THE LATE BATTLE IN ARKANSAS.

We get the following from the Memphis cor
respondence of the Savannah Republican.
The details of the battle in Arkansas come
slowly. 1t appears, much to the qualification Of
every one, that Gen. Price not wounded, aud
that Col. ilebcrt, though wounded and captured,
was not killed. Our total loss in killed, wounded
and prisoners, did not reach 500; that Of the enc
my is estimated to be three times arge-say
1900. They admit themselves that they suffered
greatly. The prisoners We took, reported at 23O,
have not arrived yet Such Of the supplies We
took could be used at the time, were consumed
by men, and the remainder destroyed. Our
own trains had been withdrawn to place of safe
ty.
There was some confusion in the first telegraphic
accounts Of the battle, owing to the statement that
the Conlederates had got in the rear of the Fed
erals and were driving them Southwark. 1t APP
pears that while McCulloch and Mcintosh were
conducting the attack in front, Price marched his
Missouri troops fourteen miles by circuitous
route to the rear of the enemy. Unfortunately,
just after he arrived and getting into position,
he was informed by courier Of the fall of McCul-
loch and Mcintosh, and the confusion that sue
ceeded that uutimely occurrence. During this
confusion in front aud the hesitation that followed
in the rear, the enemy changed his position and
threw lis entire force upon Price, who made a
most noble defence, and inflicted tremendous loss
upon his assailants, Night coming on, the fight
ceased, aud was not renewed next morning, except
teint to enable our forces to withdraw in the
direction of their supplies
Our last accounts represent the enemy to be
falling back. The capture and destruction of a
large portion Of his supplies, both before and dur
the battle, has doubtless compelled him to retraee
his steps in order to rcp.enish his stores.

BURNING C0TroN.--We learn on the best
authority that Pcyton Atkinson Esq, of Pitt
County, North Carolina has already burned eight
h""d'ed bales Of cotton of his plantations,
rather than that it should remain liable to the
plundering r"i1s Of the enemy When man
thus voluntarily sacrifices over thirty thousand
dollars worth of his own property, from sense of
patriotic duty, he gives the most convincing evil
dence that he belongs indeed to people who are
I" terribly in earnest" and will shrink from no
sacrifices of private interest that the cause may
demand
Mr. Atkinson is not alone. The patriotic
planters Of Pitt, Edgecombe and other exposed
counties determined that none Of their cotton
shall fall Into the hands of the invaders HtI.
