night last, reports that Gen. Lane had just made an
attack on the Rebels but lie knows nothing of the
suit.
lie says that when ten miles distant from Sarcoxie
he still heard cannonading. This story seems alto
gether improbable, as Gen. lane only left Hernans-
ville in Hickory County, 50 miles north Of Sarcoxe,
Sunday morning. and it is hardly possible that be
could have reached that place in go short time; but
scout ho arrived here as night reports that when
six miles from Sarcoxe, on the Mount Vernon road,
he heard artillery firing from O'Clock TIL dsrk ON
Monday, and tia, the firing was rapid.
He also heard firing on Tuesday morning. Tbis-

what parties the engagement took place.

McCulloch himself had gone to Fayetteville, Ark.
No change in the direction Of re-enforcements to
