Fro nm the Arkansas Rebels.

BoLLA, Mo-, March 29.--Reliable persons
Just from our army in the Southwest, say
that the rebels, numbering some 80, 900 IN
der Van Dorm and Pice, have retreated en-
tircly across the Boston Mountains, and are
now at Van Buren, and brit Smith receiving
supplies from Memphis and Little Rock, via
the Arkansas river, which is high.
The Texas troops are much disheartened
at the death of McCulloch, and the Arkansas
troops feel the loss of Mcintosh very severe.
". The rebels are badly off for clothing
and shoes. al
Pixies Indians have mostly returned to
the Indian nation. They were not formidi
bic in battle, being panic stricken at the eff
feet of our artillery. fa a

One regiment Of Texas troops reached
Van Buren, on tho 18th to reinforce Van
Dorm, and more were expected from Louisi'
ana. The whole rebel reinforcements will
not exceed !, 900 in the next six weeks.
Lieut.. Col. Heron on the 9th Iowa, who
was taken prisoner, was in the hands Of the
rebels for two weeks.
They were badly frightened and retreatel
very rapidly, and for the first three days Of
their flight had nothing to eat. Their can
non and baggage train might have been
easily captured. ftF me5 Hr.s.
Gen. Curtis army fell back to Keitsvlle
to secure forage, Arkansas north Of Fayette.

Our forces are now camped at the head Of
Cross Timber Hollow, where water and for

Letter From Dr. Orr,

koLLA, MO-, March ~, lSb2,
Mr.. EDirCR.- Being detained here to day
to await the arrival of my. associates, Dr's.
Everett and Bosbyshell, thought I would
fil up the time by making some notes of nv
journey thus far 81 E 81
After leaving Keol>uk we soon began to
see evidences Of the dcsolating effects of war,
in the appearance Of the towns on the Mis-
souri, side of the river. Stores shut up.
mills standing idle, streets deserted, and
other striking signs Of desolation, forcibly
reminding the traveller that orr beloved
country is suffering from the designs of en-,
emics. sta..-v
AT Hannibal, our boat took on the 25th
Missouri regiment, bound south. TIE regi-
ncnt was not as well uniformed as some
have seen, but the men looked well, and
seemed delighted at the idea of getting re-
lieved from the duties Of guarding bridges.
While at st. Louis had the pleasure OF
seeing the 18th Iowa make its entrance into
the city. This regiment was fully uniformed
and presented fine. appearance. It's made
up of stout men. and will no doubt maintain
