stable, and foand good looking stallion, but
one Of his feet was little sore. "That won't

Twelve Thousand Rebels I'm Ar
INDIANS AGAIN ON THE WAR PATH.

From the Leavenworth (Kansas) Conservative
June 4th.]
During the past three days Gen. Blunt has
been receiving intelligence, by telegraph and
by messengers, OF a new and important rebel
movement in Arkansas. 1t will be recolected
that Gov. Rector published, few weeks ago.
Q proclamation, declaring that Arkansas b ad
received no protection from the Confederate
government, and that she would hereafter rely
upon her own right arm. This proclamation
was ridculed by the press as manifesting a
new and ridiculous attempt at seeding from
secession. Ii is now rendered certain that
Gov. Rector was indeed earnest. The latest
sdvices are to the effect that his appeal has
been responded 10 by the people. by com
bining the remnant of McCuloch's old force,
by Indians, and by new conscriptions, an army
of twelve thousand men bas been collected.
They have twenty five. pieces Of artillery.
The rebles are commanded by Rains, ScbsI-
wait and Csffsy. IL wss the purpose or the
leaders 10 havethis force at Fort Smith, Ark,
last Friday MAY s0tb.) From that point
they intend 10 move to Cowskin Prairie, near
tho line between Arkansaa and Missouri. Cog
skin Praire is in Mcdonald county, the ex.
about seventy five miles from Fort Smith.
The country over which the rebels must march
is much broken and badly adapted for the
rapid movement Of troops.
This Intelligence, serious a, il is, need Gro.
ate no alarm in Kansas. The commander Of
this department is the man Of all others for
tho emergency. He has travelled over every
foot of he ground, and knows thoroughly the
tactics 10 be used towards such foe. There
are st'l. Thousands Of troops in Kansas, well.
drilled and we'll armed there are at least ten
regiments in Missouri that can easily be con
at Fort Scott. 10 artillery we are
peculiarly fortunate, having effective batteries
and large oumber Of guns.
Geu. Bunt will omit no act necessary TO
make our troops efficient.
BY the evacuation Of Corinth the rebel
forces will be increased rather than diminished. |
The soldiers Of Missouri, Texas and Arkansas
will naturally return to tho vicinity Of their
own homes, determined to save them although |
Besuregard retreat forever. And they may
be followed up the Arkansas by that feet Of
ginboats which is so severely pressed by Foote
aud Fsrragut.
In view Of these facts il will not be at all
improbable II the border war lasts through the |
sunmer and the last and most desperate con.
fIcts take place on the soil WHERE treason first
manifested her hellish purposes.
