General:
I have the honor to inclose the report of Bvt. Lieut Col J.W. Gelray on the recent disturbance in Marshal and Rutherford Counties, between the white and colored people.

While I cannot expect or ask any military interference I deem it proper to forward this report and to recommend that a company of troops (Cavalry if practicable) be stationed at
