Advices from Fort Scott to Monday noon
say the rebels under Cooper have been REIN
forced from Gen. Prices army and threaten
Forts Blunt and Smith. Prices force is re-
ported to be strong OF artillery. Quantrell is
with him.
Gen. Blunt goes to Fort Smith with train,
where he will turn the command of the army
OF the frontier over TO Gen. Mcneil and pro-
coed to Leavenworth.
Mcneil and Ewing are In the vicinity of
Bentonylle, Ark.
Brooks with 5000 rebels is marching on
White river near Huntsville and has been
joined by Shelby.
Blunt's train was escorted by force of in
fantry, cavalry and artillery sufficiently strong
to ensure its safety, and Gen. Blunt will offer
Cooper battle ii the opportunity occurs.
Several gentlemen, who arrived from the
army of the Potomac tonight, say that the
firing heard in the direction of Bealton yes
terday has not yet been accounted for, and
express the belief that it involved nothing of
importance.
The artillery wagons recently captured by
the guerrillas near Warrenton contained no
property of value. This is the second daring
and successful raid during the present week
almost in the heart of our camp.
1t is believed the rebels have not pushed
any strong force on this side of the Rappalan-
mock since their grand retreat. Small bodies,
however, remain at the various crossings.
They are circumscrlbed to these positions by
the proximity of our forces to the enemy's
cavalry.

Occupation of BatesritIe, ArL., by Federal
Troops.

New YORK, Oct. %.
A Western paper says intelligence has been
received of the occupation of Batesville, Ark,
by body of troops detached from Gen.
Steele's FORGET at Little Rock. There were 300
or 400 rebel troops in the place at the time,
but they evacuated the Town and fled before
our forces. Batesville is the most important
place in Northwest Arkansas, and its occupa-
ton by our troops will be of material advau
tage in expelling the rebels from that region.
Gen Fish, commanding the district OF South

several times as far as Pecallontas, and will
before long occupy that point permanently.
