The news from the Southwest of recent date in.

were at Elkhorn Tavern, on Sugar Creek, near the
scene Of the famous Pea Ridge battle. Schofeld

little firing to- place on the advance of eight miles
from Elkhorn Tavern toward Fayetteville, but it
was simply an effort TO scare our advance by few
shots from the brush, and it did not succeed. Gen.
Curtis is to-day expecting to hear of Gen. Schofeds
arrival a, Fayetteville. The probable future move

Nothing can be learned from our military men on
the subject, snda your correspondents in this vicn

Among the recent arrivals in this State from Dixie
is a son of Maior-Gen. Sterling Price of the Rebel
army, Edwin Price, who recently held Bngadiers

leased on parole by Gen. Haeck. He remained
quietly on bis fathers farm, near Brunswick, No.,
until about month ago, when he was allowed to
proceed to Dixie TO be exchanged for Cen PrsIltiss

commission in the Rebel army, is exempt from

II Is announced at Gen. Curtiss headquarters that
Young Price has not been exchanged. This is an
extraordinary affair. Here Is an avowed Confede-

changed who returns and says he has resigned, and
therefore cannot be exchanged, travelling through
the country unmolested, and enjoying himself any
