The radical emancipation ticket is undoubt-

HELENA, Ark, Nov. 4.
Col. Cameron, Of the Bath Indiana, who was
recently the bearer of a flag of truce to Gen.
Hindman, commanding the rebel forces at Lit
tie Rock, furnishes the following:
They left Helena on the Dist, and took tho
route to Roe Rock Ferry, and on the third
day arrived at Brownsville. Captain Nolan,
acting quartermaster c. S. A. and command
ing the post, telegraphed to Gen. Holmes.
Col Cameron delivered his dispatches, con-
sisting of two letters from Gen. Curtis and
one from Gen. Sherman, at Memphis, to Gen.
Holmes in person. Holmes protested his de-
sire to conduct the war on honorable princi-
PIES and under the rules of warfare among
civilized nations, and even ON Christian prin-
ciples.
Holmes said he knew Gen. Curtis in his
YOUTH and had expected him to pursue fair
and honorable warfare: that he for his part
was determined to resist organized forces as
long as it could be done; and unless their in
dependence was acknowledged, they would
fight until they were exterminated. While he
fought with an organized lorce, he suppressed
the patriotism of the people near Helena, and
restrained them from guerilla warfare, but
should Lee be beaten in Virginia, and Bragg
be crushed in Kentucky, he wished the people
would rise as individuals, and each man would
take upon himself the trust of expelling the
invaders.
He inquired if our army at Corinth had
been reinforced; on being assured in the neg
alive, he appeared satisfied and gratiied. He
said that on the 22d he sent a flag of truce
boat with reply to Gen. Curtis former let
ter, by way of the Arkansas and Mississippi
Rivers. He liked the spirit of Curtis letter,
and had at once sent down all his prisoners,
nearly one hundred
In his reply he stated that the cotton deal
ers taken by rebel soldiers had been, or would
be, released.
The rebels at Little Rock have information
which they credit, that Galveston, Sabine Point
and Houston had been captured by the FEEDER
al forces.

They are terribly in earnest, and will

throw aside the idea that tho Missouri
