The Battle of Prairie Grove-Additional Partic-
ularS.

FAYETTEVILLE, ARK, Dec. Is.
The following additional particulars of the
battle of Prairie Grove have been received.
The total loss of killed and wounded in
Gen. Herron's command is 843. In Gen.
Blunt's 152. Total 995. This is official.
Accounts continue to come in which
increase the rebel loss in killed and wound
ed to about 2,7O0, and nearly 5000 by
desertion.
Thirty.6ve commissioned officers of Gen.
Herron's command we're killed or wounded.
The most reliable information by spies is
that Hindman is on the south side of the
Arkansas river, with his entire force Of
infantry and artillery; and Marmaduke is
on the north side with heavy cavalry
force.
Our outposts are within twenty miles Of
Van Bureu.
The forage south of the Boston Noun
tains, along the Arkansas river, is said to
be entirely consumed.
The rebels use most frivolous pretexts to
send in flags of truce. Yesterday Hindman
had the im2udence, by flag of truce, to
request the privilege of sending an engineer
to make drawings of the battle field Of
Prairie Grove and its approaches. General
Blunt replied that he would grant the re-
quest when one of bi, engineers was allowed
to make survey of Van Buren and its
approaches.
Great activity prevails in the Army Of
the Frontier, and campaign of much
interest is on the tapis.
Gen. Heron bad only $500 men of bis
command in the battle, the remainder fall
ing to arrive through excessive fatigue.
Major Hubbard, who was a prisoner in
the hands Of the rebels during the day Of
the battle, counted twenty-five regiments Of
infantry, ten regiments of cavalry and
twenty two pieces Of artillery on the re-
treat.
An account in the St. Louis Dem. says
Gen. Blunt ranged his twenty -four pieces
in line and opened CALLING fire upon the
left wing of the rebel army, and drew
portion Of their attention towards his for
ces. They advanced upon him from the
woods at double quick, in eight ranks,
seemingly half mile long. They went
down gentle smooth slope. with an easy
prey apparently in view. When they had
got to certain point, within canister range,
be opened his entire fire upon them, " fairly
lifting them from the ground as he after
wards described it. This checked their
impetuosity and put terror into their hearts,
but still they went on. Another and an
other volley was given to them till they
broke and fed, and when the remnant of
! the s,orming party had left the field the
ground was piled and strewn with the rebel
slain. In the meantime our boys bad not
been idle, The pressed the enemy hotly at
every point, and as the sun went down they
were falling back in every direction. Be-
fore it had become fully dark the only
sounds of firing heard we're those Of our
own musketry and cannon. The field was
and the victory gained.
At nine o'clock of the same evening the
enemy we're in full retreat towards Van
Buren,, and at daylight this morning they
were twelve miles away. A more complete
and glorious victory meyer was obtained. Az
soon as the pail of night had descended up
on their motions perfect stampede took
place.

to follow each other in any rotation. So

discovered that corn Suffers essentially. IL al

at the same time upon the soil. A heavier
draft Is, of course, made upon the soil If a
large crop, be taken of. II is common
practice in some good farming communities.
TO drop few beans on the south side OF
every corp bill having less than three stalks.
Another method is the following: The
