The Brooks side sent out squad last
evening and cut the telegraph wire be-
tween this city and Pine Bluff. The
squad was captured last night by the
BaXterites and are now under guard.
Msior-General Churchill, of the Bax-
ter side, with ten men, was surrounded
last night while coming from the depot
Of the Cairo and Fulton railroad by a
party Of fifty BrOoksites, who were Law
ing in wait TOR them, and captured. Gen
eral Churchill was released a short time
after this, and is to-day in command of
his forces.
Beyond the arrests on both sides there
is no active operations. A little alarm
last night was the occasion of the United
states troops getting out in line and
preparing to prevent trouble. A spirit
OF uneasiness pervades everything, and
news from Washington definitely set
uing the matter in favor of one or the
other Of the parties, is anXiously looked
for by everybody.
General King White, who has charge
Of the Baxter forces at Pine Bluff, hear
ing that party of Brooksites were as
sembled at New Gascony, in Jefferson
county, committing depredations moved
a column of two hundred men down to
that point to-day for the purpose of dis
persing them. A dispatch late tonight
TO General Newton, from Pine Bluff,
says that General White sent forward 8
flag of truce to order the men to dis
perse, but they fired upon the party, and
regular battle ensued, in which nine of
the Brooks party were killed and twenty
wounded. The remainder were taken
prisoners, disarmed, and sent home.
General White reports seven men of his
own command wounded, and three
hsrses killed.

promising young men, were granted Ii
cense to preach the gospel.
Rev. J. Z. Morris and Rev. David
Tuck were employed TO act as evangel-
lists and book agents for the sale of the
