HEAD QUARTERS 10TH IEG. ARK. Vol,

Camp Beauregard, Ky., Oct. 3ls st, 'bl.}
 Mr. Editor: I have determined to write you short letter for publication your valuable paper. believing that you, and also many others will be glad to hear of the progress of the 10th regiment of Arkansas volunteers.
 We have so far been blank in the service of the Confederate States, and I am not able to say how long we will remain so. The heregiment is now in Kentucky, and in twenty miles of the enemy, who are encamped at Mayfeld. We are neither armed nor clothed. We are however looking for clothing for our soldiers every day, but God only knows when we will get arms. The regiment has suffer ed immensely from sickness recently. The measles prevailed more than any other disease, but the typhoid fever and pneumonia are committing almost daily ravages among our men. Last week, Judge John M. enable, our regmental commls- sary died; you were acquainted with him, beheVe, as well as many others who will read this letter, and am free to say that l never knew better man. His death cast gloom over the whole regl- ment, for "none knew him but to love him, and none named him but to praise.'
 His remains were conveyed from here to Spring field, Arkansas. for interment under the care of Capt Venable, his brother, with detail of four men to assist him. The deceased was mason, a christian and soldier in the truest sense of the terms. The health of the regiment, am glad to say, is slowly improving, and hope it will not be long before every soldier will be well.
 We have not had any battle yet, though the brigade to which we are attached has twice pre- pared to meet the enemy, but the reports proved to be false alarms, and no blood has yet been shed in this brigade for the defense of the country.
 Our brevet brigader general is Col. John 5. Bowen of Missouri. He is very clever and affa- ble gentleman, and man of fine military talents and education. had as soon march to the battle field under him, as any other man living.
 In conclusion, Mir. Editor, I hope you will use your efforts for our soldiers, and call upon the peo- ole of Conway, Van Buren and Perry counties to collect and forward clothing for their comfor5 dur ing the winter that is now fast approaching.
 I remain yours respectfully.

The Arkansas Troops.
s. s. FORD.

The Arkansas troops having been turned over to the Confederate Government and portion o them removed from the State into Kentucky, is being made the occasion for an alarm and an unmanly howl against President Davis. This is very wrong. No injustice has been done Arkansas. She is full of brave men yet, com potent to defend her borders, and they will do it.
 We have every confidence in President Davis, and he has sent to the west Gen. Sidney John ston, one of the ablest and most experienced captains on this continent. We have every con lidence in Gen. Johnston. Let us not censure him in advance, nor cripple him with our mur- merings and complaints. Let Us make most of what is before us. Let us act as men should act when their country is in death struggle and their government embarrassed by a thou sand difficulties.
 We are able to spare men for the fight in Kentucky, and we are glad we have done so.- There are three of the enemy in Kentucky where there is one in Missouri. Kentucky will De the great battle ground of the war, and, if we lose it. neither Pocahonta8, eastern CT any other part of Arkansas will be safe.
 We are glad to have soldiers in Kentucky and in Virginia. We are able to supply men to fight our own battles at home and send men into Kentucky and Virginia too. These eifeminate, anmauly cries against the Confederate govern ment are unworthy of us. If we must, let us furnish men to the cause in other States and fight our battles in Missouri besides, and our glory in the end will be all the greater. We want to see Arkansas achieve the reputation hat her gallant people deserve. Away then with these whimpering tears, and let us act as becomes men.

but only from the Caiawas, a thieving tribe, the

but only from the Caiawas, thieving tribe, the number of whose warriors is unknown-say TOO or 800, at least-who came originally into the prairies from the North, with dog-trains, and now have many horses, who have quarreled with the Comanches about treating, and threa. tened hostiIites against the border; and to whom the Commissioner sent, with the wampum, Ia plug of tobacco with string of white beads around it) Q two-ounce bullet, that they might choose peace or war, with the promise that if they chose war, he would send thousand Creeks and Seminoles against them. Arms have been furnished them by Northern officers or agents; and they will probably make inroads upon the Texan and Indian frontier
 The Agents for all the different tribes have been continued in office; and with tAe excep- tion of the unimportant disaffection among the Creeks, it is believed that the most perfect sats- faction prevails every where in the country, and entire confidence in the promises of the Con- missioner and the provisions of the treaties. Had the commencement of negotiations been delayed ninety days, the result might have been far less fortunate.
 Thus has ended successfully for the Confede. rate States the mission of Commissioner Pike among the Indians. He has added to our terri tory the whole country west of Arkansas in' habited by the lndians which is equal in extent if not greater than the State of Arkansas, and unsurpassed by any State in its natural wealth
 
