavalry report to Colonel Rowett, who assumes command and leads the column forth on the Purdy road. We pass through Purdy about 3 P. M., and proceeding about ten miles farther the command goes into camp for the night on the Lexington road.
