            The Little Rock Democrat of the 22^d has the following:

            The Texas regiment is expected here within the next few days.

            Earl Van Dorn has been made a major-general, and assigned to the command of Missouri, Texas, and the Indian country and Arkansas south of White river.

            Every where we hear this appointment highly commended.

            We are requested by the auditor, to state that persons having claims against the State, on account of clothing furnished, or other matters connected with the military affairs of the State, should transmit their accounts to the military board, paymaster-general or quartermaster-general.  The military board all that’s all accounts connected with military expenditures, and either orders the auditor to draw his warrant a pond the treasurer, or the paymaster to pay the claim.  Such claims, if sent to the auditor, can only be handed over to the military board for their action, and in the absence of a proper person to receipt for them, maybe mislaid or overlooked.
