ceeding three or four by casualties a day

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Is. The first full reg-
ment of colored men raised in Pennsylvania left
to-day for Morris Island to reinforce Gen. Gil

New YORK, August Is. A correspondent of
the Chicago Times, writing from Helena, Ark o.,
August 9Th, says:
reached this city yesterday from Vicksburg
Tor the purpose of accompanying an expedition ,
under Gen. Steele, now fitting out for Little
Rock. Gen. Steele came here from Gen. Grant s
army at Vlcksburg, with specific orders for this
purpose. | have reason to believe that, during
the present summer, the rebels will be entirely
driven out of Arkansas, and perhaps from the
entire trans Mississippi region.
Our scouts report Gen. Price at Little Rock
with from 1000 to 10000 men, Marmaduke
at Jacksopport with about 4 ,0O0 and COL Dob
bin on the Cache river near Cotton Plant, with
o force of about 1000
This is probably the whole force west of the
Mississippi, with the exception of Kirby Smith
command, which i: is believed is really the
force operating against Gen. Bsnks on the line
OF the Opelousas railroad.
In the present condition of the country the
rebels cannot augment their force to any great
extent, and with the forces at our command, if
brought to bear, we can an icipate an easy VIC
tory.
1t is now almost rendered certain that the re-
dao Of -, "
some time past he has INDUCED to excess in ar
dent spirits, and at the time of the fight here
was said to be SO drunk as to forget Gen Price 8
force altogether He is SO i'd to have died of de-
lirium tremens. His death devolves the COM
mand of the troops in Arkansas upon General
Price.

demnation OF the course the North Carolinians
ohO P"AoNAbS III waning ihSco SOhfOuVlOu vi
the Uaionists of that State, for the purpose of
sending delegation to Washington.

have been greatly strengthened.

shire regiment, Col. Pike, arrived to-day, from

from Washington to this evenings Post con-
tans the following.
Gov. Tod of Ohio, Senator Cowan of Penn
sylvania, Senator Harris of New York, and sew
eral other persons of large influence, had an IN
terview with the President this morning. Sew
eral Generals were also present and took part.
The purpose of the interview relates to an i'm,
portant military demonstration. 1t would not
be proper to reveal what it was, or the COM

but it was earnestly pressed and several of the

mendous blow on the rebellion.
