Our victory in trans-mississippi.

--A private letter from Gen. E. Kirby Smith, to a friend in Lynchburg, dated Camden, Ark, May 5, 1864, says:

‘ "We have just had one of the most successful and brilliant campaigns of the war, lasting only 50 days. With.--men we have defeated 50,000, in three general engagements and several minor battles, marched 500 miles, fought in Louisiana and Arkansas, killed and captured 14,000 of the enemy, taken 35 pieces of artillery, and 1200 wagons, &c. None of my staff were hurt. Cunningham, Jones, Trevet and myself had horses shot under us."
