ARKAssAs.-We have the usual reports Of
great rebel armies in Arkansas. They deserve
little attention. The secessionists Of Arkansas
are terribly frightened. Col. Hndman's bare.
footed regiment, which was on the way to Vir'
ginia, has been ordered to return home, TO re-
siss the invasion of the abolitionists."
EAST, TENNrssEE.-The raising Of con-
mittee by the East Teunesseeaus, to negotiate
for pescesble secession from the remainder
Of the State, is mauifestly to gain time aud to
put their advsrsaries still more completely in
the wrong. When their application is rejected,
IS they know 1t must be, they will be in bet.

they are now.

CoapIrIor OF THE ENEMY.--The Charleston
Msrcsry, Of June 26, publishes letter frou
rs correspondent OF Manassas Junction, in
which the following passage occurs:
Fifteen thousand men are here with only
twelve pieces of artillery, which is insufficient
Ammunition is scarce and the muskets are
without bayoneisj whole companies are without

Of men for one year was unfortunate. Prompt.

troops here would make quick work Of the war.
