~" Wa publish elsewhere, what little
particulars we have of the fight in North
west Arkansas. Our accounts are very
mcagre, and are altogether taken from the
Little Rock Democrat of the 10th. From
what we can gather, it appears that Gen.
Hindman had a series of small engage
mcnts with the enemy during the first week
of The present month"; and up to the Sth had
been entirely successful in driving the enc
my before him. What force the enemy has
we are left in doubt about, but they have
been forced as far back as Fayetteville and
Gen. Hindman was still pursuing them. He
had captured 800 prisoners, and part of
train of clothing. Gems. Stein and Clark,
of the Missouri Patriot army, had been kill
ed, and Gen. Hubbard, fe lernl, taken pris-
oncr. We shall probably hear further news
before many days.

The vicksburg Wing OF the 9th says:

The Vicksburg Wing OF the 9th says:
Some of the returned prisoners report
that several of the enemy's iron clads are
still between the mouth of Yazoo river and
Pennsylvania Landing. This will no doubt
be news to many of our readers who have
been led to believe that all the boats had
gone up again. 1t is orr opinion, possibly
we may be wrong, that during the present
week at least there has been a lack of Wig
iIance on the part of those whose duty it
is to announce the movements of the enc
my from Ashton down to this place. 1t is
Of the utmost Importance that We should
be posted twice day of the movements of
any boats that may appear in the river,
and we think the military authorities at
this place or Monroe should take such steps
IS will leave no doubt semi-daily reports be-
ing made. We have every facility for keep
ing properly posted, and if we allow the
enemy to announce his arrival with his
guns some one will certainly be to blame.
"a gentleman from Terrapin neck, yes
terday, informs us that six iron clads were
anchored in the river there when he left,
and that heavy ram was coming down to
take her position with them as he was
leaving. We suppose as soon as the flag of
trace boats pass up this feet will move down.
Terrapin Neck is only a short distance a.

re- The Marshall Republican of the 18th
has lengthy article on the subject of the
invasion of Texas. The editor thinks there
is no more danger of an invasion of the
State now, than there was over n year ago,
when tn same cry was raised and volun-
teers deferred from leaving our borders. He
thinks that our men should go whore they
are needed, and where there is most dan
ger of the enemy making n successful cam
paign, viz: to Mississippi. If that State
and the Mississippi river are successfully
defended by our batteries and army, the en-
envy will have enough TO do without inter-
fering seriously with Texas. There is
good deal of sound sense in the article.

The Fight In Arkansas.

The Little Rock Democrat Of the 10th
inst. has the following additional particu-
lars Of the fight in North West Arkansas;
VAN BuREN Dee. sth s62.--Squre Hind
man, rs Blount calls him, made the feds
keep ahead in yesterday light and gained
The victory. Brlmhold camped with King
last night. In Wallaoe's company, Brodie
and Hawkins were wounded, and one man
killed. Our whole loss was about 100 kill
ed and the enemys loss about three humid

wagons loaded mostly with clothing; 225
prisoners including Gen. Hubbard. Stein
and Clark were killed. Commissary stores
ordered up.
In its remarks on the News the Demo-
orat says;
In Arkansas there has been some excite
ment within the past icNvdays. Gen. Hind
man had reinforced Marmaduke and Ia
had several conflicts with the enemy, in all
of which he was successful. On Friday
and Saturday battles of some importance
were fought, but We have not ascertained
the particulars. At all events the aboli-
tionists are rctrcating. About two weeks
in Marion county, and burRt the town.
Occasionally, bands Of thieves and iayhawk-
ers come down in our State to pillage.-
The abolitionists at Helena sent one or two
expeditions up White river, TO steal cotton
and negroes but got more lead than any
thing else. They will not attempt to do
anything in this State until they see the
result of their grand expedition against
Nicksburg.
Since the above was written we have fur
Their information from the northwest Hind
man had driven the abolitionists to Fayctte-
Vile, had captured 500 prisoners, and part
of train, among which were seventeen
wagons laden with clothing 1t is reported
that Gems Steen and Clark, of the Missouri
patriot army, were killed. Our loss is said
to be not one.tour,h that of the enemy. 1t
is also reported that 1909 of the abolition
cavalry are cut off from the main army,
and there are strong hopes of bagging the
entire lot. llindmsn announces his deter

