HEADQUARTERS 10th REGIMENT ARK. VoL ,
 CAMP FoRp, NEAR DEs ARC, :
 Sept. 3, 1861. MIR. EDITOR :--I deem it my duty to inform you, and the country at large, through your valuable paper, of the l5nd and hospitable treatment which the 10th Regiment, and its officers, have received during their march from the place where it was organised.
 At Springfield, where the Regiment was or ganised, the ladies did all they could in the way of sewing, making soldiers clothes and tents, for the use of the Regiment After we left Springfield, we were marched to Camp Merrick, in the extreme eastern part of Con- way county, at which place the ladies and citizens generally, were no less devoted to the interests, wants and comforts of the soldiers, After leaving Camp Merrick, we marched by way of Austin to this place, and our march was one continued roadside ovation. The march of Cesar or Napoleon was never more triumphal than ours. The ladies would come out at every house and cross-road to give as their smiles, and they brought bouquets and flowers of the sweetest fragrance. Fruit of the rarest and richest quality, to distribute among the men, and also, buckets of cool fresh water to relieve the thirst of the soldiers in their dusty march.
 The ladies and citizens of Austin and vicin- ity are especially due the gratitude and heart- felt thanks of the whole Regiment. While there we received nice vegetables, fruits, mel ons and cakes that were adorned with roses and evergreens, and whose flavor would have tempted the most delicate appetite in the world. Our camp was visited there by the faironee, in person, who brought everything they could think of that would relieve the hunger and comfort the condition of the sol- dier, and when we left, then they gave us their smiles and tears, while their hearts, like an gels, were praying for all the success and well fare that could attend the soldier.
 The ladies of Des Arc also deserve our sim cere thanks-they gave us cordial welcome and have visited our camp, and their sweet words and cheering smiles will long be re- membered by the Regiment Who could not fight to defend such women, such principles and such a country as we have.
 Yours, &c., AN OFFICER.

ANOTHER BATTLE IN CONFIRMATION Late advices from Richmond represent that officers attached to the army of the Potomac to be at their posts on the 2Sth ut. The same advices intimate that President Davis was only waiting for the adjournment of Congress to take command in person of the army of the Potomac and lead it in its forward operations. Congress adjourned last Saturday night These things seem to indicate vigorous movement very shortly.

They were expected back next day, but up to Wednesday last they had not arrived, and it was believed that they preferred to execute their maneuvres under Gen. lfaIdee, and they had succeeded in join ing him. They were splendidy armed and mounted, and as no other method of ''evacua- ting" that ncols-governed city presented it. self, they chose to desert. The authorities were unwilling to admit the fact of the deser- tion, but they at once proceeded to arrest such steamboatmen as had been fearless enough to express their attachment to the South. These, In large mum bers, were confined in slave pens, and devote themselves to praying for the speedy arrival of Ben. McCulloch Pillow and Har- dee to release them.

THE LATE BATTLE NEAR SpRINGFIELD- THE WOUNDED, &C.--We had determined to await Gen. McCULLocH's official report of this battle before expressing an opinion in reference to his being taken by surprise - But the evidence is already sufficient to con vict him of unwarranted negligence in refer ence to his pickets and sentries. He may attempt to screen himself by laying the blame upon Churchill and other Colonels, but it will avail him nothing. It was the duty of him. self and staff to see that their subordinates done their duty, and that the guard, when called in at 12 o'cloll at night, was replaced and surprise thereby avoided. But we shall advert to this matter more fully hereaf ter, and demonstrate who is most 10 blame for the shocking less of life, especially in Col. Charchil's regiment.
 We arc paned to learn that the wounded, especially those belonging to Col. ChurchlPs regiment, have been most shockingly and in humanly neglected. The Dutch who were wounded, were generally placed upon beds in Springfield, while the Arkansans and Mis- sourians were generally placed upon the hard floors with only blanket to lay upon. Poor MciNTosH, whose death we record to-day, undoubtedly died from neglect and inatten- tion. The Dutch wounded were furnished with proper nourishment, while our wounded had to put up with improper diet. These things being true, how can MCCULLocH or CHURCHILL ever dare look in the face the fathers apd mothers of the dead and wounded
