Of Gen. Buffers Order, relative to negro
troops in his new Department. 1t is worthy
the unconditional patriotism of the man,
and covers the Whole question Of employ
ing colored troops. It is not simply q
technical military order,which will be fled
away in the Department to accumulate
dust, but a document worthy to rank with
the State papers, containing principles
vital to the existence Of the country, and
recommendations which pertain to the
great question Of human freedom. We
commend it to our readers for careful and

We ere indebted to Dr.. Keller for the fol-
lowing statement of casualties at the battle
of Prairie Grove.
Number of men killed on the field at
Prairie Grove. on the 9Th December, 81.
Number wounded and in hospita 8 ESQ.
Died since from wounds, 62.
About 100 were SO slightly wounded that
they were not prevented from performing
ordinary duty, and never reported them
selves at hospitals.
Federal dead, as counted by DR.. Keller,
on the morning after the battle in going O.
yer the battle field, numbering over five
hundred. Their wounded in and around
their hospital. and those left on the field,
will not fall short of 1000, Of that number
il can be safely estimated from the charac-
ter Of the wounds, that at least one fourth
will die.-Ar&. Dem.
