battle in Arknasas. We are still without full details of the terribles struggle that was in progress on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of this month, between the Confederates and Yankees, in the Northwestern corner of Arkansas; but this may be accounted for by the fact that the usual avenues of communication through Tennessee have been interrupted, and the Memphis papers are several days overdue. The Savannah has a special dispatch from Memphis, dated the 18th, which announces the arrival of Capt. Rogers at Fort Smith in charge of the ammunition train and the official account of the battle. The fighting is represented to have been terrible. The Confederates, who were mostly armed with shotguns and rifles, charged the enemy again and again, ubbing their guns and driving them back from their first position. The enemy had taken a second and stronger position. When it became known to his troops that Gen. McCulloch had fallen, they were frantic with rage, fighting like demons, charging and

rles H. Baker, Chief Engineer. 1st Lieut. J W. DeFord, Signal Corps. Levis S. Stockwell, Assistant Paymaster. George D. Slocum, Assistant Surgeon, and five seamen of the steam sloop-of-war Massachusetts. We understand the immediate cause of the Surgeon's visit to City Point was in obedience to the request of a lady there, that he should give her medical advice What truth there is in this we do not know, but from what we hear are inclined to credit it. The prisoners were all comfortably cared for last night by order of Gen. Huger. The officers are young men of fine appearance and intelligent countenances. The seamen are ordinary looking, and are mostly foreigners. They expressed themselves as not at all expecting an attack from the Confederates at City Point. But for orders to the contrary, we understand, a large number of officers and men might have been bagged at the Point day before yesterday, and among them the commander of the fleet, Commodore Rogers.

Newbern from Trenton, on the north side of the Trent; the videttes retreating, hotly pursued by the Yankees, who, I guess, were felicitating themselves upon "dispersing rebels" in such a hasty manner. The reserve of the pickets, commanded by Lieuts Rogers and Graham and stationed a short distance off the main road, suddenly entered the road, upon the alarm being given, and charged down upon the column of Yankee cavalry moving rapidly up. Then commenced the ball. Our men discharged their firea force was 200 cavalry, 2,000 infantry, and a battery of cannon. Our force was between 40 and 50 cavalry, from the companies of Capt. Hays, Capt. Andrew, and Capt. Turner, almost the entire number being from Capt. Hayes company, commanded by Lieut. Rogers. We lost one man killed, (Mr. Ray, of Capt.

You can hear them specially the refugees from this section, laughing, and to each other a cross the street, and see them shaking hands at every street corner. As the facts were immediately telegraphed to Richmond, and, see more authentic details were to be had, I deferred writing you till I should get nearer the scene of action. On Tuesday morning, I was one of many on the road for this place. The essay 1st, Rogers, tells of a women in a German town, who had lived to a good old age without going out of her native town — The king hearing of the case, and thinking it told finely for the contentment and happiness, of his people, made an edict this woman should not leave her native town. Whereupon the old, creature, who had never before wished to , became oppressed with a sense of imprisonment, and, actually died in consequence.
