e entire force of infantry and artillery of Gen. Hindman's army had crossed the Arkansas River, and Just before daylight I received a note from Gen. Hindman under a flag of truce, requesting a personaotorious address of their Commanding General, Hindman — issued on the eve of the battle, and a prin that neighborhood that he met the advance of Hindman's forces early in the day. Between eleven andpreserved to immortalize their author, Major-General Hindman! The case mentioned above is not th hour and a half. Present at it were, with Gen. Hindman, his Adjutant-General, Col. Newton, and Genive as he is, it is not to be questioned that Hindman is a man of a high order of ability and of grthem with arms. In the writer's opinion, he (Hindman) is, in every quality that goes to constituteew well in years gone by. But, in Gen. Blunt, Hindman met a man of the sort he did not expect to menth ultimo.

amped at Lindsay's Prairie, fifteen miles south of Maysville, I received reliable information that General Marmaduke, with a force estimated at eight thousand men, was at Cane Hill. I further learned that Marmaduke's command was the advance of Hindman's army, the remainder of which was expected to arrive at Cane Hill on the evening of the twenty-eighth. I immediately determined to attack Marmaduke, and, if possible, defeat him before the arrival of General Hindman with reenforcements. EarlyGeneral Hindman with reenforcements. Early on the morning of the twenty-seventh I ordered all my transportation and commissary trains parked on Lindsay's Prairie, and after detailing a sufficient guard for its protection, I commenced my march with about five thousand men and thirty pieces of artillery, the men taking with them four days rations of hard bread and salt. The distance to be travelled to reach the enemy was thirty-five miles twenty-five of which was made by seven o'clock P. M., of the twenty-seventh, when the command biv

Never fire because your comrades do, nor because the enemy does, nor because you happen to see the enemy, nor for the sake of firing rapidly. Always wait till you are certainly within range of your gun, then single out your man, take deliberate aim, as low down as the knee, and fire. Second. Wd defiled the graves of your kindred. If each man of you will do what I have urged upon you, we will utterly destroy them. We can do this; we must do it; our country will be ruined if we fail. A just God will strengthen our arms and give us a glorious victory. T. C. Hindman, Major-General Commanding. R. C. Newton, A. A.G.

, army of frontier, Van Buren, Ark., December 28. To Major-General Curtis: General: The Stars and Stripes now wave in triumph over Van Buren. On learning that Hindman had been reenforced, and contemplated making another attempt to force his way to Missouri, I determined to attack him. Leaving my transportation north of the mounwent through the woods to destroy some wagons, said to be left somewhere by the rebels. At this time a deserter came in from Fort Smith with the information that Hindman had burned a large part of the fort, including all buildings containing confederate stores; also, that he had burned two steamboats and blown up a magazine, and tternut colors are the prevailing colors in Dixie. Yours, H. J. St. P. S.--In my last report, I forgot to add Henry W. Williams, to the St. Louis rebels in Hindman's army. He is Quartermaster in Frost's division, and as Mother Famer says, looks careworn and old. Louis Kretschmar, son of Clerk Kretschmar, is also in the same

missary and quartermaster's stores which are here. Had it been as successful in its execution as it was bold in its conception, the army of the frontier would have been reduced to terrible straits, and might, perhaps, have even fallen a prey to Hindman. Before describing the actual conflict, it may be well to mention the condition of affairs in Springfield, before the battle. The city of Springfield, like most towns in the South and West, is laid out around a large public square in the cupon the town with solid shot, though they knew that scores of their own friends, both women and prisoners, were exposed to the same danger as our loyal citizens. I had thought that this infamy was reserved for Marmaduke alone; but I learn that Hindman did the same thing at Van Buren, in Arkansas. Gentlemen, said General Brown, who stood on the south-west bastion of Fort No. 4, this is unprecedented; it is barbarous! After several shots from the rebels, our cannon replied, Gen. Brown himsel

oldiers were set on shore with parole, and the officers were retained. Among the parties retained was a German Jew named Elsasser, who had upon his person thirty-two thousand dollars in confederate money. Col. Ellet thought he was a confederate quartermaster, although he strongly insisted to the contrary, and brought him along. One man dressed in citizen's clothing and claiming to be a non-combatant, and on that account released without parole. We have since learned that he was one of Gen. Hindman's brigadier-generals. His name I did not learn. Our prisoners being thus disposed of, the fleet, now numbering three steamers, moved toward Gordon's Landing. Four miles from the Landing, in a direct line across the country, but fifteen miles as the river runs, we left the Era with three or four men to guard the boat and prisoners. We moved slowly up the channel, making the bend with considerable difficulty, until we reached the point below the negro quarters where the land is cleared
