Major Genera) Curtis has telegraphed to Major Genera! Halleck, General in-Chief, as followe:— Sr. Levis, Jan. 24, 1863. = Govoral Gorman telegraphs from Duval's Bluff, 18th fuet., that, aided Dy three gunboats, he ascended White river to i uv !'s Bluff and Des Arc, taking about 160 Privoners, 1.0 69 uinbinds and about 200 small arms. | The news from Arkansas, a8 gathered from official | pources, is highly Important, a8 well as interesting, St, ‘Charles, Duyal’s Pluff aud Des Arc haye becn taken, and the light draught vessels are over three hundred miles ‘above the mouth of the White river. Lieutenant Com- mander Walke, commanding the De Kalb, captured at Duval’s Blof two cight inch guns, with their earriage® and amunition, two hundred field rifles and three plat” form care, and at Des Arc thirty-nine prisoners and a Quantity of arms.and ammavition. Tho above record is certainly very good, and whep taken im connection with the victory at Fory Hind. man, Arkansas Post, on the Arkansas, ryer, is of the highest importance. Littie Rock, the capital of tho State of Arkansas, is now threateved from the northeast as well @s on the south- east. The progross of the Mississippi flotilla up the White river clears the way for McClernand's army, wo that they are now able to march upon the State capital without being dependent upon the Arkansas river, as Des Are iebut fifty mites from Little Rock. This also opens tho route between Southern Missour! and the Mississippi, Dy way of the White river. The capture of St. Charles, Oo gbo Arkansas river, removes another stumbling block fw tho way of an advance on’ Little Rock up thet stream, ‘Shus, with ap army from Pocahontas coming dowa on the nor{beast, Blunt's army from the Boston Mountains on tbe northwest, and McClernand’s army pushing along up the White and Arkansas rivers, Little Rock must fall, and Arkansas be once more brought under the jurisdiction of We Uvned States authoriticn. SKETCH OF DES ARC. Des Arg is & post village of Prairie county, Arkansas, ‘and was once very thriving asa commercial piace. It is ‘situated on the White river, at about fifty miles from J.it- ‘Wo Rock, in @ northeasterly direction. It is located in ‘We midst of @ rich cotton and corn growing district, and Ihad, previous to the rebellion, a very active trade. The | vivor ie navigable by steamboats from this place to iw mouth at all seasons of the year and in all stages of the water. At one time a great trade used to bedone here to the exportation of cypress, cedar and white oak staves. ‘The village was laid out in 1848, but its population ac- cording tose last census was then far from large. Prai- vie county is situated iu the castern central part of the | fate and contains about 1,060 square miles or 678,400 acres. Jt bounded on the cast by the White river, and eu the north Cypress aud Des Arc bayou. The surface of ‘the country is nearly nevel, diversified by extensive prairio Janda, and by forests which contain the oak, ash, cypress, walnut and cedar. The soil ts generally fertile. Browns- ville is the capit of the county. The population w 1850 was but 2,007, of whom 273 were slaves. In 1860 vhe population bad increased to 8,354,0f whom 2,839 were slaves, showing @ great increase in (he s'ave over the white population inten years. There are no | free pegroes in the county. | SKETUH OF DUVAL’S BLUFF. Daval’s Bluff was, previous to the rebellion, a postal | station of Prairie county, Arkansas, but since that time | Bas been more noted as a location for a rebel camp ang earthwork thap anything else. The bluif is elevated so much above the river that plunging shots could be ‘shrown-on the decks of most of the vessels passing along Abe stream. It was at this place that Colonel Fitch, Ist | summer, captured a rebel camp, and brought down upon | Dimeelf the threatened vengeance of Jef. Davis, if he | shouki -baye-been 0 unfortunate ag* to have beon caught. | Now General Gorman bas iluished in good style what | Colonel Fitch began, and has captured the hogvy guns of | ‘tho defences, as well as ether arms. It will be difficult for ibe rebels again to capture and fortify this bluff. SKETCH OF THE WiITE RIVER. ‘The Whito river is one of the principal streams of Ar- Bausae, Ite course is very peculiar. It is formed first by three streams which rie in the Ozark Mountains and unite afew miles cast of fayetteville, Ark. Is next flows © & northeasterly direction into Missouri, which it Wavorses for about one handred miles, passing jn its eourse Fornyth, noted for General Lyon's victory of Dug Springs, in August, 1861, Jt then returns into Arkan- eas, and pursues @ southeasterly course, receiving into ‘4a bosom soveral smal! streams, until it is joimed vy the waters of she Big Biack river, which is its largest aifiuent, ‘These waters unite near Jacksonport, Jackson county, Ark., and after tho junction is formed the united waters pursue a southerly course, under the name of the White river, antil they commingle with their great father ‘be Mississippi. The “point where the White river ‘alls into the Mississippi is about fiftecn miles ebowe the meuth of the Arkansas river. The whole length of the White river exceeds eight hundrod miles, and it is navigable by steamboats at all seasons from Jacksonport downward, @ distance of three hundred ang | Arty miles, and even for fifty miles further during the | | greater part of the yoar. Very little ice ever appears in Abo White river, certainty not enough to hinder naviga- tion, The country through which !t flows is generally fortile anil adapted to the oultare of Indian corn and oot- ten. Pine forests are found along the banks of the river above Batesville, aud cypress swamps along tho lower | past of. ite course. Five important affiuente, besides ftmall streams, flow into the White river above Jackron- | port,"and they are named the James Fork, Big North Fork, Beyant’a Fork, Little North Fork and Buffalo Fork. | We bave then, after the parent stream passes that place, | the Big Black river, the Little Red river, the Cache river and the Big ereek, all of which fall into the White r.ve before a Joins with the Minsixsipp. | SXRTOW OF ST.

