There was more or less skirmishing between his rear guard and the enemy's advance until he crossed into Arkansas and effected a junction with Van-Dorn and McCulloch. In all these skirmishes, our informant says the Missouri sharp shooters invariably got the best of their pursuers.--Price's object was to draw them down into Arkansas, since Van-Dorn had not joined him at Springfield. The Confederates rested a few days at Cove creek, in Washington county, Arkansas, some thirty miles below the line. At length Gen. Van-Dorn having got ready, he determined to go in search of the enemy, and to make the attack himself. The troops were ordered to cook five day's provisions, and move upon the enemy, who had stopped at Sugar creek. At Sentonville, on their way up, they encountered the Federal rear guard, and had quite a brisk skirmish, in which we lost one man and the enemy eight or ten. We also took one piece of artillery there. The Confedera

Rives, of the Missouri Confederates, and Capt. Churchill Clark, of the Artillery, whose loss has not heretofore been mentioned, were killed. Many other officers were killed or wounded. Gen. Van-Dorn paid a high compliment to Price's army.--Many of their charges would have done credit to Napoleon's old guard. The troops in McCulloch's division, up to the time of his and McIntosh's fall, fought with the most determined gallantry and covered themselves with glory. We left the field on the second day, for the reasons given above; and yet the result of the battle was as good as a victory to the Confederates. They have so crippled the enemy, that they will be unable to attack us until they get reinforcements. Price and Van-Dorn, however, can march where they please, and without m

They have so crippled the enemy, that they will be unable to attack us until they get reinforcements. Price and Van-Dorn, however, can march where they please, and without molestation. At last accounts they were recruiting, and getting ready for another forward movement in a direction but little suspected by the enemy. With the exception of Stanwatie's regiment our Indian allies did not take much part in the fight. This regiment took a battery, having approached it behind trees, and behaved with much courage and gallantry. Owing to the early fall of McCulloch and McIntosh some six or seven of our regiments were never brought into action. The enemy's forces were at least double ours. Another account. Col. John P.
