of Hunter, and in accordance with the most
earnest entreaties, Fremont finally promised
just at dusk, that be would lead the army To
arrive.
never saw anything at all approaching
the excitement which this announcementcre-
ated. 1t caused immense cheering around
headquarters, which spread in all directions
from camp to camp, aud there was almost
interrupted cheering, growing more and
more remote. as the news reached the camps
further and further away. For two hours and
a half dozen bands were serenading the
General at once. Every body was preparing
to start at daylight, and the alI-pervadine
disappointment was changed into universal
JOY. e 81
Our army, under thai Inspiration, would
have whipped a hundred thousand men, but
at ten O'Clock. Gen. Hunter arrived. He spent
an hour aud a half with General Fremont,
who gave him his plan of battle. General
Hunter assumed command, and Gen Fremont
left for st. Louis, via Upton. this morning.

have received your note in regard to
your wounded and killed, left ON the battle
field after yesterdays engagement.
The lateness of the hour at which my
troops returned to the principal scene of the
action prevented my bestowing the care upon
your wounded which l desired. Such atten-
tions as were practicable were shown them,
and measures were taken at an early hour
this morning to have them all brought in to
my hospitals. Provision was also made for
taking care Of your dead. The permission
you desire under your flag Of truce is grant
ed with pleasure, under such restrictions as
the exigencies Of our service may require.
In your note you say nothing of an ex-
change Of prisoners, though you send me a
private message as to your willingness to
release certain wounded men and some inval-
ids, taken from our list Of sick in camp, and
expect in return Q corresponding number of
your prisoners. My own feelings would
prompt me to waive again the unimportant
affectation of declining to recognize these

A gentleman who reached the city from
Jacksonport, Arkansas, yesterday morning,
reports that messengers, at Cotton Plant last
Thursday, from Gen. Borland, stationed at
Pocahontas, Informed the people that there
were 1000 Federals at Doniphan, Missouri,
81 miles from Pocahontas, 600 of them cav
airy, advancing by forced marches from IRON
ton to Pocahonfas, and begging for reinforcs
ments. On Friday, Gen. Borland sent sec
ond courier, stating that the former report
had been confirmed, and private assurances
that this was no false report. A merchan, came
from Pocahontas TO Jacksonporp last Friday,
confirming Gen. Borland' 8 statement. Imme-
diately the call for aid was responded TO, and
some 800 men, poorly armed, but good fight
ers, left Jacksonport for Pocahontss last Sat
urday morning. The news of the threatened
invasion by the Federals had been spread in
all the river towns, aud rho whole country
from Jack.osport to Augusta, aud as far west
as Batesvilie, were aroused, and every man
was marching for Pocahontas. Il is supposed
that al least 8, 900 men had left to meet the
only about two shousand. The general i'm,
preston was that the Federais would reach
and capture Pocahontas by Saturday night,
aud before achievements could reach there.
The Confederate Government has from $780,
900 to 100000 worth of army stores at Po-
cahontas. IL is said that all the towns on the
river are deserted, every man having gone to
meet the invader. We have reason to believe
that the enemy is trying to make demon
stration On the Arkansas frontier, and we
shall await tbs result with ne little interest.

On the Gath: as the train was going east from
Cumberland, the engineer discovered several
cross ties on the track when miles out, and
when he got near he increased the speed of
the locomotive and threw the ties off, having
seen large number of armed men coming
down the hill at the time. The design was
evidently to take Gov. Thomas prisoner.
Whilst Gov. Thomas of Maryland was ad-
dressing the citizens of Cumberland on the
23d, some secessionsts raised a disturbance,
which resulted in their being driven home and
the destruction of the .4lleghenian office, a Sc
cession newspaper.
VIM. HuIsey, haling from Ithica, N. Y,
was compelled to leave Scranton, Pa, on the
26th, or be rode on rail! He had endeav-
ored to induce parties to take the Day Book,
and uttered the rankest treason.
Richard Wallach, Esq, was on the 26th,
elected Mayor of Washington by the City
Council, to supply the vacancy occasioned by
Mr.. Berrett's involuntary absence. He was
forthwith installed.
Mayor Berrett of Washington, has been sent
to Fort Lafa yette, on account of his secession
sentiments, and his refusal to take the oath Of
allegiance.
