FROM ARKANSAS.
The Situation Previous to the Battle,

ST. Louis, March 10 The CORRESPONDENT
of the Missouri Democrat writing from Cross
Hollows, Ark, March LIST, saye vigorous re.
cOnnoissances are kept up to watch the enc
my's movements, and foraging parties are ac.
tive in obtaining supplies. Pork and beef are
purchased in the vicinity in abundance, and
about half the quantity of flour required is
obtained in the same manner, as well as our
forage.
Price, whose retreat is acknowledged on all
hands to have been ably conducted, has found
refuge in Boston mountains. From two de-
serters who came into camp yesterday, it is
ascertained that he is encamped on Cave Creek
road, while McCulloch is posted II miles
distant The latter had burnt village near
the Indian frontier, known as Caul Hill The
supplies OF the rebel army are obtained from
Van Buren,. 1t is stated on good authority
that Price and McCulloch had violent quar-.
rel before leaving Cross Ilollows. AT Fay cite.
vile We found all the telegraphlc dispatches
up to the time of the evacuation by the rebels,
A dispatch from Mcintosh to Herbert, in com.
mand at Cross Hollows, urges him to press
forward and reinforce Price at Springfield, at
all hazards, as that point is important to be
held by the contederateS.
Ex-senator johnson of Missouri who open.
ed recruiting office at Springfield, for the
rebels, previous to Prices departure, was the
first TO reach Fayetteville, where he stopped
several days.
The clemency Of Gen. Curtiss, and the Ju.
diciOus policy inaugurated in relation to the
treatment OF citizens of Benton county is
bringing i reward in the general confidence
already showing indications of being restored
among fugitives who fled at our approach.
Confederate bills which were 25 cents discount
on our arrival in Benton county, have sudden.
ly become valueless, and Inhabitants refuse to
tale them.
Major Wright learns that citizen OF Keets.
vile knew OF the intended attack on that
place and communicated intelligence to the
rebels, but kept all intimation of it from Capt.
Montgomery. On the afternoon before the
fight the ladies OF the town lett one by one,
and during the attack all were out. Major
Wright learns that there are fifty i've hundred
rebels in Cedar county and in Dade county,
Missouri. These parties are committing dep.
relations, and swearing vengeance against
Union men. The health of the troops has
been good, particularly on the march.

directed whole broadside at it, and received
his injuries IRON minute fragments of shells

Late from Nashville,

The Memphis Avalanche has IT,.
following:
We have late and authentic intelli
sence from Nashville, by a citizer.
who left there on Monday morning,
10 the effect that the city was for
'nerly surrendered by Mayor Chear-
ham to the Federals on Sunday.
1t is true that the Federals had mo-
previously entered the city, but re-
Siment of Federal cavalry We're en-
eamped in the town of Edgeheld, ).
short distance from Nashville.
1t was to this point that Maynr
Choatham repaired, and formerl,
rendered the city, with all the publ.
stores 1t contained, to the Commander
Of the Federal forces.
The I'ederais seemed 10th 10 i,s-
l;"ve that the city had really beer,
surrendered, and accordingly ONLY
sem over hltech men To take posses
oion-and even these seemed to rs.
on the lookout for a surprise of so,sls
sort.
There was q large amount OF bacon
aud other army stores in the city o.
t'ashviIlc. and Cot. Forrest of .hi~
lily, was engaged up to Sunday n.
crnoou attending on the saving and
transportation Of the same Whiic
in this service. Mayor Cheat
lanl opposed and told him to desi-t,
lie having formally given up the sane
o the Federal officer. Those Of W.
Who know Col. Forrest can well ina.
line what his reply would be to s-nch
n order. He told the Mayor tf,a-
ee ranked all officers then in the city.
hat be was 4 Confederate officer and
hat : l.e did not des;st from inter
erance, he would take force. Subs
uently, q lot of low flung characters
bout the city commenced series Of
expectations upon private prope4;N.
nd the Mayor being powerless to r.
ress them, it is reported that Col
'orrest took a detachment, and meet
ng them IN the public square, killed
We OF them before they were dis

1t thus appears that the Fed r;,Is

cd in a special dispatch to the Ava
anche On Sunday, and that, too, not.
outstanding the Federal forces We're
OF in the city: in any considerable
