Particulars of Recent Movements of General Curtis, ae, &., a. Special Correspondence of the New York Herald. Hrvuxa, Ark., July 12, 1862. ‘The suspense concerning the Union forces in Arkan- ass has at length terminated. After a long and toilsome march from Batesville to reach his supplies and reinforce- ments, General Curtis has succeeded in bringing his army to the Mississippi river at this point. The advance, consisting of twenty-five hundred cavalry, with six mountain howitzers, arrived here at nine o'clock on the forenoon of the 12th, and hailed their glimpse of the ‘waters of the great river with a delight almost equal to that of Hernando de Soto when he first gazed upon its turbid current. The main column is but a few miles back of the town, and it is expected that the entire rear guard will arrive to-day. There need be nofurther anxiety for the safety of those who long ago braved the storm of rebel lead at Pea Ridge, and afterward cheerfully entered upon the arduous toils ofa campaign in the wilds of Arkansas. ORGANIRAT:CN OF THE ARMY. ‘The grand Army of the Southwest consists of three @ivisions, commanded in their numerical order by Briga- Ger Generals Steele, Carr and Osterhaus, the whole ‘under command of Major General Curtis. On the march @ cavalry advance usually preceded the main body, and latterly has been in command of General (, C. Wash. burne, formerly Colonel of the Second Wisconsin cavalry. ‘This was usually about 1,000 strong, and was supported Dy two light howitzers of the pattern so universally popular for service in mountainous regions. Following this cavalry, General Steele’s division ordinarily led ‘the way, followed by the division of General Osterhaus. ‘The reer guard consisted of the division commanded by General Carr—the same veterans who won 20 glorious 8 Bame in the battle of PeaRidge. To state the strength of the atm}, or of any of ite divisions, would be to give eentraband information. I will content myself with saying that x¢ was sufficient to take eare of itself under all emergencies. SrARTING yRoM RAvESYNIE. On the 6th of May, after various unimportant adven. teres in a march from Keetsville, Mo., the army reached Batesville, on the White river, one hundred and ninety miles from Rolla, its nearest point of supply. The long @istance from Batesville to Rella prevented the army from keeping on hand a fall supply of commissary stores, and the troops almost constantly lived en short rations. A delay of considerable length was made here in the hope Of getting provisions, gathered for a few days in advance, wafiicient to subsist the army to Little Rock. Delay did ‘mot diminish the scarcity, ard the bad state of the roads ‘and swollen condition of the streams en the route, added ‘te the want of suitable fare, rendered it impossible to advance upon the Arkansas capital. It was necessary for usto move somewhere, and General Curtis, having ‘that transports laden with supplies were on the way to Jacksonport, decided to ge to that point. Jacksonport i@ at the confluence of White and Black Fivers, twenty-five miles below Batesville and two hun- dred and fifty-eight from the meuth of the former @tream. On the 24th of June we took up eur line of march for Jacksonport and reached it on the second day following. We were obliged to cress Black river, near {aa junction with White river, and for this purpose made @accessful use of a rubber ponteon bridge, constructed under the superintendence of Major Weston, of the ‘Twenty-fourth Missouri infantry. The stream here isa Mttle more than one hundred yards in width, flowing ‘with a deep but sluggish current. No difficulty was ex- perienced in crossing, and the last of the rear guard passed the bridge safely on the evening of the 26th, un- molested by the enemy. ex. corns’ “navy.” While at Batesville General Curtis caused five large Matbosts, with strong decks, to be constructed, with a View to using thom in crossing the river whenever wach a movement might be necessary. When the march oemmenced from Batesville these flatboats wore pre- vided with breastworks of cotton along their sides as Protection from musket and rife balls, and were furnished ‘with sweeps whereby they could be moved and directed Gown the river. They were placed in charge of one com. pany of the Thirteenth Illinois infantry, and started for Jacksonport. As the road from Batesville to Jacksouport does not foliow the river bank, but winds among the hills 8 some distance from (ne stream, this enterprise of de- taching @ small body of infantry was looked upon as quite bazardous. The boats succeeded in descending in misty, and arrived at Jacksonport simultaneously with ‘the main bd4y of the army. SOURCES OF SUPPLY. At Jacksonport General Curtis learned that the boats @ould come no higher up than Clarendon, seventy-five miles below, as there was less than