The deliverance of Missouri.

--A correspondent of the Memphis Avalanche writes from Jacksonport, Ark.,March 20th, as follows:

Gen. Van-Dorn will soon have organized a heavy column to advance in Southeast Missouri, which, besides the column already in the Southwest, under the gallant Price, will make two armies of deliverance for Missouri. Suppose Price should push his column to the Missouri river, sweep down that stream and meet around St. Louis, another column under Van Dorn and Jeff. Thompson, which will bag Pope at New Madrid, and; passing up the Mississippi river, units with Price for the deliverance of St. Louis Wouldn't that be Napoleonic! Well, the world may use it, though your correspondent may not survive the battles to be fought to achieve this result. All this is whispered in your ears.

’ The Arkansas; Louisiana, and Texas boys, are responding most promptly to the late requisition. They all mourn the fall of the brave McCulloch and the chivalrous McIntosh. Col. Hebert will soon be released by an exchange, when he will lead his gallant boys, to avenge the death of the heroic spirits that fell at Elkhorn.
