Despathes fr ON Little Rock, Arkansas, dat
ed the 18th instant contains advices from Fort
Smith to the 18th, fully confirming the victory
of the Confederates, under Mccullough and
others, over the ederal Hessians.
The fight occurred on Saturday, eight miles
from Springfield.
The enemy took the Confederate pickets pri-
soners, and surprised the main body A bloody
and desperate encounter ensued, with great
loss on both sides.
Gen. Price led the Sd and 9th Arkansas with
splendid Courage.
Mccullough, in letter of the 10th, says :
"The victory is ours. The battle lasted six
and a half hours. Our loss is great Gen.
Lyon is among the dead. We took six pieces
of artillery from Seigel, destroyed his COM
mand, and took many prisoners and small arms.
The Confederate loss is from two TO three

rescued. He shot at and, it is believed,
wounded him.
Colonel Sweeney, of the Federal A rmy, was
also killed.
The Federal loss is from two thousand three

Skirmish on the Potomac River.

WASHINGTON, August l6.
Yesterday afternoon about half past one
clock, the steamer Resolute was ordered
from Aqua Greek to Matthias Point for the
purpose of accommodating
Seeing batteau filled with barrels on shore
just below the Point, boat was sent from
the Resolute with six men, to bring off the
batteau.
No sooner had the boat touched the beach
than a volley of musket balls was opened upon
them from a secession force concealed in the
woods, killing three Of the men instantly,
namely-John James Fuller, of Brooklyn,
Masters Mate, who it was subsequently ascer,
tanned was pierced by ten balls; George Sey.
mour, captain of the gun, CT New York, by
seven and Thomas Tulley, of Boston, by two
balls.
Earnest Walter, native of England, was
wounded in the head, ii is feared fatally.
Another volley was fired by the enemy as
they moved their position, or as soon as they
had time TO reload. The Resolute was abou,
seven hundred yards from the shore, and fired
in the midst Of the Confederates one shot OF
canister and nine of shrapnel with, it is
thought, extensive havoc, while other reports
are positive to this effect

WHAT Mn. sIIckMAS wAx1s.-Tho followin

WHAT Mn. HICKMAN WANTs.-Th following
is a sentence from Mr.. Hickmnna late speech
in Congress Mr.. Hickman is one of the
chiefs of the Black Republican party, and
came very near receiving the nomination for
the Yce-presidency
Now, sir, an army will be needed on the
Southern coast. Every foot of that coast will
have TO be occupied and perhaps eventually
invaded. An army will have to be started on
the nearest Southern frontier, and it will have
to be marched TO meet the army threatening
the coast. And, perhaps, it will be necessary
strand it is well for gentlemen from Southern
States to consider whether or not it will be
necessary--to leave the tracks of the chariot
wheels of our army SO deep in Southern soil
that a century shall be necessary to obliterate
the prints"
We think Mr.. Hickman has very unexpect-
eddy obtained his wishes, and should be salts
fed. The army Of the coast found it "neces-
whilst the "grand army on "the nearest
Southern frontier has performed its duty
with inconceisable rapidity and vigor, ina
king tracks that century will be necessary"
for the United States "to obliterate," and
without even hating for Miles. Patterson
CALAMITY ''made tracks" from Winchester,
and Missouri shows ''prints' enough to create
an impression of general ac'ivity. Indeed, so
expert have they become in "'making tracks"
that it requires longer time and much more
labor for the South to "obiiterate the tracks"
than it does to remove the Hchariots.

The Affair at Aquia Creek.

