CHAP. LIII.) CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.-UNION. 399

                                                        DENVER, September 26, 1864.
Major C. S. CHARLOT:
     I have been informed by E. W. Wynkoop, commanding Fort Lyon, that he is on his way here with Cheyenne and Arapaho chiefs and four white prisoners they gave up. Winter approaches. Third Regiment is full and they know they will be chastised for their outrages and now want peace. I hope that the major-general will direct that they make full restitution and then go on their reserve and stay there.
Would like to hear by telegraph.
                                                                 J. M. CHIVINGTON,
                                                                       Commanding District.