CHARLESTON, Dec. IA dispatch from
Kingston reports the Yankee feet at New
bern ready for an attack upon Wilmington.
RICHMOND, Dec AT meeting of the
Fredericksburg refugees, to night, five hun
bred dollars was subscribed for those in
needy circumstances, and ample assuran-
ccs received that their wants will be sup
piled. .
A special dispatch of the New York
Times, censure Reverdy Johnson for advi-
sing the Government TO pay back to the
French Consul the specie seized by Butler.
lie says the money, $IO5, 900, was releas-
ell on Johnson recommendation and was
actually sent to Havana within the last
hundred days by the Spanish war steamer
Blacodi de Gary. 1t was borrowed from
the Bank of New Orleans by j. d. b. DeBow,
agent Of the Richmond Government, to pay
for the cloth Havana, waiting TO run the
blockade The Bank of New Orleans has
been seized and closed by Butler for send
ing the specie to the rebels.
RICHMOND, Dec. 1.-The Fredericksburg
train arrived at late hour last night
bringing parties from Fredericksburg.
They say appearances indicate fight to
day. Some even assert that skirmishlng
begun this morning. Nothing, however,
contirmatory was received at the war Office
at s p. NJ.
KINGSTON, N. c., Dec. 1.-Two deser ers
just in from Washington report the aboli-
ton feet at Newbern, and that Whining
ton is to be attacked this week.
The reported skirmish at Cave Creek
this morning is unfounded

gs1" Our dates from Vicksburg come
down to the 10th inst, at which time the en-
emy's gunboats were beginning to assemble
above Milliken's Bend, preparatory to an
attack on that city. 1t appears, too, that
they had made dash on the Railroad be-
tween our army and Grenada, doing some
damage, but were driven back. A few days
will bring us news of heavy fighting there,
unless we are much mistaken,

THE TEXAS ExpEDITIoN.--lt seems that
G proposed Federal expedition to Texas
is TO be exclusively Yankee enterprise.
The force is made up from the New Eng
land States, and will be commanded by a
Yankee General-Banl;s. We obsere that
he has been spending some days in Boston,
where he was closeted with the Governors
of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New lamp
shire, Maine and Vermont.
Dallas herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1849-1873, 1862-12-20

GSg" Our army in Mississippi has again
fallen back to Grenada, on the Yalabusha
River, in order to avoid flank movement
of the enemy. We learn this from the
Mississppian Of the 9TH, which says that
"military men entertain no doubt of our n.
bility to defend this valley il the State of
Mississippi will do her duty, as she will
do"
Gen. 10. johnson arrived at Chattanoo-
ca on the 4th He will make his headqnar-
tiers Mt that place.
There is nothing Of Importance from
Richmond, Charleston, Mobile or Vicks-
burg, but preparations on large scale are
going on at all these places for an active
and determined winter campaign. 1t will
soon break forth in the lhunderngs OF I'M
mense artillery, and we believe that our
armies will be ready for the abolitionis's,
when they do make the attack.
Bsg~The Telegraph has runner that
Gen. Holmes and his staff had crossed the
Mississippi at Vicksburg. The Little Rock
papers ofthc 18th say nothing of it,
Northern papers are discussing the
plan Of sending provisions to feed the star
wing population of Lancashire, England.
A pretty good Yankee speculation provided
they have food enough to feed all England
Starvlings.
BfS~The Memphis (Grenada) Appeal, has
again packed up preparatory to another
fight. The falling back of our army to
Grenada and the probability that great
battle would be fought nj or near that'plnce
has rendered this more necessary. 1t will
probably 60 to Jackson Miss.
Bagn' At n Concert gotten up by few Ia
dies of Houston, n few nights ago, for the
benefit of DR., Bryans Texas Hospital in
Mississippi, the sum of $ldil, was realized.
Another Concert and Tableaux was to he
given last night by the ladies Of Calves
ton soiournng in Houston, for the benefit OF
the soldiers. The Telegraph gives lengthy
account of the first concert, and seemed
perfectly enchanted with the sweet warb-
lings OF the amateurs. He says that dit
will no doubt be long time before this city
will again be charmed with SO delicious n
treat"
