Saturday Gen. Heron started with portion

Gave Hill at the same time by another route
The two columns, about 1000 strong, went in

cavalry and artillery, numbering 2.000, started
for Van Buren, leaving the infantry to follow ss
fast as possible.
Two rebel regiments of cavalry we're encoan-
tered at Dripping Spring, and after short skir
mish put to flight. leaving killed and wounded
on the field. Our ioes, none killed, and but few
wounded. Our force Immediately followed the
flying rebels to Van Buren,. where splendid
charge was made, led by Generals Blunt and
Herrsn in person, resulting in a complete victo

aboard some steamboats, and to escaped
to the other side Of the river. Two steam
ers were overhauIed and prisoners, along

press HesAnger, we're captured. The third
boat was run ashore, which, with those that
took the rebels across the river will be des-
troyed.
A large quantity Of corn, camp equipsge,
transportation, hoiees and mules, were also
seized The full extent of captures are not yet
known. When the messenger left, the infantry
and artillery we're about eight miles in the rear,
Fastening forward as fast as nearly impossible
roads will allow. The people of that section
are taken entirely BY surprise and terribly
frightened Hindman on the other side of the
river with his whole force, was unable or un-
willing to attack us
The pathway to the Arkansas river has now
been opened. and if the gunbosts will open the
