From Gen. Curtis


ST. LOUIS, March 19. – Telegrams from Gen. Curtis state that his loss in killed and wounded at the battle of Pea Ridge was about 1400.  The enemy retreated entirely south of the Boston Mountains.  There are no more troops in Northern Arkansas, except marauders and Pike’s Indians, who will kill and plunder from all indiscriminately.
