Incalculable. More than one hundred pieces of or-
dnance, small arms in great numbers, and an im-
mense supply of stores of every description,—upon
the whole we struck the enemy a vi al blow, and, if
followed up, as we doult not will be táe case, as
our whole army as well as the government are im-
pressed with the importance of prompt and vigor-
ous action, the whole power of the loe may be ef-
fectually destroyed before it will be possible for
him to recover from the present stroke.
But we must not relax our efforts—we have a
treacherous, vindictive, and powerful enemy to en-
couoter, and must in consequence push forward our
war preparations with unabated vigor.
Since the above article was in type, we have fur-
ther intelligence by the stage that came through on
yesterday. A passenger reports that McClellan,
who was reported previously as being wounded,
has since died, and that the number of prisoners ta-
ken from the enemy will reach forty thousand.
The same passenger, who is just from the head
•quarters of Gen. Bragg at Tupulo, states that a dis-
patch had been received, which was read by order
oí'Gen. Bragg to the army ou dress parade, that
■Curtis and his entire army in Arkansas had been
captured by oar forces under Iliudman.
and Provost Marshal , are directed to arrest any I
and all deserters that may come within their reach,
and send them to Little Bock by any military force
going to that place or to these Head-Quarters.

Editor Reporter :
In your last issue I notice an order from iiie
District Provost Marshal, in which he restricts the
price oí leather to forty cents. ^ This is as it should
be; but why make this distinction alone as to leath-
er? There are other articles equally important to
the people. Extortianate prices are being made by
the merchauts. For instance, cotton cards are being
sold by a merchant in this place *1 fifteen dollars per
pair! Shoes and other t rticles that families are
compelled to have, are equally high priced. It is
to be hoped that the Provost Marshal will look into

HEADQUARTERS,
TYLER, TEXAS, July 23,1862.
General Order No. 164
L The foregoing order No. 20, from Major Gen-
T. C. Hindman, is published for the information of
•all concerned.,
II. Having been directed to assemble end or-
ganize the Texas troops who are to serve in the
District which Gen. 'Ilindman commands, it is nec-
essary that I adapt my course to his Views, which is
*he more agreeable to me, as 1 fully endorse them.
MI. There are many persons, i learn, engaged
in raising mounted men in Texas. This is a great
interference with the proper .enforcement of the
Conscript law ; and, under thdteircum^tances, det-
rimental to the interest of tbtf service. Hence I
phalli not rccoguise or accept the service of any
troops, unless they have been mi pel toy order of the
Secretary of "War, Gen. Van Dorn, Gen. Hindman,
{Jen. llebert, or myself; and, as tlié troops that go
«to Arkansas must be accepted by, Gen. Hindman
or myself, I respectfully advise texians not to en-
list under any one whose authority does not emo-
líate as above indicated. I might ftdd further, that
acrty bought on credit by peréns who do not
authority as above, may not be paid for by the
Confederate States. i
IV. It is advisable to suspend the raising of
mounted men in Texas for service in Arkansas.
Hence no more mounted men witt be accepted by
me, no matter by what authority:raised, after the
tint day of next month; and all trho are now in
Hervice and who enter it by that time, may expect
to be dismounted at lied River.
V. Gen. Hindman informs me that some of the
Hungers have deserted our cauft in Arkansas.
These must be men from other sates North of us,
who have straggled into Texas an! entered the ser-
vice for plunder or pay. It cannot be that our
people would bo guilty of au actio base and no to-
tally incompltablo with their liUloiy and honor.—
iiut it is immaterial where they are from, and what
(he freUnded otase of their cofres tbey must and
*vflf by ¿n' ft J ají'] All miliary oSicvrj
with alt the others are now enlisted for during the
war. The present Colonels are given, and where
the former Colonel has been suspended, it is indica-
ted, bo as to identify -the regiment. Many of the
regiments were organized for. the war,
and in these the same officers remain in command.
It will be borne in mind that eight of the cavalry
regiments were dismounted some time since, viz :
those of Greer, Stone, Young, Sims, "Whitfield. Locke,
Camp and Crump ; while under a late ord r of Gen.
Hindman, those of Cols. Carter, Wilkes, Gillespie,
Burnett, Bass, Burford, Hawpe, Major Gould and
others, will be dismounted in future.

The following Brigadier Generals have been ap-
pointed from Texas since the war began : 1st, Ben
McCulloch, killed in battle; 2d, Louis T\ Wlgfall,
resigned; 3d, Joseph L. Hogg, died at Corinth:4th,
Hamilton P. Bee; 5th, Henry E. McCulloch. These

, and Louis Hcbert, of Louisiana. Those iu
Arkansas under Brig. Gen. Albei t Rust, of that
State. Those in Virginia under Brig. Gen. John B.
Hood, represented to be acceptable to and worthy of
the brave men he commands. Thys Texas has over
CO regiments in the field, and apparently but two
Brigadier Generals, viz : Henry E. McCulloch and
Hamilton P. Bee. Missouri, casting over three
times as rnanv votes as Texas, according to the best
information, Las not over 4,000 or 5,000 men in the
Confederate service, or about one to where Texas
has thirty-nine, in proportion to population yet in
the face of these remarkable figures, Illustrating the
difference between a patriotic State on tha one hand
and a tory State on the other, Missouri has a Major
General and, it is understood, fjur Brigadier Gen-
erals in the Confederate army. In other words,
Missouri has equivalent to three times as many Gen-
erals as Texas, while Texas has fully nine times as
mauy soldiers as Missouri. Not satisfied with this,
it is said a Missouri General is exceedingly anxious
to be sent West of the Mississippi, to command not
only the Texas but also the Arkansas troops. And
so successful have been the wily arts, letter-writing
and sycophaacy of itinerant Missouri patriots,
(styled iu Arkansas "stragglers and vagrants,")
that some Texians have been gulled into tbe belief
that such is a good egg. TEXIAN.