four feet of ‘water in the channel, and most of the boats @rew upwards of fivefect. He had foreseen this difi. @uity before starting from Batesville, and arranged his small stock of provisions to carry him through to the Mississippi., For ten days previous to the departure from Batesville Captain Winslow, the Quartermaster-in Riel of the army, had stored all the supplies received from Rolla, and furnished in their place rations of corn meal and beef, gathered from the country around. With ‘these and other stores procured from the vicinity « sup- ply of three-quarter rations for twenty days was gath- ered and on hand at the time the march commenced. A train of Gfty wagons had been burned a few weeks be- , while on its way to the army, and this joss fell quite heavily upon the troops. Notwithstanding its va- rious privations, the army was never without a plentiful supply of sugar, coffee and salt, though it often suifered for want of hard bread and flour. There was little wheat wear Batesville, but corn wes procured in abundance. ‘Lbe uniform price of the latier staple was Afty cents per bushel. Noone was at any time paid for bis corn: unless be made solemn assurance that he was and had ‘Deen a Union man and subscribed to the oath of allegiance. 16 ie @ singular fact, however, that smong ali the men who had dealings with the quartermaster there was not one who would permit his loyalty to be doubted fora fingle moment. Ail took the oath without the slighest Desitancy. MOVING YROM JACKSONPCRT—BOATS TIRAD TION. Our forces tarried five days at Jacksonport, making ready to proceed down tho banka of the stream. While Shere, General Washburne arrived from Springfield, with ‘she Second Wisconsin cavalry, having been unable to each the army before it started from Batesville. The strength of General Curtis’ command had been from time fe time augumented by the arrival of various small bodies of troops from Missouri, and by inconsideraple rejuforcoments from Kansas, @o that at the time it left Jacksonport it presented fan imposing appearance. On the 2d of July the five flav. oats started down from Jacksonport, manned by Com. pany I, of tho Thirteenth Tlinois infantry, under oom. mand of Captain Wadsworth. They were ordered to pro- ceed to Grand Glazo, tweive miles below, and there await orders before going further. Attho same tim roy took up its line of march by the road through the hills and swamp land cast of the river, not expecting to reach ‘the stream again before arriving at Augusta, thirty-five miles from Jacksonport. The boats reached Grand Glaze in due time, and wers there met by Licutenant Coloney ‘Wood's Sixth Missouri cavalry, with orders to move on to Augusta, After seeing them safely under way Colonel Woud started to rejoiv the main army, but, before pro. eeeding far, shots were heard from the dense Bushes liniug the banks of the river, about a mile below Graug Glave.

The fire of these guerilias was promptly returned; but as the bushes were not searched their loss was not ascertained. Natives in the vicinity reported nineteen of the rebels killed; but their statement seems hardly credible, when we recollect that the rebels were engaged by but» single company of infantry. After this occur- rence the boats moved unmolested to Augusta, where the project of taking them farther down was abandoned. Buch portions of the cargoes as were useful to the army ‘were removed, and the boats and the remainder of their lading committed to the flames. Colonel Wood was fired into on his way back to the army, and lost three of his ‘THE COUNTRY THROUCH WHICH WS PARED. Wo reached Augusta on the Feurth of July, and on our arrival fired «salute in honor of the nation’s indepen d- ence, and enjoyed ourselves as best we could under our adverse circumtances. Tarrying hore for two days, the order was issued for the entire force to move out on the following morning in the direction of Clarendon. The countyy through which the army marched, after leaving Jacksonport, is one of the finest regions of Eastern Ar- kansas, A short distance from the river the bluffs along its banks fall away into low hills and gentle undulations, these becoming less distinct until, at the divide of the ‘St. Francis and White rivers, it becomes an almost un_ broken level. A portion of this flat alluvial country is in many places covered with canebrakes, and is often over. flowed in high water. At such times it becomes an almost impassable succession of swamps and quagmires. At present it is dry and firm, and affords no obstacle to pas. sage save an occasional slough at the crossing of a creek . Interspersed with these lowlands is a series of higher grounds, level, and unbroken by any considerable eleva- tions, These lands are considered excellent for cotton, and until the present year have sent to market « large amount of the