We reached this point without accident;
but a gunboat will follow us to the mouth Of
White River. Gen. Prentiss ia In most excel

negro regiment, and has another nearly yready.
4 NEGRO RAID.
A few days since, Gen. Prentiss sent ont
forty co1ored soldiers, under white officer.
They went down the river on guuboat, five
miles, and then took to the country. The re-
suits were two hundred aud seyenty-llve ne-
grces, twenty. FIVE bales Of cotton, thirty
horses, forty mules, and twenty-five hundred
ponnds Of bacon. After this, who will say
that colorcd soldiers are Of no value? The
rebel force near this place is estimated at
eight thousand. and as soon as Vicksburg Is
disI oscd OF, they will be cleared out, and t1is
part Of Arkansas put under our rule.
