GOOD NEWS FROM ARKANSAS
Capture of Fayetteville by Gen. Curtis.

Another Haul of Prisoners,
Stores, Baggage, &c.

The Enemy Driven in Confusion Across
the Boston Mountains.

A MURDEROUS REBEL OUTRAGE

St. Louis, Thursday, Feb. 2n.
The following dispatch was sent from headquarters to-day:
To Major-Gen. McClellen, Washington:

Gen. Curtis has taken possession of Fayetteville, Arkansas, capturing a number of prisoners, stores, baggage, &c. The enemy burnt part of the town before leaving. They have crossed Boston Mountain in great confusion. We are now in possession of all their strongholds.

Forty-two officers and men of the Fifth Missouri Cavalry were poisoned at Mud Town by eating poisoned food which the rebels left behind them. The gallant Capt. Delfery died, and Lieut.-Col. Ves Detick and Capt. Schenan have suffered much, but are recovering. The indignation of our soldiers is very great, but they have been restrained from retaliating upon the prisoners of war.

(Signed) H.W. Halleck, Maj. Gen.