 and fertility. The establishment of the undis- puted authority of the Confederate government over this territory, without the fighting of a single battle, or the cost of single life, and the addition to the fighting men of the Confed- eracy of many thousands of brave warriors, who are now friends and not enemies, are the fruits of his labors of the past six months. Commissioner Pike, uniting the highest order of mind with a thorough knowledge of the In dian, was perhaps the only man in the Confede- racy who could have achieved what he has done His action was prompt and untirng-the hard ships he suffered were great-hls success was complete and unexampled. He is entitled to the gratitude of the people of the whole Con, fedeiacv, but more particularly to the gratitude of the people of Arkansas and Texas, whose borders he has forever secured against the trou blesome ncursons of an mplacable and savage foe.
 Gen. Pike returned to this city some days since and will immediately visit Richmond to submit the treaties he has concluded to the President and his Cabinet, with view to their early rati- fcation by the Congress. He has richly earned the eneomium of "wsU done, thou good and faUhfM serrant."

A Governors Speech At Midnieht

The frequent sending of alarming dispatches from the officers connected with McCulloch's con- mand, has produced a great deal of harm in the State of Arkansas, and if not stopped will prevent the enlistment of troops altogether. The way things are managed in that direction, has alread V done more mischief to the service, than could the substance of ten thousand "Richmonds" Cou- rers were despatched that Harney was advancing on Pocahontas others that Batesville was stormed and taken; still another, that Fremont was moving by rapid marches on Fayetteville, and one courier followed so fast on the heels of another, that it became manifest that they were dispatched by some ambitious officer to swell his command, or some anscrupulous quartermastcr, to precipitate large supplies and expenditures, so the miserable dog could make money out of his bleeding country- This may be fun to the boys but it is death to the frogs When will it stop? and who has power to punish the wretches engaged in it?
 Dispatches from up the river have ceased to alarm; but bulletin from Col Borland of the 9th inst, kicked up quite dust within tue perlieus of the city of Little Rock on Thursday fight ast.- The Military Board convened and deliberated, and about half after eleven that night, finally ordered the five companies at the arsenal forthwith to form into battalion and report iastantcr. The order was delivered by the secretary of the board, with a countenance plainly indicating alarm, as if the tate of nations numbered at his back. The aston ished mastering officer, Col Terry wanted to know if it expected that the order should be execu- ted that night. By all means sir-by all means: we will have steamboats waiting at Des Arc to transport you"
 About this time, Mir. Mills, of Pine BluT mo- ted alike for business talents and sober habits, be- came involved in the excitement, and went with Col. Terry at double quick to the camp. The cor pora of the guard was called, the adjutant was reused up, and the officers tents besieged by camorous tongues. A captain and lieutenant whose wives had come to see them. had quarters during their stay, on Main and Mulberry streets. They were sent for, while others were gone. God knows where. Messengers were despatched in every direction Soldiers were clamorinp. doos bowling an6 barking.
 But amid all this confusion and din, the candi dates for field positions, and their friends, were busy electioneering 'Capt. Murff, word with you;'' "Lt. Ross, step this way minute;'' " Hal To, adjutant, Eere if you please;' and it was cap tain and lieutenant, and lieutenant and captain. until one of the absent captains arrived quite ex- cited and declared that he protested to the whole business. ''I came here to make a regiment, and mo one on earth shall cut down to a battalion. !" Col. Terry finally got them into the head-quart of Capt. Murff, and made them an animated speech

