Camp Pea Ridge, Arkansas, March 15, 1862. To the Officers and Soldiers of the First and Second Divisions: After so many hardships and sufferings of this war in the West, a great and decisive victory has, for the first time, been attained, and the army of the enemy overwhelmed and perfectly routed. The rebellious flag of the confederate States lies in the dust, and the same men who had organized armed rebellion at Camp Jackson, Maysville and Fayetteville — who have fought against us at Boonville, Carthage and Wilson's Creek, at Lexington and Milford, have paid the penalty of their seditious work with their lives, or are seeking refuge behind the Boston Mountains and the shores of the Arkansas River. The last days were hard, but triumphant. Surrounded and pressed upon all sides by an enterprising, desperate and greedy enemy — by the Missouri and Arkansas mountaineer, the Texas ranger, the finest regiment of Louisiana troops, and even the savage Indian--almost without food, slee

when you is about, we is. --The Booneville correspondent of the Cincinnati Daily Commercial writes: These Missouri niggers know a great deal more than the white folks give them credit for, and whether Missouri goes for the confederacy or the Union, her slaves have learned a lesson too much to ever be useful as slaves. I was struck with the apt reply of one of a crowd who came from a big house to the road to see us pass the other day. Says I: Boys, are you all for the Union? Oh! yes, massa, when you's about we is. And when Price comes, you are secesh, are you? Lor, yes, massa, we's good secesh then. Can't allow de white folks to git head niggers in dat way. The darkeys understand the whole question and the game played.

ith four pieces of artillery and some cavalry, occupying a strong position near the town. Our forces advanced at once to the assault, and after a sharp skirmish carried the position in fine style. The enemy left thirty dead on the field, with their tents and baggage, our cavalry pursuing them. The whole affair was very handsome, our regiments charging the battery and their line of infantry at the double-quick. The enemy fled in wild confusion. Some regiments of cavalry sent through to Boonville took possession of the town, tore up the railroad track and destroyed two bridges. We have a good many prisoners, but can't tell how many yet. Our loss is two killed and twelve wounded. John Pope, Major-General. Secretary Scott's despatch, Pittsburgh Landing, May 8, 9 P. M. To Hon E. M.

His movements were made with such boldness and celerity, that they were supposed by the people to be rebel cavalry.

They left behind a splendid silk flag, which showed them to be the Forest cavalry. Now about one week ago our cavalry moved their camp to the rear of the army was answered they were, by Col. Hatch. Says he: How near? Very close; <*>t you see them? Heavens! An't you confederates? Not much. Before they arrived at Boonville, the advanced guard met two lieutenants of Tennessee rebel cavalry. They rode up to our boys, most happy to see them, until they awoke to a realizing sense of t

f, Quantrill. The boys made their way without molestation, until within about twenty miles of Independence, when, passing through the brush, they were halted by five shot-gun armed rebels, who ordered them off their horses and demanded their business. The boys said they were hunting for a horse which had been stolen by some home-guards, and as they had learned, taken through that part of the country. They protested that they were secesh of the right stripe, and lived six miles north of Booneville. They were, however, searched. Finding nothing but a few fishing-hooks which Marsh had in his vest-pocket, and which the rebels appropriated, they were allowed to go on their way. The boys, thinking all safe now, pushed on; but in crossing a neck of woods, about five miles further on, they were again called to a halt by a band of seven men, armed in the regular jayhawking style, who were some fifty yards from them. Marsh, whose wit is ready on all occasions, whispered to his companion t

ill war-whoops of the Indians, the clashing of sabres, and the incessant roar of small arms, converted this remote mountain gorge into a perfect Pandemonium. The enemy gave way, and darkness prevented further pursuit. This ended the battle of Cane Hill. At this writing I have no idea of the loss of either side, and it would be but guesswork to estimate it. Yet it is evidently much smaller than if the battle had been in an open country. The trees would stop the shot and shell frequently before they reached half-way to the enemy. The firing of the enemy was very wild, as is evident from the marks upon the trees, the balls lodging from four to ten feet over our heads. The whole force of the enemy have retreated to Van Buren, and will probably cross the river near there, as they have no forage in that vicinity. We have taken their last hope of subsistence in getting possession of the five flouring mills. This is a greater loss to the rebels than a dozen batteries. Booneville.

mmanding. Report of Colonel Colquitt, commanding brigade, of battle of South Mountain. brigade headquarters, near Bunker Hill, Va., October 13, 1862. Major J. W. Ratchford, Assistant-Adjutant General: sir: Herewith I submit a report of the action of my brigade in the battle of South Mountain, September fourteenth. On the night of September twelfth, I left the camp of the division, with the brigade and Captain Lane's battery, with instructions to occupy the commanding points at Boonville, four miles to the rear. The march, and the unavoidable delay in selecting positions in the dark, consumed most of the night. Early the next morning General Hill arrived. While engaged in making a reconnoissance, he received information that General Stuart, commanding the cavalry in rear, stood in need of support. I was ordered to move at once, with my brigade and the battery of artillery. Proceeding along the turnpike two and a half or three miles, I reached the summit of South Mount
