~ ARKANSAS TRooPs IN BATTLE.-By refer ence to our eegraphic dispatches, it will be seen that Tappan's Arkansas regiment was in the bat tie at Belmont, near Columbus. Col. Tappan's regiment suffered severely, but fough like heroes. At Cheat Mountain, in Virginia, at Oak Hills, and at Belmont, wherever the Arkansas troops have met the foe, they have fought gallantly and ably sustained the reputation of the State for bravery. Though Col Fagans regiment has not yet been in actual battle, they tried their best to reach Manassas in time, but the enemy would not wait to give them showing. Arkansas may well be proud of her sons, and of their conduct on the battle field

 "Our company has dug pits under it's tents to depth varying from!2 to feet, according to the nature of the soil. In the red clay. of the backs of the pits, small fireplace is exca- vated, from which a sloaping tunnel is worked to the top of the ground, in the rear of the tents. On the upper aperture thus made, dminutive chimney of brick or clay and sticks is erected; and so we are entrenched against the winter terrors of the North and East. A very little fire sufices for comfort. Gen. Holmes suggested this plan, which he once tried on the Rocky Mountains with complete success" !.
