The Cincinnati Commercial says -
I'VE nre reliably informed that, during sons

defeated at Corinth, under Van Dorm aud Price,
including Willingness brigade, a division Of re-
Gently exchanged prisoners, and some con-
scripts iron Tcxas-in all, not exceeding 40,-
900 men. There were flying rumors that they
were advancing npon Bolivar, but these are
improbable, as the enemy would hardly be

such an enterprise We should be more viii.

their left, with view to communicate with

The Memphis Bulletin processes to have re-

arrived at Little Rock with twenty-four new
regiments, and has assumed command Of the
Confederate forces in Arkansas. The talk at
Little Rock was TO the effect that an army Of
10000 men would presently be concentrated
there, and move upon Helena, with the purpose
Of oustng the Federals at that point. While
the Balletin discredts this statement, it says
there can be no doubt that the twenty. four
regiments had arrived under johnson, aud that
the rebels are very active in organizing their
forces.

Arkansas, and will shortly be taken to Rich
mond for trial. A large number Of charges

Gen. Albert Pike has written long letter
to the Arkansas Patriot showing up General

banks Of that city, under the assumed authority
Of General Bcanrcgard and made them fork
over" million of dollars for military opera
tions in Arkansas, and that alter getting into
the latter State, be issued series of most ex-
traordnary orders. The first declared martial
law; the next had all the cotton seized for the
Confederate government the nest erdeped all
