The News.

Affairs near Washington, are just now
quito interesting. There has been almost
continuous Sighting for week past. and
our army has now reached Potomac, op-
posits Washington. It does not sppsar
that they have been defeated and driven
back, or that they actually retreated. but
have rather maneuvered there, in their
movements to prevent the enemy from
aanking them. In the battles fought. our
army appear to have been fully equal to
the superior force of the enemy. The
loss Of life has been fearful, and the de-
struction of property immense. 1t is
thought the rebels are endeavoring to
cross into Maryland. and march upon
Baltimore but this will be no easy task.
Atpresent, they appear to be held in check,
but severe lighting cannot be long delay
ed. Our gunbost aotiIla is in the Po-
tomac, about Washington. ready to rem
der assistance. when required. It is hard
ly probable that the enemy will be per-
mitted to menace Washington as long Is
Mcclellan menaced Richmond. Things
in that vicinity look well enough, with
one exception: Mcclellan has been placed
in command. and has gone to reviewing
the troops. and reporting what 6ne con.
dition they are in. This calls up un-
pleasant remembrsnces. -
The rebels have taken Lexington, KY,
bot it is not known whether they intend to
march upon Cincinnati or Louisville.
Martial law has been proclaimed in both
cities, and business entirely suspended.
It looks. to stranger, as if there ought
to be enough troops down there. by this
time, to utterly annihilste the rebel force.
It is reported that Gen. Buell. had two
days battle at Chattanooga. Tennessee,
defeating the rebels. and taking 1000
prisoners but it needs confirmation. =
A large rebel force attacked our troops
at Bolivar Tennessee, but were repulsed
with heavy loss, as they were in several
subsequent engagements in the neighbor-
hood. 8ag74 ts ass Egr asa .s
The guerrilla Forrest, and his entire
command, have been defeated and scat
tered, near Lebanon, Tennessee.
It is reported that the Federals have
completely destroyed Baton Rouge, and
evacuated it.
The Secesh have Q report that their
gunb2st fleet on the Mississippi has cap.
tured The forts below New Orleans. There
is not much reliance to be placed in this
report; as the idea of . rebel fleet in the
Mississippi. after the operations there for
the past few months. sounds like a good
joke.
The guerrilla, Poiniexter. has been
captured. on the North Missouri Railroad.
and will be shot as . spy.

Indian Trouble. in Nebraska.

to-day, says 400 or 500 Yankton and
Sioux Indians attacked Pawnee village
on the Reservation on the 9th. killing
IL or IA squaws and children. and wound.
ing q number moro. Tho whites in the
immediate neighborhood manifest no
alarm, as the Sioux have not molested
them yet.
Later reports from Iowa lead to the
belief that the former reports of Indian
trouble were exaggerated. There is no
confirmation that Springfield has been
burnt. Arms and ammunition have been
sent to Fort Dodge from Davenport. for
the defence of the Northern Counties in
case of need.

The Call for Troops.
upol ps

Hast week, we published the proclamati9n of the Governor as President of the Military Blard, calling for 8,200 men to fill the requisiton made by Gen. Van Dorn. The State has been divided into -four military divisions, which are made by lines running nearly north and south and east and west. From the northeastern district ,5OO men are required; from the northwestern, 3,5OO: from the south western, 2,000, and from the south eastern, l,500.
 Sc far Arkansas has been the volunteer State of tke Confectionery. At the commencement of hostilities at least one-half the citizens of the State offered their services. We will not, now, stop to enquire why tbis-spirit was subdued and crushed. A better state of things exists now. Witk little exertion on the part of leading men, the call of the Military Board for ten regi. lnents can be met by volunteers, before the first drafting.
 One or two of our friends have written to us denouncing Goy Rector's warning or threat as they term it, of resorting to draft, and asking us to condemn it. On the contrary, we are pre- pared to sustain him and the Military Board in such measure, if it becomes necessary. To fight in Missouri, or even in Kentucky, is as much defence. of Arkansas as it would be to meet the enemy in Pulaski county Our citi- zens sre called upon to defend their homes and families It is folly to wait until the foe is within our borders.
 Armed companies will be received for twelve months; unarmed companies for three years The latter appears to be long time, but the volunteer enlists only for three years or during the war. Itis but fair to presume that it cannot last a year longer, for, in that time the North will have spent its last dollar and exhausted it's last credit. Its army will break with it's own weight. Ifthey should continue and even pene- trate into the South in less than that time we could make the climate too warm for them and drive them back. Really, there may be no difference in the time of service of the man who voluntsers for one year or three years. If the people, of the South will rise as one man, the war can be ended in six months.
 We ehope it may not be necessary to resort to draf. and dc not suppose 1t will be in two or three military districts. But fl the quota of men called for is not raised in each, we assufe our readers the draft will be made, and the au- thorities sustained in making 1t.

Whilst absent, with the Brigadier General com manding. making nasty reconnaissance, three companies of the enenys infantry, as skirnishers, appeared in front of the battalion. Major B. Johnson, then in command, promptly detached Captains Cameron's and Keeps companies (M and T.) as skirmisheTs.
 Those companies were immediately depoyed to wards the enemy, and after sharp engagement of thirty (30) minutes, drove the | ankees back in great disorder to tho river.
 The companies were admirably commanded, and fought brayely--at least eight (0l Yankees were left dead on tine ground-tourwere taken prisoners Major Johnson, seeing the companies detached warmly engaged, and fighting a superior force, or- dered forward Lieut..
