coming in wagons overland to Sedala arriving there
last night. To their knowledge, up to Thursday,
Price had not started sny portion of his forces to-
| wards this direction, though it could have been
done and they have remained in ignorance of it.
CaptaiR Foster was informed on the morning after
the surrender by the rebel quartermaster, that he
had issued that day "a 600 ratiODs, and the Captain
thinks the force has since then been increased by
| accessions from the country around about to at

from all quarters. He heard nothing definite IN
regard to McCuliOughs whereabouts. The people

contents money, silverUare, clothing, bedding,
everything was seized-the owners insulted and
maltI Gated, and threats were made against the

strated against their proceedings. A few men of
Jacksons Legislature had assembled in the town
and passed an ordinance of secession. When our

severe character were also under consideration.

fairs. He is not wounded reported. General
