One letter, which revealed the treatment Union men were receiving in Arkansas, I forwarded to _The Herald_.

I reproduce its material portions:-- DOVER, POPE CO., ARKANSAS, _December_ 7, 1861.
MAJOR-GENERAL PRICE: I wish to obtain a situation as surgeon in your army.

* * * Our men over the Boston Mountains are penning and hanging the mountain boys who oppose Southern men.

They have in camp thirty, and in the Burrowville jail seventy-two, and have sent twenty-seven to Little Rock.

We will kill all we get, certain: every one is so many less.
