THE CHASE AFTER PRICE.
SPRINGFIELD, Feb. "a. via
LEBANON, Feb. l8.

The great military race taking place
between our army and the rebel forces
in the Southwest, bids fair to become
distinguished among the most remarka-
ble of the kind in the annals Of war
| add few particulars to my dispatch
this morning, obtained from the mes
senger.
The Federal army on Sunday night
encamped about fifteen miles beyond
Keetsville. Barry county, on the Fay
etteville road.
Price encamped for the night seven
miles beyond.
Gen. Curtis's headquarters was at
Maj. Hsrben's house. Orders were
given to start at four O'Clock yesterday
Monday morning.
The messenger, as previously report
ed, heard heavy firing in the morn
ing. which soon ceased.
Our forces were taking an average
of seventy-6ve prisoners daily, and
have captured a large number OF
horses and twenty-five wagons.
Sigel joins Curtis at Cassville.
Had Price not been disturbed at
Crane Greek, Sigle. it is thought,
would have headed him off.
Our cavalry usually come up with
the rebel rear guard about 8 O'Clock P.
NJ. and give them few shots from
the mountain howitzers, to try their
mettle.
The first tins Prices batteries re-
piled to us was on Sunday. The reb-
els were too hard pushed to long re-
turn compliments OF that kind.
It was reported that Price would
come up with re-enforcements at Cross
Hollows-s days march from his camp.
Sunday night. two Of our men were
killed at Keetsville by some rebels, who
fred from behind a corn-crib. One ol
the former received three shots before
he fell.
The army marches from twenty to
twenty. y.ive miles per day.
Great confidence is felt in the skill,
enterprise and confidence Of General
Curtis.

who gave promise of bright future,
and one around whom clustered the
strong and enduring friendship OF our
whole people.
Dresser's and Scbwartz's batteries
were brought into action, but were
soon taken by the enemy. The 18th
Illinois regiment. with clubbed mus

recovered Schwartz's. The rebels had

Tar SrTuAfIoE.--The dispatches
this morning tend to confirm the repor.
ted surrender Of Tennessee 10 the Fed.
era. authorities. We have had rumors
for two or three days that this step bad
been resolved upon BY the rebel Gov.
ernor HARRrs of Tennessee, bu. moth.
ing authentic bad been received. We
have nothing definite now. but the
movements Of the army at Cairo on
Sunday show that surrender has been
proposed. The gunbosts, supported
by large force Of infsntry, proceeded
to Columbus yesterday morning. The
former were made ready to land, and
the boats formed in line Of battle and
prepared for an attack. After the 6rsi
shot q flag Of truce was sent out from
Columbus, and after consultation o.
an hour and q half, the infantry uers
ordered back to Cairo. Nothing had
transpired as to the result Of the inter
view at Cairo last evening. The boats
had not returned.
IL was reported and believed thai
Gen. BUELL.. who has taken command
Of his division in person, occupied
Nashville yesterday.
The indications are that all the forti.
fed points IN Tennsssee--including
Nashville. Columbus and Memphis
are to be surrendered without q fight;
and it is probable that the report Of q
general laying down of arms in the
State viii be confirmed. This would
be blow 10 the rebellion still more Sc
we're than the fall Of Fort Donelson. -
Tennessee in our possession. and all
railroad communication between other
seeded States could soon be controlled.
The work goes bravely forward. I'm
portant events follow closely upon each
other. all pointing to the certain over
throw of the rebels.--Cin. Gas. 24th.
