On the 5th instant, General Thayer moved from Van Buren, with a division from Fort Smith, to attack Price; but although Price had the largest force, he retreated westward, with the apparent endeavor to draw Thayer away from Fort Smith, which the latter sought to cover. Consequently no fight took place, and Thayer returned to Fort Smith, which was, and probably still is, threatened by another force of rebels sent to that vicinity by Kirby Smith or Magruder.
