Dallas herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1849-1873, 1863-05-13
FROM THE NORTH.

By the Nor thern mail We have the Little
Herald of the Sth inst. The Democrat says
that the enemy have all left North Western
Arkansas, and had retreated to Cassville,
Mo-, with orders, if necessary, to fall back
still further TO Springfield or Rolla. Some
twenty of the marauding Yankees, who have
been ravaging the country and numbering
the Southern citizens of Green county, had
been captured and sent to Little Rock. If
they get their just dues they will all be
hung. The Democrat also has rumor that
Helena had been evacuated and eur troops
had been into the town, but the report lacks
confirmation. 1t also has a federal account
of Gen. Price invading southeast Missouri,
which may or may not be true.
We find in the Camden Herald some very
late dispatches from East of the Mississippi