textile product. The inhabitants are of the true Arkansas stamp, and walk about clad in the un- pretending butternut of the Southorn rustics, while they display the usual prejudices of the Arkansas natives against all innovations, from the perusal of Webster's spelling book up to the vindication of the national honor. At present their bucolic pursuits are generally limited to the raising of corn and a few other inconsiderable pro- ducts, the Confederate authorities having here, ag eise- where, discouraged the culture of cotton, YRELING AMONG THE NATIVES, In many places along our line of march the houses wore deserted, but the cotton and corn had not been de- stroyed, save in a few instances. The only Union senti- ment manifested was by the negroes, who flocked in jn large numbers whenever they were allowed. Genoral Curtis freed all those who had been used in cutting tim- der to obstruct the roads on our line of march. The whites wore everywhere sullen and uncommunicative. ‘One man at Jacksonport built » high plank fence around his house to keep off the contamination of the Yank ees. MOVING FROM AUGUETA. All things being im readiness, the army meved out on the morning of the 7th iust., the head of the column getting in motion about baif-past throe o'clock. About four miles from town it was found that the enemy had felled timber across the road in order to impede the march, but it was not long before the obstructions were removed. It was well known that the rebels had a con. rable force at Des Arc and Devall’s Bluff, composed mainly of Texas cavairy and Arkansas con- scripts, under command of General Albert Rust. General Curtis Jearned that six thousand of hese rebels were at Des Arc, and would probably march out to give us battle, and was eonsequently carefully watching for any demon. stration upon the line. The obstructions in the road so soon after leaving Augusta gave us warning of the prox. imity of the rebels, and caused a to complete prepara. tions for resisting attack. ORSTACLER IN TTR WAT. About eight A. M. the advance reached the cross. ing of Cuche river, and found a new cause of delay ‘There was no bridge over (he river—which else- where would deserve oniy the name of creek—and tho JW bottom ep eagb gide wag @ poft muck, ia whick the FS rouge ONNJUNCTION MIG)*LAND 7 << ] FA ArRY pan us ue animals sunk girth deep at every step.

A short distance farthe" the road eame to Bayou de Cache, » small slough running inland from the river, with banks simi- lar to those of the stream. Through this fringe of mud deposits the extended lines dragged their slow lengths along, the teams cecasionally miring, and being extricated with the utmost difficulty. Beyond this Slough of Despond the rebels had made another barricade of log obstractions, which again proved a hindrance to our pro. gress. Emerging from this difficulty the advance, cov. sisting of four companies of the Thirty-third Illinois, with four companies from the Eleventh Wisconsin—all under command of Colonel Hovey, of the former regiment— moved cautiously forward, The cavairy bad been drawn in, with the exception of some twelve or fifteen mounted men, who were kept in front as lookouts. J was not deemed proper to have @ large cavalry force exposed in front during the march, where it would be liable to am- buscade, but to hold it in reserve where it would be rea- dy at any moment when needed. SCENE OF THB FIGHT OP 7TH JULY. About two P, M., when five miles from the cross ing of Bayou de Cache, the advance approached the plan. tation of Colonel Hill, an officer of the Confederate army, who was away from home at the time of our visit. At this plantation a read from Des Arc intersects the one over which our army were travelling at nearly right angles, the point of junction being about ten miles from Des Arc and four miles from Cotton Plant, a smal! hamlet in the northern part of St. Francis county. The land around this road erossing is mostly epen timber and cleared patches, though a few clumps of small trees are occasionally seen. The road from Des Are runs nearly due east and west. South of it and west of the maim road the timber is quite dense. Hill’s house is at the southwest angle of the intersection, and his outbuildings are scattered miscellaneously around. North of the Des Arc road is @ cotton gin and press, and near it are two aboriginal mounds, twenty or thirty feet in height. Mr. Hill is now blessed with his third wife, and on the summits of each of these mounds he has located the graves of his first and seeond wives, and surrounded them with afence of white palings. On this side of the road the ground is cleared and there are few irregulari- ties to afford cover to troops. THR ACTION. ‘The mounted men in advance discovered signs of an enemy lurking in the timber and brush on the seuther- ly side of the Des Arc road, and