ST. LOUIS, [April] 10 [1862].

The Republican correspondent with Gen. Curtis says, from facts learned in camp, another battle between federal and rebel army in that direction is not all that improbable, and that within a short period.

Two counterfeit establishments were overhauled here, at St. Louis, yesterday, and $1000,000 in United States Treasury notes, $10,000 on the State Bank of Indiana, together with complete sets of engraving tools, plates, presses, &c., have been captured, and the guilty parties arrested.  The bills are well executed and calculated to deceive the best judges.
