The Pocahontas Herald, Of the 4th inst, con-
taius the following:
Gen. Hardee has rented the st. Charles Ho-

military hospital. DR.. l. E. Nsgle has been
appointed surgeon, aud DR.. P. H. Eckols assis-
tapt.
A daily pony express has been established
between this place and Memphis, to go into
operation tomorrow. Time, Is hours.
The BANNER CoUNTY.-The palm will have
to be given to Ouachita county as having sent
out more volunteers than any other county in
Arkansas. She polls LOO votes, and has al
ready sent to the war nine infantry companies,
three cavalry, and enc artillery company-the
company furnishing their own cannon, which
was cast at foundry in Camden.
Four hardened, irrepressible abolitionists,
who were sent down here as spies from some
thieving den in Missouri, were arrested yester-
day, and are now Inder guard awaiting exami-
nation.
We regret to note considerable sickness
among the troops; disease, measles and fever,
want of activity and bad water. About TWEEN
" deaths have occurred in the different regi-
ments. A short tour to Missouri would make
our brave volunteers feel like new men and
give them a buoyant impetus.
Gen. Pillow, with 5000 Coufederates, is to
march up to New Madrid, and proceed up the
Mississippi Gen. McCulloch, with 10000
Confederates, is to march from Forsyth on
through the southwest, and Gen. Hardee will
soon have a force OF 10000 to take the Iron
ton route. RESIDES these troops (2S,UOU)
there will be 10000 gallant Miss0urians in the
van, who will rally under our glorious south
ern standard, to the music Of "DIxIe," with
the proud "stars and bars' floating over their
ranks. The dav of deliveraDce is near at
hand, thank God, and we hope soon to Join in
the hallelulahs that will be sent up when the
glad news is received that TIE sons Of our
great sister State have been delivered from
the thraldom of Black Republican rule, and
that Missouri is frsel Allah speed the good
daV.
