Important News from Arkansas.

HELENA, ARK, March 30, 1854.
Your correspondent, lever on the wing"
few days sojourn, and having just come
into possession of an important item or
two of news, "drOp you a line
learn that General Steele's "Army of
Arkansas which has had it's headquarters
at Little Rock for so long period, has bro
Ken up camp and left overland in south
eriy directiOn-the supposed destination,
Shreveport, on Red river-and there join
General Banks forces, which are destined
for Texas, to put the finishing stroke to the
rebellion there, and thus close up the war
west Of the Mississippi. My information
adds that the troops Of the Army of the
Frontier, which have been operating in the
Indian country, with headquarters at Fort
Smith, have also moved southwardly, and
will unite with Gen. Steele's army before
reaching Red river. These two commands
united will form an army of about q, 600
men, which will swell Banks forces to
something like 10000 or 5O,OO0-an army
which Magruder, Dick Taylor, Price and
Kirby Smith, who are in the neighborhood
OF Shreveport and in Texas, can no more
resist than grove of rotten saplings can
the sweep of a hurricane.
Arkansas being now re-Organized as a
state, will have TO take care Of herself, and
boundaries to do it effectually, If only the
rebels are prevented from crossing into the
State from east of the Mississippi.
The last heard from Admiral Porter's
Meet OF gunboats in Red river, it had passed
above Alexandria, but an uuexpecte low
ness OF water retarded its progress. It il
hoped that the gunboats and loaded trans
ports will be able to reach Shreveport a.
soon as the land force, inasmuch AZ that

From what you have already learned ~

a-Col. Wolford, the Kentucky jackan-
ape who was lately dismissed the service
for a violation of the Articles of War in a
mutinous speech at Lexington, made an
other specific aCopperhead audience at the
same place on Saturday last. Not content
with his easy escape from the severe PEN
atty he deserved, he managed to demon
strate still more distinctly than before that
he was eminently fit to grace gallows.-
The miserable maniac was allowed to
"spread himself to the delight of his mig
ger worshiping" hearers'-rebels at heart,
like him, but studiously careful to avoid
themselves by any overt act
Wolford won't command any more Union
soldiers. He can rave ON as much as he
pleases.
The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1864-04-09

~ At Middletown, Connecticut, last
Friday evening, the Copperheads set fire to
a barn belonging to Union man, in the
hope of breaking up a meeting at which
Richard Busted of New York, and Gov.
Andrews of Massachusetts, were speaking.
The same thing occurred year since, at
the same place, when Miss Dickinson was
addressing an audience. On this last occa-
sion the game failed of its object. The au-
dience went to the fire, saw everything out
of danger, returned with additions, and
went on with the meeting. That is anoth-
er example of the democratic love for
law and order, and respect for the rights Of
property. What q precious set of ours they
are! Isn't it sweet democracy" the
practice?
