A member of Gen.. Price's staff who left
Camden Ark., July '23, says that Price is still
"at Camden with his- infantry, that bis largo
^ % cavalry force is operating on the Mississippi,
Arkansas and White rivers, destroying Yaukoe
.' boats and stores, and that Steele is still cooped
up in Little Rock, where he. is very strongly
fortified. Price docs not intend to fight Steele?
in his entrenchments, bnt will boou compel Uim
to surrender tho place or come out aud .fight
him./
Our gnerxillas are having bverything their
own way in Missouri.
By way of St..Louis, it is announced that
Kirby Smith was supposed to be attempting
to cross to the east side of the Mississippi, but
at what point was either not known or is not
mentioned. Marinadnke, however,' was cross.ing
his men, in small ?quad?, in the ncighbor'
v hood of James Landing. On the 10th ult.??
Shelby who* with his command, was at Searcy,
between Little Rock aud Ratesville, captured
one hundred and eighty of the Tenth Illinois
cavalry. Gen. Oarr was in command of the
Federal troops at Little Rock, whilst .Gens. Leo.
and Gordon, from "Louisiana, were at the
mouth of White lliver with reinforcements for
Gen. Steele.