The Battle at Columbus,

We publish this morning every thing reliable We can obtain about the battle opposite Coum- bus. It was desperate affair, and, though a complete victory, was dearly earned. Col. Tap pans regiment, made up of volunteers from eastern Arkansas, maintained the conflict with seven or eight thousand federals, single handed, for about two hours. Col. Tappan, and the brave men under him, have covered themselves with imperishable renown. They fought with a desperation almost before unknown. Their ammunitionss being finally exhausted, and them selves forced back to the river's edge they then resorted to the bayonet and with that kept the overpowering force before them at bay, until Gems. Polk, Pillow and Cheatham, with their Tennessee and Louisiana regiments came to their relief.
 The following we extract from letter dated Helena, Nov. |:
 "I suppose ere this reaches you, full details of the great battle of Columbus will have reached you. Dick Lanord is among the slain. His fate has cast a gloom over the entire community Tappan is said almost to have immortalized him selt-haying fought the enemy 5000 strong for two hours with but his single regiment. They were driven to the very verge of the river, got out of ammunition and fought the enemy with their bay onets hand to hand, until reinforced by troops un- der Pillow He has sustained heavy loss. All re ports agree that it was the most desperate fighting ever done on this continent Our victory was complete, but every report brings us the sad news that it was dearly ly-uez E--s-str bought. One com pany went in the fight with sirty odd men and came out with only fourteen, and so with others.'
Arkansas true Democrat., 1861-11-14

STATE TRooPs.-The fact that Gen. John ston has telegraphed the Governor that he wants no more Arkansas troops, unless they are armed, is being made an excuse to raise a State army. He will receive all armed troops, and place them upon our northern frontier. Now, if they are not armed, of what value will they be as State troops? If they are armed the Confederate Government will muster them into its service and bear the burden of supporting them.
 We want to see no more State troops in Ar kansas. It is an injury to the cause to have them. Two armies in the same field result only in confusion and failure. Had the State troops been tu rned over to Mceuioch before the Oak Hills battle, he would have marched immedi- ately into the heart of Missouri. As it was, the Oak Hills battle was barren of results, glo- rious as that balle. was.
 Besides, 1t is an injustice to saddle the bur den of Q State army upon Arkansas, when in all other States that burden falls upon the Con federate States, of which Arkansas has to bear her portion. It is an act of fragrant wrong so gross that we cannot believe the present Gene ral Assembly will lead itself to 1t.

"Who started this damned trick?" says one.- No trick, sir, no trick; Col. Borand me0ef sehus sensation dispatches; he makes no mistakes " Mistakes and be damned, let's see the Mlh'ary Board let's see the Governor Some went to rouse the Board others to stir out the Governor. lhev have us up at midnight in stew, let's rustic them round little" Messengers were dispatched and the alarm given, and about two hours before day. the Governor harrangued them long and well and wound up by assuring them that the election should not take place till morning !!
 Filkins and Joe Medary, do tell me, that the gen teman from Pine Bluff got back about in the morning, nearly out of breath, and was hunting about for some person to show him the way to No. II. *.

 We are forced to this by the great enhance ment in the price of printing paper and the great depreciation in the value of all kinds of paper money. It is necessity with us to keep up our paper. Our receipts from job work and advertising having long since almost entirely ceased-we have to rely solely upon the sub scriptions to the paper to keep it agolng The public printing, owing to the reduction ID prices made at the last session of the General Assembly, the great increase ia the cost of pa per and labor and the depreciated currency we receive from the treasury, has become an ex- pense to us instead of profit.
 Under these circumstances we are compelled, when our subscribers pay us in paper money, to demand two dollars and fifty cents as the price of our paper.

 Mr. Editor: Knowing your anxiety to get the latest reliable news from the army, l have ire quently seated myself, pen in hand, to jot dowI. army items, and as often have I thrown down my pen in disgust, for so rapidly have followed one report after another, and each contradictory, that could not believe any reliable, and would no' willingly contribute anything to abuse, at this time perhaps, too credulous public. l believe, how of the strength and position of the two armies ob- tained from Win. F. Wseman, esq.,, printer fo the army under Gen. Price, who arrived here direc from headquarters about 4 o'clock a. m. His ob- ject in coming here is to procure small job press to print foolscap sized bulletin for army dstr button. Mr. Wiseman says, Gen. Fremont witt about 10000 men is this side of Springfeld-ho will be joined by Lane and Phelps, who are in the vicinity, but their strength is unknown He say, when he (W.) left camp yesterday, flag of truce from Fremont arrived at Prices head quarters - He thinks for the double purpose of exchanging prisoners and obtaining information. Prices scouts have captured all the scouts sent out by Fremont Price is at Cassvile with 24,000, and McCulloch's forces consisting of about 1000, about the line of Mo- and Arkansas, except the cavalry who are in advance. battle is expected to come off about Sunday; but as there will be some coquetting for position, general engagement will not likely come off for week-when predict another glo- rious victory for our arms.
