One hundred fifty years ago, on November 1, 1864, good news for the Union from the Mississippi River: HEADQUARTERS NINETEENTH ARMY CORPS, Mouth of White River, Ark., November 1, 1864--12 m. Maj. Gen. F. STEELE, Commanding Department of Arkansas: GENERAL: Colonel Crebs has just returned from a mounted reconnaissance of several days duration in vicinity of Gaines Landing, Columbia, Cypress Bend, &c. The information forwarded to you a few days since from Colonel Crebs is not changed by his subsequent scouts. His opinion is that no crossing the Mississippi in force is being attempted by the rebels, and that if they are moving at all it is to threaten or attack the line of the Arkansas. I send you the latest telegrams from Missouri, which are highly gratifying. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. J. REYNOLDS, Major-General.
