Advlces from Camden, Ark. say that
Gen. Steele's armv is there. Gen. Thayer
ioiued Gen. Steele at Elkin's Ferry, on
the Little Missouri River, where the
Rebels were driven from line Of breast
works commanding the river bottom.
The enemy next stood at Prairie de Anna,
which was fortified with line Of rifle
pits and epaulments for guns in bar5ette
n mile and half long. Gen. Steele
fauked their position, and Cen Price
'skedadled, after brisk fight, toward
Washington Gen. Steele pursued the
Rebels toward Washington, ard then sud
denly turned and pushed for Camden.
Price discovered his mistake, ard started
for Camden also. \ desperate race en-
sued, and although heavy skirmishlng Oc-
-curred all the way. Steele came out
victor, and entered the enomy's fortilica-
stions unopposed. Camden is strongly
fortified, with uine forts All it's approach
.,cs are we'll guarded, and it can be held
against a largely superior force.
J. B. Rogers, Colonel commanding at
Cape Girardeau, Missouri, reports: "that
"A detachment of his regiment, stationed
ut Charleston, Missouri, had tight with
guerriIlas on the 10Th inst, killing four.
On the Goth they came upon them in a
house, fight enaued and eight more were
killed The house was burned. The en-
rolled Missouri Militia have killed six
within the last week No prisoners were
taken. Philip Davis, a desperate guerrilla
chief was killed"
The latest news from the Potomac
Army states that the Union troops who
went the other day to Madison Court.
house, burned the place to ashes. The
reason for the act was not known. De-
sertcrs (very suspicious authority say
that Lee has $4,000 men, with $4,000
effective cavalry that the men have sup,
plies for ten days distributed to them
and that the various railroads are bring
ing up troops day and night with all
speed.
A dispatch from Cincinnati states that
a detachment of the 45th Kentucky, oi
Hobson's division, under Capt Adams
attacked the Rebels ia Brent Hill County
Ky, killing 4 and captured l6 men and
81 horses. Capt. Adams then, pushed

shedding the blood of Yankee soldiers.
Now the city is doing them homage, and
,oiling to gather means to aid aud com-
fort them.
This world moves onward

MORE REBEL BARBARITIES.-Th
rebel soldiers seem to have an Unsuitable
appetite for deeds which rival in barbarity
the outrages committed by the savages in
Minnesota. The S.. Louis Democrat
publishes the following account IF new
atroclty, furnished by correspondent at
Jefferson City, Missouri, under date of
April IS:
'"On last Tuesday night, the 18th in-
stant, the notorious 6nshwhacking gang
of Shumate and Clark went to the house
of an industrious. hard working German
farmer named Huntz. who lives some
twenty y-fve to thirty miles from the mouth
of Usage rivers and demanded his money.
kuntz had saved some money for the ex-
press purpose of sending for his family
to come over from the old country to his
new home lie stoutly denied having
ANY cash, but the iends not believing
him, or perhaps knowing that he did
have some money, deliberately took down
a wood saw. which was hanging up in the
cabin, aud CIT his left leg three times be-
low aud four times dJoue the knee wih
the sor. Loss of blood, pain and agony
made the poor fellow insensible, and he
was unable to .ell where the money was
concealed. His mangled body was found
next day, life extinct. A boy who lived
with him succeeded in making bis escape,
terror,strickeu, to give the alarm. After
leaving Kuntzs'. the gang went to an
adjoining American farmer, whose name
| was unable to learn. and not succeeding
in their demands for money, they de-
stroyed everything 10 and around the
place, took the man out and literally cut
bis head off All of this is vouched for
by the whole neighborhood"

Among other good uses Of coal oil, We
see that it is said to be useful, when
mixed with sawdust, ashes, &c, and put
around fruit trees as a guard against cur
culio. 1t is pretty hard dose for any
body, and we suppose the settings of the
oil Cif any) and the water lamps are
washed in, might afford something
strong" enough to damage rascals like
cureuios. Might try it anyhow.
