Hunter; and leaving word with Major Wright
that be bad important dispatches for General
Hunter, he continued on toward Bolivar. When

nine o'clock AZ night. Captain Nick. returned
The following morning, when he found ali the
officers making their calls on the new Com
mander, and eongratulatiog him upon his pro-
notion. The harmony was general. There

the slightest insubordination, no laying on
arms through the night, no thro wing down of
arms on the evening previous OF morning af;er,
and not single officer threatened to resign. GEN.
efel Hunter is estesmed and beloved by the
lbtiFe army, and the expression is universal
that the troops are entirely satisfied with any
change the Government may deem best for the
interests Of the service. Up to Monday night,
when the Captain left, this good feeling and
satisfactory harmony prevailed.
General Hunter, hearing that the advance
guard Of the enemy were on Wilson's Creek,
sent.out two regiments Of infantry and one Of
cavalry VINO secured lne country IOr 70 miles
and discovered no signs of the enemy, nor had

with every probability fan arrest of several Of
these gentry, who have been riding over the
State, fed and provided for in every respect by
UDcle Sam, upon the special order of General

place between he Second Iowa Regiment and
a regiment Of cavalry. The m msneuveriug WAS
highly cieditable, aud fully demonstrated that
in an actual engagement these different arms
of the service would prove themselves exceed
