THE BATTLE NEAR FAYETTEyILLE,
ARKANSAS.
GEN. CURTIS OFFICIAL REPORT.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 9.-IHdj. Gen. II. W. Halleck.
GeRerdi-m- Chiet'' My forces of the Army of
the Frontier united near Fayetteville, in the
midst Of a hard fought battle. Gen. Blunt had
sustained his position at Cane Hill till Satur-
day night, when the enemy, 25, 900 strong, under
Gen. Hindman, attempted flank movement on
his left, to prevent the arrival of Gen Heron 5
forces, which had been approaching for four
days by forced marches.
Sunday, about 10 a. M, the enemy attacked
Gen. Heron near Fayetteville, who by gallant
and desperate fighting, held him in check for
three hours, until Gen. Blunt's division came up
and attacked him in the rear.
The fight continued desperate until dark. Our
troops bivouacked on the battlefield, while the
enemy retreated across the Boston Mountain
The loss on both sides is heavy, but much the
greatest on the side of the enemy, our artillery
creating terrible slaughter In their greater num-
bers. The enemy had great advantage in posi-
ton.
Among the enemy's killed was Col. Stein,
formerly brigadier general of the Missouri State
guards.
Both Gems Blunt and Heron deserve especial
cOmmendaton for their gallantry in the battle
of Fayetteville, Ark.

Major General Commanding.

sNIn his lettert to Mr.. Adams ofsept. 26, four
days after the issue ofthe Presidents immortal
proclamation of emancipation, Gov. Seward
says
at 10 hoped and believed that, afterthe pain
full experience we have had Of the danger to
which the Federal connection with slavery Is
exposing the Republic, there will be few indeed
who will insist that the decree which brings the
connection to an end either could or ought to
have been deferred.
The interests of humanity have now become
Identified with the cause of our country, and
this has resulted not from any infraction of
constitutional restraints by the Government, but
from persistent, unconstitutional, and factions

ed themselves to BOTH"

WATEK Poor CAHTRIDGEs.-During the
past few days, experiments have been made, In
the Army and Navy Departments, in connec-
ton with new proof skin cartridge, in
vented and manufactured by d. c. Sage, Mid
dletown, Connecticut. The experiments were
carefully and thoroughly made, and resulted in
establishing the fact that soldiers can keep
their powder dry If it is encased in one of these
skin cartridges. Truly, the war is developing
a vast amount of ingenuity and promises to
bring into use such powerful and destructive
agents, and such vast Improvements in NUM-
tion8 of war, that the time must soon come
when wars will be Of short duraron-terrible,

Since the election in Missouri, In which the

there was one man who didn't give up-a

The energy Of quartermasters and commits

hour. these departments will be found In excel
