Tho map takes in all that eountry between St. Louis and Jefferson City on the north, and the junction of the Arkansag and Missiesippi rivers on the south, and embraces all those places in Missouri made known to us during the present war, at the same time showing all other objects of note or interest in that part of the State. The roads by which Price’s camp at Spring. flold, during this last campaign, wae reached by the forces under General Davis from Jefferson City, and thoso under the other génerais from Rolla, are plainly laid down. From Springfield the rebels retreated by way of Cassville to the border, over which they passed, and took up @ position at Bentonville. General Curtis soon drove thom from this point, and our troops took possession of the village. As it will doubt- less be interesting, we give our readers a SEETCN OF BENTONVILLE, Bentonville i#.a postal village of Benton county, Arkan- sas, of which county it is also the capital, 1% is located about two hundred and twenty-five miles to the north- wost of Little Rock, the capital of the State, and about twenty-five miles from the northwestern extremity of the same. Benton county bas a large portion of good, arable land within it, and is liberally supplied with ‘water power, Both these qualities are very valuable to a army, and therefore it would be likely that cither body of troops would be anxious to hold the ground. The population of this section of the country had been much increased during the last fow years by immigration, avd, Dut for the troubles caused by tho rebels, might have been © very prosperous county. Pentonville iteelf had, soveral years since, a population of five hun dred porsons, and this was steadily increasing; bat tho passage to and fro of the rebel troops throngh the village has helped to impoverish the few persons who remeined in the place after the commencement of tho troubles in that region. The Union troops now hott possession of the village, and inducements ave held oui fo: the return of the fnumbiiants, who will find that thoy arg better respected by those they call theie iywart than they have been by their co-ratled fond.

SKETCH OP CROSS HOLLOWS. ‘This is now a famous locality, and was selected by the rebel chieftains of Missouri and Arkansas 9s peculiarly adapted to their mode of warfare. It is situated in Benton county, Ark., on the road from Springfield to Fayettoville and Fort Smith, about sixteen miles nor!) of Fayettevilie and eighteen miles south of the line between Missouri and Arkansas. Cross Hollows i eo pamed from the fact that three ra. vines, or “hollows,” in the Arkansas vernacular, iuter- fect at that point, Tho road passes through one of these ravines in a direction nearly due south, This ravine is from seventy-five to, ono hundred feet in depth, and iis width varies from ten to one hundred rods. In somo places’ ft f¥ barely’ wile enough to per mit the péeage of an ordinary wagon, The sidos are abrupt, though not précipiious, and consist of looke earth nviveled with “cobble” stones dnd frayme of broken rock, ‘The length of this ravine i about a mie anda half. ‘fo the north: the approach ts by an abrayt decegot from avnlatens known ar Oak Flatk, a lovet we threo or covered veri aod bh ial iver of woe lena rine. ‘Th vot Midway bs Her and fore Ht arg e, w awh HE WESTERN CAMPAI Still another smaller ravine intersects these with a general course from northwest to southeast. These ra- vines are similar in depth and character, and tho sid all have the same geaeral peculiarities. ‘The radiation of these six chasms forms an equal num. ber of spurr or promontories, all pointing towards a com- mon centro, and varying in height from sixty to one hun- dred feet. A light battery placéd on any of these spurs can pour an enfilading fire thréugh two of the approaches. All these hills are covered with a growth of timber simi- jar to that on the plateau mentioned above. Tho trees are jently seattcred tu permit wagons or fleld guns to Mid¥e among them with little difficulty. There is an unger th of oak brush dense enough to afford partial Pe yent to infantry. At this geagon of the year ny. the dead leates adhere to the bushes, and their simildfity in color to that of the ‘butternut jeans” worn by mgft of the rebel soldiery is very disadvantageous to obr rifféfien in “spotting” the foe. At the point of intersection of tho ravines is & love eléaréd spaco of several acres, in which the winter quar- ters of McIntosh’s rebel infantry were erocted. These hiits were of boards, logs or turf, and completely filled up the cleared area.

