CORRESPONDENCE ST. LOUIS DEMOCRAT.
Houston, Mo-, April 1--we have been
amused at the reports concerning the
whereabouts of Price and Van Dorm. One
day they are at Pittsburg, Tenn, and next
at Pitman's Ferry on Black river, whilst
we know they are at neither place,
Last Monday Price and Van Dorn's COM
mands were at Desark, 80 miles below Jack
sonport on White river. So far from the
rebels being at Pitman's Ferry, they have
actually evacuated Pocahontas The town
is now deserted, the merchants having re-
moved their goods. Jacksonport is also
sent TO De Sark, where the rebels seem to be
concentrating in large force. Price is re-
ported to have gone to Corinth.
One, Edgar Ashbury, is trying to raise
regiment for guarrilla warfare on tn e
border Col. Schlabel 10 at Yellville, Ark,
with 500 men. Mcbride has gone to
headquarters to get an order to roise an in
dependent command TO operate in Western
Arkansas and Souther Missouri. Col He
Farland with his command has gone to
Desark.
Lieut.. Col. Wood, commandant of this
post, has been absent nearly a week. He
returned last evening, and already we are
under marching orders. So look out for
something in this district soon.
