military Movements in Arkansas.

We learn from the officers of the Chester
AStEeu, who arrived last evening. tina. Gen.
McCGIIoch took up his line of march from
Fort Smith for Fayetteville, few days since.
His command consisted of 5000 Confederate
troops. 500 Choctaw Indians and a company
of half-breed Cherokees, so strong, command
ed by Chief Geo. johnson. 1t was expected
that the advancing force would be ten or
twelve thousadd strong on its arrival at the
State line.
We also learn from the Fort Smith Times of
the 18th, that considerable force of COnfed-
crates were at Camp Walker, that General
Price, with 1000 Missourians, who were poor
ly armed, was within thirty miles, and Gov.
jackson, with 1900 men, within eighty miles
of that point. The federal forces marching
for the State line, in pursuit of Gov. Jackson,
number 5000, and are said to be well armed.
Ii appears that the federal troops are advan-
cling on the State line at two points. The one
from Sprinheld, Mo-, toward Fayetteville,
and the other toward Camp Walker. by way
of CRANKY. The Missourians appear to give
way and let these troops pass without resis-
lance. The State is now completely overrun
like Maryland. Gov. Jackson is deposed by
the military despots. and new governor set
up in his place, by the name of Price, not

SECESSION IN NAsHvuLE.-We clip tie fol-
lowing paragraph from the Detroit Free Press
of July 3r6
Notwithstanding the triumph of the seces-
sionists at the recent election in Nashville,
Tenn, they feel little disposition to rejoice
over their success. A private letter from that
CITY. dated June 18th, says: " l told you, in
my last, that it was reported the names of the
Union voters would be published. They
have not been, nor will they be. So much
private opposition was expressed By the
friends of these men, even by the strongest
secessionists, that the papers dare not do it.
1t would have caused blOOdshed, it is thought.
There has not been the slightest celebration
of the great victory of the secessionists, nor
any prospect of any. Nobody seems glad,
but all look gloomy. What a comment is
this ~
The writer of that ''private letter" is una
aclimated. He had better leave before the
independence fever gets too hot for him.
