THE DEFEAT OF PRICE.
REBELS COMPLETELY WHIPPED.
THEIR DESPERATION

RoLLA, Mo-, March 16.-The remains oil
Colonel Hendricks OF the 29th Indiana
regiment, killed at the battle of Pea Ridge,
Arkansas, arrived here yesterday accom-
panied by his brother and three other gen.
tlemen who left the battle ground on the
Monday following the battle.
They represent the battle as terrible
ope. The rebels fought desperately, using
stones in their cannon when their shot gave
cut.
The force of the rebels is stated at 35 900
including 1900 Indians under Albert Pike.
AS far as could be ascertained our loss is
600 killed and 800 TO 1000 wOuuded. The
rebel surgeons who came to dress the
wounds OF their fallen, acknowledge loss
of 100 killed and from $500 to 5000
wounded.
We took 1000 prisoners and thirteen
pieces of artillery, ten of which were cap
tured by General Sigel's command and
three by Colonel Patterson's brigade.
Two of our cannon belonging to David
sons battery were taken by the rebels but
were recaptured by our troops.
The rebels were completely whipped.
One division under Price fleeing in one di>
rection and others under Van Dorm taking
another.
Major Herbert, of one OF the Louisiana
regiments, who was taken prisoner, says
that General Frost, of Camp jackson noto-
riety, was killed.

WAR IN MISSOURI.
STILL ANOTHER VICTORY.

RoLLA, Mo, March 18.--A short time
since, anticipating rebel movements in Tex.
as county, Missouri, General HalIeck or /.
dered five companies of troops and two
light steel 6.pou nders mounted on two
wheels and drawn by two horses under Col.
Wood to repair to that vicinity. Finding
no enemy there Colonel Wood pushed on
to Salem, Fulton county, Arkansas, where
he encountered largely superior forces of
rebels and after sharp fight routed them,
killing about 100 and taking many priso>
ners, among the latter three Colonies. Our
loss was about fifty.
The prisoners taken by General Curtis
at Pea Ridge are now en- route to st. Louis,
under proper guard.
The reports that General Curtis is in a
dangerous position are false. Forage for
cavalry is scarce but in other respects the
situation of our troops is cheering. The
demoralized and crippled forces of Price
and Van Dorm are moving south.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TIE PoToMAc, |
FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, March IA.
Soldiers of the Army Of the Potomac:
For long time 1 have kept you mac.
tive. but not without a purpose.
You were to be disciplined, armed, and
instructed. The formidable artillery you
have, had to be created. Other armies
were to move and accomplish certain re-
suits.
have held you back that you might
give the death-blow to the rebellion which
has distracted this once happy country.
The patience you have shown, and your
confidence in your General, are worth a
dozen victories.
These preliminary results are now accom-.
plished. l feel that the patient labors of
many months have produced their fruits.
The Army of the Potomac is now real
army, magnificent in material, admirable
in discipline and instruction. Your com.
manders are all that could wish.
The moment tor action has arrived and l
know | Can trust in you to save our coun.
try.
As l ride through your ranks l see in
your faces the sure prestige OF victory. l
feel that you will do whatever | ask of you.
The period Of inaction has passed. l will
bring you now face to face with the rebels,
and only pray that God may defend the
right.
10 whatever direction / may move, how
ever strange my actions may appear to you,
ever bear in mind that my fate is linked
with yours, and that all do is to bring
you, where l know you wish to be, on
the decisive battlefield. 1t is my business
to place you there.
am to watch over you as parent over
his children, and you know your General
loves you from the depths of his heart. 1t
shall be my care. as it has ever been, to gain
success with the least possible loss, cut
know that if it is necessary you will will
ingly follow me to our graves tor our right
eous cause. God smile upon US as victory
attends.
Yet l would not have you think that our
aim is to be obtained without manly
struggle. will not disguise it from you,
that you have brave foes to encounter, foe
men we'll worthy of the steel which you
will use so well.
shall demand from you great and heroic
exertions. rapid and long marches, desperate
combats, and privations. We will share
all these together, and when this sad war is
over, we will all return to our homes and
feel that we can ask no higher honor than
the proud consciousness that we belonged to
the Army of the Potomac.

REBELS CLEANED OUT


ST.. LOUIS, March 15.-Brigadier Gener-
al Pope, in despatch to General Halleck
says:
Our success at New Madrid has been even
greater than was reported. Twenty-Five
pieces Of heavy artillery, consisting of a.
Founders, and rifled 32-pounders two bat,
teries of field artillery, an immense quantity
of fixed ammunition, several thousand small
arms, hundreds of boxes OF musket cartridges.
three hundred mules and horses, tents for
an army of 10000 men, and an immense
quantity of other property of not less value
than 81 100000 has fallen into our hands.
Their men only escaped. The enemy's
force is demoralized and dispersed in the
swamps on the opposite side of the river.
The enemy abandoned their works so bur.
riedly as to leave all the baggage of their
officers, and the knapsacks of their men,
their dead unburied and their suppers on
the tables, and candles burning in their
tents.
A furious thunder storm which ragged all
night, enabled the enemy to get across the
river without being discovered.
Our heavy battery was erected during
the night OF the 18th, within 800 yards Of
the enemys works, and opened at daylight
on the 18th, just "a hours after the guns
were delivered to us at Cairo.
During the whole day of yesterday our
lines were drawn closer around their works
under furious fire of go pieces of artil.
lery.
The fear of an assault on the works at
daylight induced them to flee precipitately
during the night.
Many prisoners have been taken, also the
colors Of several Arkansas regiments.
Our loss is about fifty killed and
wounded.
Hollins was in command of the feet.
Generals McCoon, Stuart and Gnatt in
command of the land forces.
TIE gunboats went down the river.
General Pope has twenty-five heavy guns

A strong Union feeling is manifested

The impression prevails that Island No
10, will not offer much resistance. Said to
be 1000 troops at Union; 1000 at Hum

in the latter place also are said to be twelve

The Minnesota, meantime; whenever the

It, kept the air filled with bowling shot and

when the hull Of the Merrimac, near her
