it is quite unsafe to venture. Some few days
since two of the men went a short distance
from the line to pick berries, and as the boys
here would say, "were gobbled up" and
nothing but the presence of our troops hold
the rebel sentiment in check. large pro-
portion of the effective men of Little Rock
are in the rebel army, and their better-halves

The city of Little Rock is quite pretty,
some 1000 inhabitants, and some fine, state
ly mansions, gardens and parks, indicating
once place of wealth and pride, but, by the
ravages of war, her glory has departed. The
native timber, oak and pine, with many
choice varieties of other chimes, surround the
dwellings and ornament the streets. The
capitol building is quite inferior. The best
building in the State is the st. Johns Col
lege, now occupied as a hospital by our sick.
That, with the additions put on, is large in
stitution. There are some 700 sick soldiers
in it now.
The weather has been very hot until with
in few days past. 1t is now cool and pleas
ant, though quite dry.

bring two shillings, and are scarce at that.

the city and its surroundings.

the fort with his command, but having acci

get off the field. He however held possession
of the ground for several hours, and only
surrendering when all hope of escape was
gone. Some two hundred men, both black
and white, were with him at the time. Near
ly all of Gen. Bartlett's staff were captured
at the same time. Col Marshall, who was
commanding the I'd brigade of this division
was also taken prisoner with several of his
staff; also, Col. Wild, of the 56th Massachu-

Gould, of the 59th Massachusetts lost leg /;
Major Buxton of the 10th New York also
lost a leg; It. Col. Barney of the I'd Penn
sylvania was wounded; Maj, Prescott of the
57th Massachusetts was killed; Major Ross
of the 31st U. S. (colored) lost leg. This
division, having been a great distance in ad-
vance of the rest of the line, held its position
for several hours, but was finally compelled to
fall back, suffering severely while doing so.
The loss in the fist division was also Sc
vere The latter has 400 in the hospital.
The 18th corps occupied part of the line on
the right, but their loss was not very great.
We took about 250 pisoners, mostly South
Carolinians, and five battle flags.

TREASURY MATTERs.-It is stated in Sec
rotary FEssENDES's appeal to the people that
the Treasury not unfrequently receives mill
lion day. As tax on incomes now rises 2
per cent, and bank tax and license fees be-
gin to come in, there is every prospect that,
as the Secretary says, one million per day in
a short time will be the rule rather than the
exception. The revenue act win, however,
yield an average of million per day for a
year. 1t is not, however, expected that even
three hundred millions is higher estimate
than the authorities have made for the yearly
receipts.

EXEMPTION OF HUNDRED Day MES.-A
Washington dispatch to the New York TYi-
5taae says, the important question as to the
exemption of militia of one hundred days
service from the draft, has been decided at
last, so that an intelligent understanding is
had of the whole matter. Contrary 20 all
advices received from official sources hereto
fore, it now appears that militia in actual ser
vice at the time draft is made, are declared
by a decision by Solicitor WHITING to be ex-
empt from that draft only. If their time of
service expires before the draft is made, they
are liable to be drafted, even if but one day
elapses between the expiration of their term
of enlistment and the time of the draft.
