as.further Partioulars. From the Memphis Appeal, of the 29th ult., we take the following interesting particulars of the late battle in Arkansas. It will be seen that our army has nothing to blush for in the recent engagement in that States with the Yankees, notwithstanding they outnumbered us, as usual, two to one: We had an interview yesterday with an officer direct from our army in the West, and from him obtained the following interesting details of the battle at Sugar Creek, or Elkhorn. Gen. Price had remained at Springfield until the enemy were in six miles of the town, when he put his army in motion toward the Arkansas line. There was more or less skirmishing between his rear guard and the enemy's advance until he crossed into Arkansas and effected a junction with Van-Dorn and McCulloch. In all these skirmishes, our informant says the Missouri sharp shooters invariably got the best of their pursuers.--Price's object was to draw them down into Arkansas, since Van-

s from his wife, for which he thanks her to the honest sincerity of his German heart, and in which he pledges her that he has put her picture in the best and safest place — to the left pocket of his fur coat — where it rests peaceful and soft on his heart, he tells her, that in consideration of the great pleasure she had conferred upon him by these presents, he has entirely forgiven what he terms her "Curtis Saxeville." It will be recollected that Curtis commanded the Federal forces at Elkhorn, and that division composed a part of that command, and we refer from this generous tender of forgiveness upon the part of the Dutch Captain, that his amiable grow had been guilty of indulging in some, perhaps playful, far arm with reference to the Dutchman's superior. But, so far as this matter is concerned we will permit him to tell his own tale, and quote his own language as used in the letter. "I am only astonished that you did not omit the identical passage, for old Curtis is in

Jacksonport is on White river and Pocahontas about 50 miles north of it on the Big Black fork of white river. It is to be presumed that the gallant General Van-Dorn withdrew his forces to the Arkansas river after the battle of Elkhorn, dropped down the river and ascended the White in steamers. What force is still with Price and Pike, is not known; but doubtless enough to keep Curtis uneasy Pocahontas is about sixty or seventy miles from New Madrid in a direction a little south of west, and Jacksonport about the same distance west of Fort Pillow on the Mississippi. Both of these places are about two hundred miles coastward of the late battle field of Elkhorn in an air line. It is gratifying to know that vigorous operations for the defence of the west bank of the Mississippi are thus initiated.

Evacuation of Corinth by the Federal--news from the North--the Approach to Cincinnati, &c. Mobile, Sept. 10. --The Yankees have evacuated Corinth, burning every house to the ground before they left. They are retreating northward, laying the whole country waste and burning houses. The St. Louis Democrat, of the 3d inst., says that Gen. Blunt is to march from Fort Scott immediately to invade Northwest Arkansas. The Confederates are concentrated at Cross Hollows, near Elkhorn battle field, awaiting his appearance. Quantrell encountered the Union forces at Lamar, killing and wounding 22 men and two officers. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune states the losses in all the battles, including Saturday, at 12,000, and calls Pope a liar for over-est mating his loss. The rebel loss is believed to be less, as they fought under cover. Gen: Banks burned his own baggage train, and destroyed three other trains loaded with supplies. One thousand
