troops already at Helena) a force of about 8,000 infantry and five batteries, to form, with troops to be sent from Missouri, an expedition against the enemy in Arkansas. Maj.-Gen. Frederick Steele was sent to command this force. At the same time, the cavalry division under Brigadier-General Davidson, at Pilot Knob, Mo., was ordered to move south, through the eastern part of Arkansas, and effect a junction with the force at Helena for the expedition against Little Rock. Davidson reached Wittsburg on the St. Francis river July 28th, and opened communication with the Federals at Helena. In northwest Arkansas, meanwhile, the situation was disturbed and threatening, on account of the movements of Blunt and his Federal Indian allies and the despondency of the people, caused by the ravages and ruin they had suffered, and the news of continued disaster to the armies of the South. The tyrannies of the military rule on both sides had brought the people to a state of detestation of war a

irardeau when the garrison left by Grant at Helena, on the right bank of the Mississippi, was ordered to undertake an expedition into the western section of Arkansas, toward which the Southern general had retired, and whence the Confederate cavalry obtained nearly all its forage. Colonel Clayton left Helena on the 6th of May with about one thousand men, traversed the whole section of country between White River and the St. Francis, and finally proceeded northward as far as the village of Wittsburg on the last-mentioned stream. But Marmaduke, going to meet him, soon compelled him to withdraw. The Federal troops, divided into two columns, came near being captured on the 11th of May. Having reached Taylor's Creek, Clayton succeeded at last in repulsing the attacks of the enemy, and was thus enabled to cover his movements under shelter of L'Anguille River, while on his right Colonel Jenkins held General Carter likewise in check at Mount Vernon, inflicting upon him a loss of about one

r an easy prey. From Vicksburg. The Chronicle publishes rebel dispatches from Richmond journals of the 14th and says: "Accounts of the operations of Grant's army to the 17th do not differ materially from the rebel reports already published. The impression is gaining ground that Grant is perfect master of his situation. Warrenton is in our possession, and trains are hauling stores from that point. It is reported at Helena that Price and Marmaduke have a force of 10,000 strong at Wittsburg. Greensville, Miss., a town of some 400 inhabitants, is entirely destroyed." Grant's move is a splendid need of during which will place his name above that of all others in this war. It will be won by his daring, or all will be lost in irretrievable defeat. He landed sixty miles below Vicksburg.

he South who would be glad of peace, but they dare not say so. The War in Arkansas. A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat sends the following: Wittsburg, Thursday, July 30, 1863. --Our division reached here on the 28th, driving Ketchen's regiment and Walker's brigade down the ridge. We have opened a communicatio the swamps have numbers of cattle. Price, however, has carried off all the negroes and cattle he could gather on this side of the White river. This point (Wittsburg) is the fecal point of Eastern Arkansas, and should have been made the base of operations against Little Rock, instead of Springfield and Rolla. The Memphis andtle Rock, the Chalk Bluff and Helena Road, all diverge nearly here, and the position on the ridge can be made almost impregnable, with a primary base, if you please, at Memphis, and the secondary one at Wittsburg, the objective point being White river, which once reached and bridged, becomes your third and last base of supplies.
