from gentleman who left Bowling Green,
after its occupation by our troops:
Gen. A. Sidney Johnston was one Of
the last to leave Bowling Green, but left
in such hurry that he iorgns his eYefeeat.
He took the Pike TO Nashville. Colonel
Thomas H. Hunt left for New Orleans
for the benefit of his health, and AIexan-
der Casseday succeeded to the command.

Tennessee. Young Tom Clay is on Buck

al for II. Donelson, IS probably prisoner.

Nashville. Henry j. Lyons has left for
the purpose Of visiting California, not

Dispatches received at the head quar-
ters OF department of the West this
corning, announce that the army under
Gen. Curtis had again routed Gen. Price.
together with the forces sent to his assist
aDce BY the Coniederates under the CON-
mand of Gen. McCulloch at Cross Hollows
in Arkansas. This was the place at which
Price WIS expected to make his last de-
termined stand 1t is 40 miles from the
Missouri boundary line, and point at
which desperate resistance might well be
made. Gen. Curtis forced Price to leave
behind him all his military stores, and al
SO his sick and wounded.
Previous to his abandonment of the
ground he ordered all his camp eouipage
to be burned. and it WAS done.
Gen. Curtis. in his dispatch to General
Halleck, says most Of our provisions for
the las. ten days have been taken from the
enemy.
Price burned the extensive barracks at
Cross Hollow to prevent the troops from
occupying them.

ne goes to charging around like a mad
bull. In his desperation. he tries to
throw dust and cover uphis /" four dollar"
humbug by charging that We lad palmed

pers as last nights kilograms" Wrong
again, Judge. Never did any such thing.
And when you insinuate either privately
or in your paper, that we did not take,
pay for, and publish ali the Associated
Press Reports that wore sent to any of
the Western papers, you assert tina. which
is simply false.
1t Is true We never endeavored to build
up reputation for enterprise by palming
OH four dollar specials that were not
specials, and that never cost a cent
That kind of enterprise has never been
infused into this Journal, and we think
never will be. We leave that field to
