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.