SKETOM OP PAYETTEVILLE. Fayetteville was, twelvyo months since, a flourishing post villago of Arkansas, and was also tho capital of ‘Washington county, of that State, It was situated about two hundred miles to the northwest of Little Rock, and was located in an elevated and highly pic- turesque situation. The whole neighborhood abounds with tho finest springs of pure cold water and, as the temperature of the climate is very warm, this desidera- tun is @ blessing that could not be too highly valued. ‘The village at one time was the centre of a very activo trade, and had two large and flouriehing schools—one for each sex. Tho Ozark Institute, which is situated about three miles to the northwest of the village, was a prosperous academy for boys; but whether the rebels have allowed it to stand or not we have not yet received decisive intelligence. The institute was foundod in 1845, and bad stetdily increased ih reputation and finance ever since it was firat establelied, A Iand office of the United States was located “in this village, tn whieh there were awo three handsomo churches and a well built and ®yohitectural ' court hone 4s in’ the caro, of Fenton county, the current of immigration was sotth tronily tow this. tue y Prospeet that the vil jong gaa! to faa miber ef Inteditanie « wi Ee pily GN. The Reported Evacuation of Columbus, Kentucky--The Capture of Fayetteville--Island Mo. 10. the Boston Mountains. Here, for the present, we will leave thom, as the troops are close on their track. On the right hand side of the map we start from St. Louis on the north, and pursue the courke of the Missis- sippi until we reach the well known points of Cape Gi- rardeau, Cairo, Belmont, Columbus and Hickmap. Cape Girardeau has often been desgribed, and repetition here would be useless. Belmont bas been noted for the brave conduct of our troops, too fresh in the memory of our readers to make it necdful that it should bo brought bo- fore them in review at the present time. We will next glance at the other points. COLUMBUS, CAIRO AND TICKMAN. We have already published full sketches of these im- portant points, more particularly that of Columbus, which we gave on the 9th of February, with a map and description of tho fortifications, and other matters of equal interest at the time. Columbus, being evacuated, Joses its interest as a military point of strat '» except in the event of its being made a base of operations for our troops inthe samo mannor that Cajro bas been 80 long held. What may be the plans of our generals we do not deem it prudent to speculate upon, or when known to divulge. Time, the great disposer of evonts, will tell the fale. Tho rebels from Columbus are reported to haye taken up 4 position on ono of the islands in the centre of the Mississippi river. Wo therefore given SKETCH OF ISLAND NO. 10, . This island is situated in the corner of that bend of the Mississippi river which touches the border of Tennesseo, afew miles farther up the river than New Madrid, al- though nearly southwest of that point. It is located about two hundred and forty miles from St. Louis, and nine hundred and fifty miles from New Orleans, Tho ele- vation of the river at this point is about two hundred feet above the level of the delta, at its mouth. Tho average depth of the water at this point is fromninety to one hundred and twenty feet, and the breadth of the stream from mainland to mainland about nine hundred yards. Tho current runs by the island at a moderately fast rate, and with the power of the three rivers—Mississippi, Mis- souri and Ohio—combined. The island is nea” the southern, or what might be termed the eastern, bank of the river, but that, at this point, the stream varies from its southern course and turps abruptly to the north- west, leaving this island in the southern angle of the bend. It is about forty-five miles, by the course of tho river, south of Columbus, and about twenty-six miles from Hickman, It is near Obionyille, SKETCH OF OBIONVILLE. Obionville is not a very important point yet in geogra- phy, further than that it is located in Obion county, which is situated in the northwost extremity of Tonnes fee, whore it borders on Kentucky and Missouri. The ‘Mississippi river passes to the north and to the south of Obionvillo, leaving a land distance between the two waters very inconsiderable, and oasily walked across by a healthy person in Tess than an hour, although the yoynge by water betweon the same points, owing to the bends in the river, is about twenty miles. Tho surface of the surrounding country is nearly fovel. Obionvyitle ix connected by a turnpike road with Columbus, iu Ken. tucky, via Hickman, and with Troy, the capital of tu county.

Harris has sought this place in lieu of any other south of Nashville. It is exactly in the southwestern cor- ner of the State, at a point.where, in @ very short time, if ho should again be compelled to renew his flight, ho could run off into another State altogether, and yet main- tain his nominal power until the last moment. A hard row across the river, aud he and his rebel companions could bo in Arkansas. A few miles down the Mississippi and Tonnossce Railroad, and they are in Mississippi. Memphis may be looked upon as the “jumping off? place of the State; and thus the rebel Governor and his friends rugh to this point, so that if they should again get cornered they may have a place to jump ofat. Mem- phis is four hundred and three miles from St. Louis, and seven hundred and ninety-one miles from New Orleans. Three railroads enter itfrom points east of the Missis- | sippi river, and the one to Madison, on the road to Little Rock, has its depot exactly opposite this city. The other points of the map need not be specially pointed out at present. They will individually develope themselves as our armies merch onward. Until then ‘we will leave the map to tell its own tale. IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTH. Our Baltimore Correspondence. Barrimone, March 1, 1862.

