The Pocahontas Herald Of the 18th states that
tho steamer Kaskaskia, while on her downward
trip from that place, a few days previous, struck
a snag about twelve miles above Jacksonport

ments and their camp equpage, much ofthe lat
ter being seriously damaged.
The same paper says:
For two weeks past our town has been crowd
ed with wagons loaded with wheat, mostly from
Missouri, and stall it continues to come in. It is
selling from seveuty-6ve to eighty cents a bushel.

or no blockade, there is no danger of starvation.

Federal troops are advancing rapidly from SPRING
field in the direction of Fayetteville. The entire
Missouri army is now at Neosho. The troops OF
this division viii fall back as rapidly as possible
to the Fayetteville road. Gen. Price is on the
Pineyille road and will probably be driven into
Arkansas. The time has now arrived when Ar
kansas must rally to the defense Of her border.

Referring to this information the Times says
that on The receipt of the news in Washington
county fifteen hundred men Immediately turned
ont
Aid for Gen. Price was being concentrated to
an extent that would render his force invincible,
should an attack upon him be delayed. We
find the following paragraphs in the Times:

teres, twelve guns, from Tennessee, for General

cavalry, arrived at his home in this city on
Wednesday morning last. We are as much
grathed to announce, as our readers viii be TO
