OTTERVILLE, No., Dec. 26.-Intormatton
which is supposed to be reliable has been
received here of the retreat Of Price South
ward. The day after the party which Gen.
Pope sent out 10 Johnston county drove in
Gen. Rains pickets, Price withdrew Rains
division across the river, and the next day
t5hdftEsed eight miles southwark, with his
whole force. At last accounts, one divis-
ion Of his army was at Neosho, and the
main army under Price had just left Hu-
Evansville, on its way 10 Arkansas.
Price says that his retrogade movement
is in obedience to orders from the Presl-
ient of the Confederate States, but his men
generally believe that it was in consequence
of Gen. POpe's advance, and Prices fear
that a force would be thrown forward to
cut OF his supplies southward,,aud another
force advanced in front, in which event his
supplies would have been exhausted ia n
few days, and he would have been compel
ed to abandon his strongest position, at
Osceola. Whatever the motive, IL Is GER
tain that the move was an unfortunate one
for Price, for many Of his men who for
months have been expecting to move upon
and drive the Federals from the State will
he disgusted and will not follow him out of
Missouri.
Gen. Halleck's policy to show no mercy
to lawless bands of marauders aud bridge
burners, and of dealing with the utmost
leuie.cy with those who lay down their
arms and return to their homes and peace
full occupations, will do much TO restore
peace TO the State.
