Nothing OF particular moment has occurred

Morris 81 the head, to break up secession
company Of horseuea crcamped about L.
miles from tits place. We started with oar

rea@htd the Place Of thcir rendezvous, scat
ter-d the rebels, ard succeeded in arresting
Join Craddoek, Second Lieutenant Of tie
coEi any. Their Captain, Vim. Baker, ran

seized fur horses belonging to the gang, aad
!rorSl. i:so caunp three prisoners and four
horscs, where VIC alrivou ct 9 o'clock list

Ne find this place pretty extensively
squel2hed cut, SO far as the ii seces5hars" arc

sixty strong, fed to tho wooGs on the approach

| #, upon information Of having received pow

t ing, and upon examination Of the case he ad-
mitttd that the powder was sent to his house,
hut without his knowledge Or consent; ths4

tranquility will continue.
4 party Of twelve horsenen passed down
the Iuscnmbia road, on tEeir way to Arka:.-
tas, day before yesterday. From the appear
ance Of the men, it il Eur1nised that 1t Has
Governor Jackson travelling In disguise, at.
tended with corpora1's guard. We heard oil
the came party In The Ecighbofhood Of Big
Piney, and tracked them 10 this place, and
that the Governor has passed over the road on
fis way South, is pretty certain. On arriving
here, we first received intelligence Of the
brush between Gen. Lyon sna the State trpops
at Boon1u1e, end the SUCCESS Of our party anG
the utter defeat Of the rebels is the cauas o
much rejoicing among the boys. I have
isrre list OF secesshers, which 1 have take1
down as given me by different Union mea OF
the road. aud which We intend paying our re
spects to ~ ne pass along, If they will on1.
stand to receive them. ! very much GialS
however, We will have no fight fu this part Q
sthe State, and, If they keep their word. on
gallant Colonel will give them Little tstte
, the Filth Regiment After We have tf.sele:
,, the road, imagine there will be but little 70
those WHO come after rs to do.
