WAR NEWS.
• Advices from Camden, Ark. say that
Gen. Steele's army is there. Gen. Thayer
joined Gen. Steele at Elkin's Ferry, on
'the Little Missouri River; Where the
:Rebels were driven from a line of.breast
works commanding . the river bottom . :
`The enetey next stnbd at Prairie de Anna,
:which was fortified with a line of rifle
pits and epaultnentS 'for guns in barbette
Fa mile and • l a half long,Ge't. Steele
flanked their position, and Gen. Price
Iskedadled, after a brisk fight, toward
Washington.'! Gen. Steele pursued the
:Rebels toward Washington, and then sud
denly turned' and pushed for ,Camden.
Price discOvered .his mistake, and started
'for Camden also. A desperate; race.en
:sued, and although heavy skirmishing in-;
-cured all the way. Steele came out!
- victor, and entered the enemy's fortifica.i
.nions unopposed. Camden is strongly I
.fortified, with nine forts. All its approach-1
:os are well guarded, and it eau be held
.against a largely superior force.
J. B. Rorre l rs, Colonel ernbmantling at
'Cape Girardeau, Missouri, reports : "that
detachment of his regiment, stationed
41t. Charleston; Missouri, had o fight with
gaerrillas onl the 19th inst., killing four.
'On the '2oth r t they came upon them in a
liaise, a fight ensued and eight more were
killed. The louse was burned. The en
i.,lled Missouri Militia have killed six
within the last week. No prisoners were
taken. Philip Davis, a desperate guerrilla
-thief, was killed."
The . latest news from the Potomac
:',Army states that the Union troops who
. went the other day to Madison. Court
house, burned the place to ashes. The
reason for the act was not known. De-
Garters (very suspicious authority) say
that Leo has 80,000 men, with 22,000
-effective cavalry: that the men' have sup.;
!plies for ten days distributed to thent
....and that the various railroads are
•
ing up troops day and
r light with all
.speed. _
A dispatch from Cincinnati' states that
a detachment of the 45th- Kentucky, of
Hobson's division, under Capt. Adams
attacked the Rebels in Ikent hill County;i
Ky, , killing 4 and captured 16 men and
'24 , horses. Capt. Adams then, pushed,

MORE REBEL Iits.R.BARITIES.—The

publishes the following account of a, new

4efferson City, Missouri, , under date of
* April 15:

made the poor fellow insensible, and hel

Among other good uses of coal oil, we
see that it is said to be useful, when
mixed with sawdust, . ashes, &c., and put
around fruit trees as a guard against cur
culio. It is a'pretty hard dose for any
body, and we suppose the settlings of the
oil (if any) and the water lamps are
lashed iu, thight afford "something
strong" enough to ''damage' rascals like
curculios. Might fry it anyhow.
The famous oak tree under which
Generals Grant and Pemberton met and
agreed upon terms for the surrender of
Vicksburg, of6he 3d of July last, has

the trunk and' branches, they have bur

campaign "in Virginia, with, the _remark
that though Grant has heretofore been
successful in beating the rebel, generals,
he has never yet encountered General Lee.

HE DOESN'T Cd3IE INTO COURT.—
Juike : Barnard having become offended
at certain editorial liberties taken with
his ermine by Iforace Greeley, in the
N. Y. Tribune, summoned the Philos
opher to appear on-Wednesday and show
!cause why he should not be punished for
I conteMpt of _court. The court met pur
suant to adjournment, Judge Barnard
on the Bench. A large crowd, prunipted
by curiosity,. filled the court-room, eager
to witness the anticipated proceeding,
hilt all were doomed to disappointment, !
from Judge to gazer,—Horaca didn't ap
.pear. He had too much self-respect to
come personally before the bar or a trib
unal that considered itself contemptibley..
and hence stayed away, 'and permitted'
I. T. 'Williams, esq., to appear-for him.
This did not realize the - expectations of
the court, and the ease was held open
until Monday next, to give Mr. Gre.eley
an opportunity to make response to
certain interrogatories which the Judge
deemed it to be his duty to propound, l !
touching the guilt of the man who h o lds
his court in contempt. What Ilorhee
will do under these circumstances remains
to be seen.' We rather think he will

A New Ydrk contemporary says the
Secretary of the Navy-, has ordered one
war vessel to be prepared fof the purpose
of testing the expel-tine nt of substituting
petroleum oil for . coal. A cimmission
appointed by the secretary some months
since to examine this subject thoroughly,
have so far become satisfied that oil can
be used for fael, at less than half the ex
pense of coal, that they have reedin,
mended the secretary to have the experi
ment made for sea navigation. Should
the result be favorable for the use of oil,
it may reduce the consumption of coal to
a point that will make it cheaper to the
consumer than it has ever before been
known in the United States.
In Rhode Island oil has been substi
tuted for coal - in one of the lar g est man
ufacturing establishments and at lessthan
half the cost of coal. Many of the large
mills are inten)ding to alter, so as to make,
steam by oil instead of coal. As this'
now'appears no one can foresee to what
extent ehe consumption of coal will be
reduced or how low the price may go.
In the Coles county (Illinois) Rebell-1

and murder, the circumstances not being
regarded as such as to justify a military
trial, or a trial for treason in the United
States Courts. The Fifty-fourth Regi.: l

of attack, and five of whom 'were killed,

A curious murder case is on trial at
Haverhill, N. H. A man named Thonas
Dyer is indicted for the murder of an En
field Shaker, known as Elder Dyer, and
his counsel admits the killing, but claims
that the prisoner was a religious enthu•
stast, and was insane to the, extent that
he Was not accountable for his acts. He
was regarded as insane while in the army.
Several' witnesses were introduced who
testified to Dyers laughing and talking
boisterously to himself; to his going
through the manual of arms with his ho,e
when at work by himself in the field ;
and, further, that he was frequently ea-
cited about the Shakers keeping his;
children..

"We found several points on the slope,
where boulders and flat stertes had been
so kid as to form a bed, hollolvied sightly
in the middle. Sometimes the stones
were laid in an excavation deep enough
to shelter front the winds. The width of
the beds was the length of a man. They
were long enough to receive fifteen for
twenty persons. In these paved or boWl
dered couJhes huge fires were built. The
wood consumed. the coals and ashes were

the shivering soldiers disposed themselves
for sleep. 1