It was understood that Jeff. Davis him- solf, who until recontly had been strongly in fayor of the defensive policy, now declares that the adoption of that policy was a great mistake, and that it would have been better to have invaded Pennsylvania and Ohio intho summer or fall, or even to havo concentrated the whole military force of the confederacy for an attack on Washington immediately after tho battle of Manassas, and that he is now in favor of changing th» military policy of the South, if it can be done. The wrath of the members of Congress is not directed at him, but against Mr. Benjamin, the Secretary of War, and his dismissal is loudly called for. It is declared that his in- competence and imbecility aro such that no successes can attond the Southern arms while he remains in office: It is rumored, indeed, that he has already resigned, in order to avoid being dismiss 1. It is admitted, however, even by the most ardent ad- vocates of the offensivo policy, that the inauguration of that policy at present is entirely impracticable, both from the want of enough troops and because of the pre- sence of such large Union armies in Kentucky and Ten- nessee. Various plans have been suggested for the de- feat and expulsion from the South of the Union armies now in those States, But the undertaking is of such magnitude as to be almost hopeless. A great deal is said about guerrilla warfae, but very little about defeating the Union troops by the strategic operations of regular warfare. It was reported at Richmond, however, that Gen. Al- bert S. Johnston was collecting at Decatur, in Alabama, all the troops which he cculd make ayailable, with the intention of attacking the Union troops, ent ting off their communication with the th, and compolling them to surrender. There were gen- tlemen at Richmond high in the contiten the rebel government who" believed that it in his power to do this. Tt was said that he had at command fully 75,000 troops, splendidiy ¢ wipped a high state of discipline, ani with plenty of cayalr field artillery. All the guns that were at B ywiing Gr Clarkeviile and Nashville have beon s cured, an! either at Decatur or at Stephenson, Tho latter place near the northeast corner of the State of 2 the former is forty miles cast of nese river, and of coarse forty miles : stoambont tin. Thay are both’on the rail-ord ‘votween Mf and Knoxville, It is not likely that the Confederate army will remain at either of these two places fonger than will be necersary to make whotever preparations are noedod for acti¢e and combined move- Tt was understood at Richmond that the forti- at Columbus were being dismant! at a'h tho 'y would be takon down the Mississippi to Memohis , and tho place abandoned. It was stated that tho entire rolling stock on the railrond betweon Columbus asd Mem- phis had been used for several days, sud was still bein rriages and ammo used, in transporting cannon, ga tion from the former to tho latier plies. It was reported, too, that orders had been sent to destroy this railroad as soon as this work should have been accomplished, Ths latter statement may well be doubted, however. It probably aroso from tho fact that a member of the robot Congress from Tennessee had urged upon the revi . tary of War te give such orders, in order to prevent the Union troops from using the road in marching from Co- lumbus towards Memphis. Besides, it was said the iren could be used in building the railroads so much needed further south. There is very little doubt that offorts will ‘be made to take up part of the rails of tho read, anil that all the locomotives and cars will be drawn out of the reach of the Union troops. : ‘The greatest mortification was expressed by the mem- bers of the rebel Congress from Alabama and Tennessee at the recent ‘audacious invasion,” as they call it, of those States by the gunboat expedition up the Tennessee river to Florence. They declare that the alleged mani- festation of Union feeling along tho banks™of that river must have been grossly ted; that many of the old men in Tennessee, and yw in Northern Alabama, are Unionists, the same as the old mon in Kentucky are, but that there are no able-bodied fighting men along that river, or very few at most, and that whatever Union feeling was expressed on that occision was the result of the dictates of fear or prudenec on the part of ‘a population entirely unprepared for resistance, It is stated that the river has since been £0 obstructed at three different points—namely, at Savannah, Decatur and Osceola—that the gunboats cannot again pass the Iiiter point, which is soventy-five miles north of the Alabama State line. A mber of the rebel Congress from Ala- bama left Rich i a week ago, and is now at Florence, attending to this business. It is stated that before Nashville was abandoned ail the public stores were transported to Decatur and Chatta- nooga. ‘Ait ino troops that were at Columbus wero to be con- centrated at Memphis—not for the defence of that place, but to join the column of General Albert 8, Johnston, if he should need them. It was not expected that Memphis would be attacked immediately: Any demonstration to- wards that city would have to be made down the Missis- sippi, and that river is said to be #0 obsirtoted just be- low the Arkansas State line that no vessel can pass. Be- sides, the defences of Memphis, including Forts Wright and Randolph, have been ly strengthened during the last month, and, with the addition of the guns trom Columbus, Memphis will be nearly as strongly fortified as the former place, There is no doubt that tho rebels will make a desperate stand at Memphis, because if that falls: the Mississippt river is open to New Orleans. Meeting of t Sigel Committee. ‘Tho German Sigel Commitee, originally composed of thirty members, held a meoting at Pythagoras Hall Inst night. It will be remembered that under the auspices of this committee a short time ago, the great Ger man Sigel demonstration at the Cooper Institute took place, where a recognition of tho merits of General Sigol ‘aud his promotion to asuporior position were demandedy aud the ill treatment of him on the part of some military jeaders in the West, who wore his superiors, denouncod. ‘A committeo was appointed at the Cooper Institute mags meeting, who proceeded to Washington and there urged upon the government the claims of General Sigel. The object of tho meeting last night was to take into consideration the pro- priety of taking further measures in the promixes. ‘The meeting was organized by Mr. Frederich Kapp, tho President cf the Sigel Committee. Among the prominent members of the committee nt were Messrs, Sigis mund Kaufmann, Julius Brill, gore Weil, Capt. Poter Warmkessel, Sturn, A. Willmann, ank atkl others; aud, after mature deliberation, the committee came, on motion of Mr. Frank, to the conclusion to refrain from any further public proceedings, and not to authorize or participate in any public demonstrations in favor wt General Sigel, on the ground. that such would not only bo useless, but injurious, for certain reasons.
