CRUEL TREATMENT TO UNION WOMEN
AND CHILDREN.

0tteruile, Dec. Sl.-Ops Of our men captured
by the rebels u man BY the name of Clinton)
and carried to Springfield, has just returned,
that Gen. Price, with 5000 men, had taken ail
the houses In Springfield for his troops, turning
the women and children into the streets. He
had unloaded his wagons, and was making
preparations for \ long stay.
The people Of Ark ansas refused to allow Gen.
Price to enter that State with any other troops
than those regularly enlisted in the Confeder.
ate service, and he had only 500 men enrolled
In that service.
The country north Of Springfield WAS full of
men returning from Prices army, who said If
they were permitted TO return home and take
the oath of allegiance, Price would be left with
only his regular Confederate troops.
Since General Pope's rapid operations last
week, there is perfect quiet in all the region
between the Missouri and Usage rivers, and
not even rumor of rebel camps or squads
being heard Of.
