ARKANSAS INTELLIGENCE.—We have the Little
Rock Journal of the 7th. It asserts that the prevailing impression that there
are but 600 volunteers stationed at Pocahontas, is incorrect. There is a
regiment of cavalry under Borland, a regiment of infantry, under McCarver, and
a battalion of infantry under Desha—making a force of near 2000.
Two
keelboats bad arrived at Little Rock with large cargoes of army stores, tents,
etc, for Jones' Missouri legion.
Another
regiment of Arkansas troops has just been formed at Camden, and J. M. Gee, late
of Borland's cavalry, has been elected colonel. Maj. Ried has also just
organized a battalion of cavalry in Dallas county. Both commands' will leave in
a few days for Kentucky.
