RECLAMATION OF ARKANsAs.-The Federal
forces by this time, are, doubtless, in posses-
sion of Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas
In capturing Little Rock, we have made a
valuable acquisition. It is an excellent pos,,s
d'appui for further military operations in that
quarter. The town Is situated on the right, or
southern bank Of the Arkansas river, about
800 miles from its mouth. Among its public
buildings is a U. S. Arsenal, the State Peniten.
tiary, City Hall, and six or seven churches
Before the war, there were three newspapers
published in Little Rock, but by this time they
are probably all extinct. The town enjoys reg
ular steamboat communication with different
points on the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers
The surrounding country is celebrated for its
fine quarries Of slate and granite. The origin
OF the name Little Rock is thus explained In
ascending the river there appears on the south
bank, rising ont Of the water, a bold, igneous
slate rock, which at low water, is about IS feet
from the surface, but at high water is almost
hidden from view. This gives name TO the
city, and is called by the townspeople "Point
Of Rocks" The population, previous to the
rebellion, was about 5000. There are but few
Confederate troops Of any account, now, south
OF the Arkansas river, and as we have no idea
that that few are in condition to resist the
Union troops now pressing them so hard, it
cannot be long ere Arkansas will be fully re.
stored to the Union.
