Gainesville, is through the heart Of the Ozark |
Mountain range. The country IS barren Of
supplee, and the rebels will suffer seriously |
for the want of forage before they reach
comfortable resting place In Arkansas. The |
expedition from Southeast Missouri, un-
der command of Gen. ]. ". Davidson, has !
been given up. Its object originally was the
capture Of IN extensive guerilla camp, formed
ct Pocahontas, Ark. The rebels broke mp this
camp themselves, and sent their men to Little
Rock and westward. There is no doubt that
part Of them, who recognized Bnrbridge as
their leader, TOOK part IN the raid toward
Springfield. Tie second object OF Dayidson's
expedition was to co-operate, By a flank move
ment, in the contemplated movement against
Little Rock. This object has been defeated By
the capture Of Arkansas Post and the proba.
