One hundred fifty years ago, on May 3, 1864, news from northwest Arkansas: FAYETTEVILLE, ARK., May 3, 1864-. Lieutenant HUBBARD, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General: One of my best men sends me word that he killed a man last night at Browns Mill, who said that Brown, Cooper, and Adair were concentrating on Spavinaw for an attack on Neosho or some point in Missouri. I sent a dispatch to Major Cosgrove last night. He went to Bentonville, and found Cooper in town with 200 or more men. Major Cosgrove had gone in the direction of Maysville. The rebels have had 2 spies in here within a week that I know of. Your blanks came to hand to-day. We are just sending out a force of 100 men to Cane Hill. H. M. KIDDER, Adjutant.
