CAPTURE OF 4 REBEL NAIL.
| An account reached here from Helena to-
day detailing some facts, but no particulars
regarding the capture Of a large and very ll-
! teresting mail from Gen. Hi1dman and intend
| ed for Transportation to the confederate au-
| thorities at Richmond Among the letters
| from soldiers to their families, from husbands
to wives, brothers to sisters, lovers to their
duleinas, ETC., etc, we're packages continuing
official dispatches from Hiudnan's command,
| giving most useful information Of his late
Mancuycrs in Arkansas, and papers showing
his plans for the tu:ure. It vas ut first thought
to be but one Of Hinduan's tricks to en:rAp
the commander Of the forces into SO ne Wild
goose chase, but certain facts revealed bT de-
Ecrters and scouts, induced Gen. Steele to dis
crccit any such idea. lie pu: such confidence

COTTON, ETC.
Cotton is very difficult to obtain in Helena
Many speculators are deserving the bushes,

and yermin Of Helena have much to do it
this determination.
