east; either outnumbering, and both prepared to attack him. He then commenced his retreat to the south, with $500 effective fighting men, pur- sued by 5000 cavalry and infantry with l5 pieces of artillery. He anticipated no difficulty exceptin crossing the St. Francis river, which was swollen rapid, unbridged and no ferry boats upon 1t. He marched slowly, and sent forward all his broken down and dismounted men to construct ratts on the St. Francis. Vandeyer and McNeil pursued but did not seem anxious for fight. Light rear guard fighting was of daily occurrence, and two or three times battle offered and declined when our forces occupied advantageous positions.
 Marmaduke reached Chalk Bluffs 1st of May, dismounted the most of his men, and posted them in line of battle miles from the crossing, until he had crossed his wagons, horses and artillery. That night he quietly withdrew and by sunrise had al his men safely over. Here the pursuit ended.
 Marmaduke's entire loss on the expedition was 30 killed, 60 wounded and l2O missing, (stragglers perhaps captured) He gained on the raid l50 re cruits. The federal loss must have been five times greater. In every instance when they made th' attack, they were repulsed.
 The retreat is represented to have been skill fully executed almost without loss. The steadi ness and bravery of the troops were admirable Al no time were they demoralized or disordered but always willing, even anxious to fight.

FEDERAL RAIDs.-The federals are hugely tickled at the narratives of the exploits of Grierson, in Mississippi, and Stoneman, in Virginia Exag- gerated accounts of these raids are published in the northern papers and eagerly swallowed. It is likely they may try the experiment. Tn other loca- ties especially as it is supposed by many that their policy now is to damage us all they can during the spring and summer, and in the fall, to give us the stroke of grace. The success of these enterprises depends on their unexpectedness. Where they are known they are prevented In localities where such raids are possible, the people should bear in mind that these invaders represent that they are the advance of thousands, and say this to awe the people into on-resistance. Their numbers are al ways over estimated, and few men hanging upon their fanks in front or in rear, always has the effect to huddle them, turn them back or hasten their flight for safety. One expedition of this kind, l700 strong. was checked in this way and finally gobbed up, arms, horses and all, by Forrest. Two or three have been turned back with heavy loss. Very often they burn bridges behind them to prevent pursuit. In such case, the burning of a bridge before them, may be the means of having the whole command caught. The people should bear in mind that their stories of large federal forces following them are all false; that they are simply band of marauders and plunderers; and that if the people of the country will harrass, worry and delay. y.them, they will be caught If un- molested they spread over the country, and do a great deal of mischief; if worried, they keep closely together, and soon leave the country However, their late experiments in that line have sickened them, and their experience in Arkansas is not of the kind to prepossess them ill favor of such attempts here.

and Helena is that Grant is defeated. There is very little doubt but the battle has been fought and won. Indeed. if we had no account ot it, the knowledge of the situation of the opposing forces, and that one must advance and the other repel, would force upon our minds the conclusion of a battle being fought.

At meeting of the company officers of til c
l20th Regt. o. V. l., Capt. Au being appointed
President, Capt Mckinley Vice President, and
Capt. G. P. Emrck Secretary, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, An article published in the Woos-
ter Republican of the 9Th Of February, entitled
--latest from the 9th and l20th Regts," where.
in the good name and reputation Of the officers
of the i20th is viainously assailed by base and
malignant filings, as well as a direct charge upon
the officers of this regiment as being political
demagogues and rebel sympathisers in disguise,
and being designated as political charlatans, who
brood over the regiment, preventing them fiom
going on gloriously conquering and to conquer,
proclaiming this regiment demOralized and dis
ccuraged by the acts of the officers, in discussing
politics and thereby bringing sickness and death
upon the soldiers, therefore be it
ResoLued, That we denounce as an Infamous
falsehood the base charge made in said article
against US, the officers of said regiment, and
brand the coiner of them as a vile slanderer, a
base and malignant falsifer and q traitor to his
country and her soldiery.
Resolved That without Boosting or egotism, we
point with pride to the history Of the l2Oth at
Chickasaw Bluffs and Arkansas Post as given
by our commanding Generals as complete relu
tation of the infamous falsehoods perpetrated by
said Editor in the article referred to-
Resolued, That while we lament over the deaths
of our brave comrades, and deeply sympathize
with the sick, we feel assured that all has been
done by our regimental and medical officers that
could be- under the circumstances for their relief
Our regiment never having seen servce, having
been organized little OYER three months when
they we're called upon to endure the exposures,
fatigue and hardshies of older regiments, both at
Chickasaw Bluffs and Arkansas Post, and VITA
pride and satisfaction we can pout to what is row
history, of the acts and deeds OF the l2Oth o. V L.
Resolued, That the charge that we are rebel
sympathizers, is base, malignant and false, and
that we call upon eur neghbors and friends to
vindicate our characters when thus assailed while
we are in front of the eDemy's works at Vlcks-
bur-, exposed to all the privations aud hardships
OF mp life, far from home and unable to meet
the base slanderers, who thus msl,gn our fair
