Price's victory.

At last we have news that is not doubtful, giving us one of the most complete victories of the war. The number of prisoners that fell into Price's hands is the largest over captured by Confederate arms, save by Jackson at Harper's Ferry. The achievement is a brilliant one for the Western Hero, and is a grand addition to our successes in the trans-Mississippi campaign. --The prisoners taken there must throw the balance in our favor, and will dispose the Yankees to more liberality in the matter of exchanges.
