location Of the great battle
in Arkansas, is in the extreme northwestern
part of the State, and in the northwestern.
most county (Benton). A range of hills,
(of the Ozark range,) will be seen sweeping
from Missouri through this corner of the
State, and from thence branching into the
Indian Territory, where that section known
as the Boston Mountain is found. Big Sugar
Greek, near which the fight began, is short
distance north Of BentonEille. the capital Of
Benton county, and Pea Ridge, which is
part of the mountain range, is but short
distance from the same town. Cross Tim

were chased, is four miles from the head

THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

I, Is understood that thorough reorganization
Of the War Department is rapidly progressing,
and that II will in few days be fully up to the
demands Of the occasion. Among other things
IL is not improbable that the following will oc-
cur:
L. That In order TO leave room for promotions
for gallant acts In the Geld and other reasons Of
public policy, no further appointments to any
rank in the army (unless of men in the feld) will
be made until the first of March.
2. That all the nominations that have been
made and are now pending before the Senate,
will be suspended until after the LIST Of March.
g. That the disorganization produced by officers
frequenting the city, instead Of remaining in
camp to instruct themselves and soldiers in the
military art, will be checked by dropping from
the list those who frequent the city otherwise
than on military duty and by command Of their
superior officers
4. That In order to transact the business Of WAR
as war, the Department will be closed four days
In the week against all other business than what
aPPertains 10 active operations In the field.
S. That Saturday Of each week will be devoted
exclusively to the transaction Of the business OF
Senators and representatives in Congress; and
that Monday Of each week will be devoted to the
business of other persons requiring personal In.
terviews with the Secretary
8. That the Secretary Of War will transact no
business whatever and will see no persas on bust
ness at his private residence but will receive his
friends socially on Wednesday evenings
z. That the dispatch Of business by mail or writ
ten communications will have the preference,
and will receive the personal attention of the
Secretary on the morning Of each day before en-
terlng upon other duties.
ergies Of the War Department are hereafter to be
devoted to the end Of conducting the war pre-
cisely as such a war as the government has on
their hands should be conducted
