No. 47. Report of Brig. Gen. James Craig, Missouri State Militia. HDQRS. SEVENTH MILITARY DISTRICT OF MISSOURI, Saint Joseph, December 14, 1864.

LIEUTENANT: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th instant calling for a list of the killed, wounded, and captured by the Enrolled Missouri Militia in my district. I regret that the officers of the militia generally neglect to make written reports of their scouts. In the fight in which Bill Anderson was defeated and killed some 6 of his men were killed by the Daviess and Ray County militia, under Acting Lieutenant-Colonel Cox and Major Grimes. Major Pace, Eleventh Missouri Cavalry, at my request, took command of 100 Enrolled Missouri Militia, and had a fight in Clay County, in which he killed 7 bushwhackers; and in an affair at Skinner’s Bridge, in Platte, his command killed 2 others, one of whom was a son of Kemp Woods. Hart, a brother of the notorious Joe, was wounded and captured by a scout sent out from Stewartsville. The military prison of this city is full of prisoners taken by the Enrolled Missouri Militia, who were captured under circumstances which forbid their being shot as gnerrillas; they nearly all surrendered unarmed, and claim to have been conscripted by Thornton, Thrailkill, Welden, or some other leader, and that they each deserted at the first safe opportunity, and surrendered to the nearest military commander of Union forces. Maj. E. S. Castle, jr., had a fight with the bushwhackers at Smithville, Clay County; casualties not recollected, and no report on file. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, JAS. CRAIG. Lieut. W. T. CLARKE, Aide-de-Camp, Macon, Mo.