The steamer Columbia arrived at her wharf
in Baltimore on Saturday. From parties who
arrived on the Columbia, we learn that bat
terry was distinctly visible at Mathias's Point.
The Federal flotilla, which visited Aqua
Greek for the purpose Of discovering masked
battery, ,cds Uery successful an its mission !
When within a mile of a point which hereto
fore was thought unguarded, a battery opened
on the fleet from gorge, and the first shot
struck the Pocahontas in the stern, making a
hole through her The fleet Immediately re-
treated up the river, and got beyon the range
of the guns. The shots fired from the battery
passed clear across the river, which is three
miles wide, indicating that it is composed Of
ritied cannon of large calibre. The flotilla
consisted of the Pocahontas, Mount Vernon
Pawuee, Yankee and Live Yankee. The Noun;
Vernon returned TO Washington on Friday
night, and reported that the rigging of the
Pocahontas had been injured from the fire of
the Confederates. She left Washington GU
Saturday to return to the Hotilla.

THE TREASURY NOTES Speaking Of the is
cue of Treasury Notes, the New York Journal
Of Commerce says;
" II will still be one or two weeks before the
small demand notes can be made ready for
currency. They are pushed forward as rapid
ly rs possible by the American Bank Note
Company, which has the production in charge,
but the work is immense. The making up
the ordinary circulation Of a Bank amounting
TO two or three hundred thousand dollars is a
tiresome job; but when millions are to be
counted, the magnitude of the task is scarce
ly to oe reckoned by comparison. A large
number of clerks will be deputed at Washing
ION to register and sign the bills, the act hav-
ing made liberal allowance for such pro-
vision, and the notes in So, $40, and $50 riH
then be paid out at points as distant as possible
from The financial centre ="

Further from Europe.

ST.. JoaSs, August 20.--The steamer Canada
passed off Cape Race yesterday afternoon with
Liverpool advices Of the 10th instNnt.
The steamer Saxonia arrived out on the 9th
European poiiiieai affairs are unimportant.
! The aspect of American affairs claim undi-
vided attention. Dr. Russell, in another letter
to the Times, on the battle of Bull Run, asserts
that there were no daring deeds on either side,
and no desperate struggle, except By those
who wanted to get away.
The London Daily News defends the North
ern army.
The London Times in an editorial takes the
recent speech of Mr.. Valandigha as evidence
of the charges that will be brought against
President Lincoln If the South is successful
1t says that only a victory by which the stain
of Manassas may be efiaced and the South in
duced TO come to terms can secure the P-esi-
dent from the consequences Of having begun
civil war.
The London Globe observes, with regard to
the blockade question, that a blockade is Il
right Of war but by what right, whether of
war or peace, can Congress empower the Ex-
ecutive to desist from the blockade, and sub-
sttute the levying Of official duties on goods
about to be landed in territories where that
Executive can afford no protection to them
from further execution or speculation in any
shape.
The Shipping Gazette complains that the
blockading squadron on the coast OF AmercP
appears determined to interrupt marine COM
merce in defiance of the best under stood max
inns of international law, and at the risk Of a
collision with the forces of the maritime
powers.
The London Post in an editorial on the
blockade question, says if unfortunately Eng
! land should be compelled into IL quarrel, the
blame will not rest with England, but with
the government which has endeavOred to ef-
feet the ruin of innocent commerce to enforce
the validity of blockade which it is mani
testify incompetent to maiLtain.
The Times of the 10th instant remarks that
Americans Of the North even take pleasure in
the sensation caused by their recent unparal-
leled defeat.
Another letter from Mr.. Russell says, he
having acquired further information respect
ing the fight, has come to the following con-
clusion There was not bayonet charge
made by the Federal infantry during the day.
There was not charge Of any kind made by
the Confederate cavalry upon any regiment OF
the enemy until they broke. There was mott
hand to hand encounter between any Of the
regiments. There was not battery charged
or taken by the Federalists. There were no
masked batteries in play by Confederates.-
There was no humiliation Of rebel horse by
the Zouaves or others. A volley fired by one
battalion emp;ied three saddles among a body
of horse who approached at some distance,
and the infantry which performed thee
ton then retired, and there were no desperate
struggles except by those who wanted to get
away"
lie then alludes to the approach Of the Con-
federates towards Washington, and says the
Union troops were complaining Of nothing
having been paid them, and about 80, 600 of
the three months men had left, or were about
to leave.

The Police Commissioners of Baltimore
