rce of rebel cavalry, belonging to the brigade under the command of General Rosser. After fighting gallantly and until fifty-seven out of their number (seventy-five) were either killed or captured, the remaining eighteen made their way in safety to camp. Several of those who escaped found their feet frozen when they reached camp. Colonel William S. Hawkins, of the Hawkins scouts, a leader in the scouting service of the rebel forces under General Bragg, was captured at the house of a Mr. Mayberry, on Lick Creek, Kentucky, by Sergeant Brewer, of Major Breathitt's battalion of Kentucky cavalry.--at Memphis, Tennessee, the thermometer stood at ten degrees below zero, and at Cairo, Illinois, at sixteen degrees below. A number of soldiers were frozen to death at Island No.10.--the Richmond Whig, in an article setting forth the condition of military and naval affairs at the South, concluded its remarks as follows: Thus we find we have an army poorly clad, scantily fed, indifferently e
placed in position, and a brief skirmish put the rebels to flight, but the nature of the country is such, that a retreating force by the use of artillery can annoy or delay their pursuers very easily, and this they were bold enough to do. Taking advantageous positions, and placing a gun or two in a battery, they could compel a delay to deploy and advance in line, and when closely pressed they would hurry on with their guns, leaving tired infants far behind. The rebels were found to be Colonel Mayberry's brigade of mounted infantry, with four pieces of artillery. The fight here was principally with artillery, and the loss was slight. Pursuit was continued six miles, when the men were recalled, and encamped near Benton. Meanwhile, from despatches captured, General McArthur learned that General Wirt Adams was on his way from Canton to cross the Big Black and join May-berry with three thousand more men that night. Confident of his ability to contend with the entire rebel force thus

Miss Richings' Benefit. --The accomplished actress who has achieved so many dramatic triumphs in Richmond, appears before the public to-night as a beneficiary, and we expect to see a brilliant audience at the Theatre. The play selected for this occasion is the comedy of "Extremes," which has heretofore been received with marked favor, and which, as it contains some rich scenes from American political life, is now peculiarly appropriate.--Miss Caroline Richings will sing some of her best songs, and her father will play that fine character which is emphatically his own, of Mark Mayberry. The piece is well cast, and will be produced with more than usual care. We sincerely hope that Miss Richings will have as good a benefit as she deserves; and if this hope is fulfilled, she will have a crowded house.
cks and taking them to pleces. The enemy left at Fort Ouachita a large quantity of clothing, some provisions and one field-piece. At Fort Arbuckle, also, they abandoned various Government stores and supplies, most of which were stolen and carried away by the Indians before the Texans got there. After taking possession of Fort Arbuckle, it was garrisoned by a company of Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, under Capt. McKinney. Fort Ouachita was garrisoned by the Dead Shot Rangers, under Capt. Mayberry. Mr. Peel also states that the Chickasaws held a council on the 24th of May, and formally dissolved their connection with the United States Government, and issued a manifesto to the Choctaws, Creeks, Cherokees, Seminoles, and to the Reserve Indians, advising them to secede from the Old Union, and to petition the Southern Confederacy to be received as a distinct organized Territory, instead of an Indian Territory. The friendly Indians are all in favor of it. They had ordered off all

Price sent back for the other brigades of Little's division. They came forward at double-quick, but did not reach the field until the enemy were driven back from every position more than six hundred yards, with the loss of over fifty prisoners and nine pieces of artillery, Darkness prevented further pursuit, and Little's division bivouacked on the field. Our loss in killed, wounded and missing will reach two hundred and fifty. Gen. Little was killed. Cols. Whitfield, Gilmore, and Mayberry were wounded. The enemy having received heavy reinforcements during the night, Gen. Price determined to carry out the orders of the previous morning, and the army left Luka between seven and eight o'clock in the morning, bringing off the captured stores. The attack which the enemy made upon our rear guard was repulsed with severe loss to them. Our loss was only one man. The 3d Louisiana, Whitfield's Legion, and 3d Texas Cavalry behaved with distinguished gallantry, and were the greatest