both cast and west of Hill’s house, Word was communicated to the infantry, and the latter deployed for skirmishing, the Thirty-third Tilinote taking the right wing and the Eleventh Wisconsin the left. The eight companies of infantry were less than six hundred strong, and soon found that they were op- posed to fifteen hundred mea drawn up in line of battle. ‘The disparity was in numbers, not in efficiency, for the rebel forces consisted of parts of two raw eavalry regi ments from Texas and portion of a regiment of Arkan eas conscripts as greon as the most verdant troops in the Confederate service. Tho rebels opened fire as our men advanced, and though the conscripts fled early in the fight the Texan cavalry, which had been dismounted for the occasion, stood its ground finely, As our rigbt ap proached the enemy’s left it was received by asudden firefrom the bushes, which caused twoof the Tilinois companies to recoil. The enemy perceived the advan tage gained and pressed forward to improve it, but was received with @ well directed volley of musketry, followed by & discharge of grape from the two steel howitzers accompanying the First Indiana cavalry, whose arrival was most opportune Rapid discharges from these howitzers soon broke the rebel line, and the cavalry completed the disorder and put all the enemy to flight. Some of thom fled along the road in tho direetion we were travelling, while others took the right-angled route towards Des Aro. In adiition to the fifteen hundred rebels thue dispersed, were five thousand who were three or four miles distant, at the crowsing of the Cache river, and who had been unable to got to the east bank of the stream, as the water is there too deep to ford, and the ferry accommodations are ne- cessarily slow. These returned to Des Aro ti evening, and at last accounts were still there, # VOD Up the project of inbercepting Our march, Eo 4 » FORK WASHINGTON ‘PRSULTS O7 THR AFFAIR. The camp was made that night a short distance from the scene of the contest, and our hospital estab- lished at Hill’s house. Our casualties were five killed and thirty-two wounded, most of the latter slightly. Major Glendenin, of the First Indiana cavalry, was seriously, and, it is feared, fatally wounded by a rifle ball in the breast. Captain Sloane, of the Eleventh Wisconsin, was killed while gallantly leading his men. Colonel Hovey states that the the details from his command report that they buried ninety. ‘on of the enemy’s dead. Most of our shots were supposed to have been fs But few of the enemy's wounded fell into our hands: and, in all these cases, lacerations caused by the Minie and Fnfield balls were very severe. A flag of truce approached our lines on the evening after the fight, but for some unexplained reason did not come within. ‘The next day a flag was received and kept in our lines the entire day. It was unnecessary for parties tobe sent from the rebel camp, as the dead had already been buried. REACHING CLARENDON—MOVING 10 HELENA. On the afternoon of the 8th the army moved forward toward Clarendon, having learned that Colonel Fitch was there with supplies. We reached Clarendon on the even- ing of the 9th, deeply chagrined to flod that Colonel Fitch with his transports had departed the evenmg previous with no prospect of returning. There was no alternative left for General Curtis except to move to the nearest point on the Mississippi, and there communicate with the outer world from which we had so long been cut off. The old military road from Helena to Little Rock was selected as the route, and on the morning of the 11th Goneral Wasbburne, with 2,500 cavalry and six mountain howitzers, started from Clarendon to this point, sixty-five miles distant, They made a forced march, and at nine A. M. to day, about twenty eight hours from the time of start- ing, we arrived here, exhausted with our tong ride, Genoral Washburne was accompanied by Captain F. 3. Winslow, Quartormaster-in-Chief of General Curtis’ army, and by Lieut. J. W. Noble, of General Curtis’ staff. These gentiemen go at once to Memphis to procure supplies. The main body of the infantry will be in to-night, and the entire rear guard is expected before dark. SAFRIY OF THR ARMY. The army under Gen. Curtis has now terminated a most arduous campaign. Since leaving Rolla in February jast it has marched upwards of six hundred miles, most of the way through a sparsely settled region, and with bad roads, unbridged streams, and all the difficulties ac company ing locomotion in @ new country. It encountered three times its number at the memorable battle of Pea Ridge, and came forth victorious from a bloody conflict of two days’ duration. Out of all its privations and from all ites surrounding dangers it has emerged triumphant, and well deserves historic honor as the ban- ner corps of the nation’s great army.
