 We give the following correspondence entire. The Gazette of the 1lh gave statement of the election held among the Arkansas Volunteers, which far from correc and created great surprise now appears that IOWief Qu ms once ana run Tor tHdt of Colonel He considered the election illegal and vo and neither resigned was a candidate Notwith- standing this, Laban c. HoaoeL elected Colonel- Captain Peaigrew, of sever co. It. Coonel-and Capt KavaaaugA Major. Colonel Fowler's former Company (Pulask,) voted for him to man. We can add but t- tie to the clear and forcble positions taken and agu ments advanced by Colonel Fowler in the letter below.
 The of the Governor manifestly ame and does not meet the reasoning of Col Fowler. It unsatsac- tory-and after carefully scanning boh have comet the conclusion that Col Fowler right and the Govern wrong.
 Let remark here that the Times is mistaken in at tributng any blame to ex-Goyernor Fulton. There IS no issue made up between him and Col Fowler-norao ao we imagine he would stoop to aid any intrigue winch might put out of the service a valuable officer.