Sivee the surrender of the fort at Arkansas Post—Fort Hindman by name—nothing materiai has ocourred in thie command. On Monday and Tuesday nothing was done beyoud caring for dead and wounded. Oo Wed- Besday a large portion command disembarked, and transferred themselves to the cabins erected by the rebels. These were neatly built, and of great number, being estimated as high as 2,000 by some of our officers, and I should hardly think this an oxaggeration. Baggage and effects of every kind were changed from the trans. Porta; but scarcely had this been done when orders were yocelved to re-embark at once, preparatory to moving to. wards a new fleld of operations. General Sherman’s corps embarked the same night, and the next day proceeded down the Arkausas river, to this point, at its mouth. Previous to leaving tha nile Pita of the enomy were levolled, tho fort completely de- stroyed and blown up, and the captured wagous, over a hundred in number, burned. General MoGlernand, with the remaining corps, remained at the post two days longer, and only reached this point last night.

The rebels attacked the bridge guard on the Chattay nooga road, ten miles from the city, today, but were repulsod, with two killed and everal wounded. One o¢ our men was killed. There is a fleet of twenty-two boats at Clarksville and three gunboats, A Jarge mail is on bcard the fleet. It rained all day yesterday and last night, and the river has risen six inches.

Army—Bragg’s Forces Incidents of the Late Battle—Kentucky vs. Kentucky, dc. . ke. The Cumberland river is now in good boating stage and aull rising. Yesterday we had a fleet of twenty-fve steambeats, escorted by four gunboats, arrive from Louis- Ville laden heavily with commissary stores. The rebels, howeer, succeeded im vapturing one of the boats that had just Janded at a woodpile, where they bad been ‘ying in wait for such an opportunity, and before any one of the gunboats could’ come to tho rescye she was fired in several places and was soon destroyed. It will be almost as didicult to keep the river open as it is to preserve the railroad. it is two hundred miles* from here to the mouth ‘of the Cimberland, and the river is in many places quite narrow and com. manded by rocky bluflk, where rebel batteries may be stationed at any moment, completely obtructing the navigation, at léast fora time. The only safety is for | boats to go under the guardianship of guaboats, and even ‘these may de of no avail against a battery planted on some of blufis, from whose summit they can «drop their shot upon the decks of the bouts immediately be- penth them. No news of any importance from the army at Murfrees- boro. Since the great baitle both parties have been lying, comparatively quiet. There is no certainty as to the whereabouts of the rebel army. Some say it is at Shel- byville, others at fullaboma. They — to keep their ow movements well sheitered from observation. The rebels in and about Nashyilie say that the battle will haves w be refought they abandon Middle Tennessce. It is vertain that Bragg’s army is not so demoralized by its late defeat as some of our Rewspaper correspoadeuts would have their credu- Jous readers believe. ‘The result of the battle was against them; but they retired from the field in good order, with all ther artillery and army stores, leaving nothing for us t capture but their wounded and sick who could not bear to be transported. It was a terrible battie. The svidiers on both sides fought with an animosity that bas never deen equalled, ‘The loss was frightiul, aud yet it appears ht again. There 3 idents in the battle of Stone’s river that have not yet seen the light. One which came immediately under my own eye ts worth mentioning. In the rebel charge upon McCook’s right, the rebel Third Kentucky was advaneing full upon one of our loyal Ken tucky regimeuts.

The rebels had fairly got under weigh, when the Ninth Ohio came up on the double quiek, and, charg. ing on their now disordered ranks, succeeded in captur- ing all their prie ners, bes:des taking in return a great many of the rebels. As the late belligerents were con. ducted to the rear they appeared to have forgotten all their late animosity, and were now on the best terms imaginable, laughing and chatting and joking: and, as the were well supplied with whiskey, their canteens re readily handed about from one wo the other, until they ail became ae jolly as possible under the circum. stances. ‘The trophies taken by our troops in this battle are but few—one stand of colors and six or eight pieces of ar- ‘The Sevonty-cighth Vennsy!vauia noted giori- ously in this ite firat battle.

We of the Fifth army corps are still stuck bere in the mud, but we are trying to work our way out of it as fast as possible, Mud is an old enemy of peninsula memory, and we are attacking lim in the old peninsula style, with promise of speedy victory. Our weapons of attack are the axe, the shovel, the pick and pine logs, At daylight this morning vearly the whole available force was con stituted in one grand detail to lay corduroy roads. And right merrily tho mon set themselves at work to accom. pliah their assigned task, and they are working now with right merry vigor, and rapid progress crowns thelr labor. It is an exciting as well as animated spectacle, Submis sively the woods bow their heads benesth the sturdy strokes of the axemen, deep excavations and filled up mo, rasses follow the path of the picks and shovels, bridges Spring into being as i( vader the touch of seme talismanic wand, and, crowning all, roods of easy travelled road, as if the profyet of the same magic influence, take the place of impassablegnud. As I understand it, corduroy roads have been ordered to be built the whole distance from our old camping ground to the Rappahannosk, | being necessary to do eo to accomplish the double purposes of bringing supplies to us and making further advance. An idea of the depth of the mud may be gathored from the fact that bat two batteries ef this cerps—Captain Hazlett’s Fifth United States artillery and Captaiu Waterman's Firat Rhode Island—have beon got in pori- tion near the river, and these were only got there by attacling sixteen horses to each piece, and one hundred men, who, with ropes, aided in drawing them along.
