Federal Reports from Arkansas.

The Cavalier, a camp paper published by the Federal army in Arkansas, dated Jacksonport, May 24, has the following items:

Lieut.-Col. Charles A. Wood, of the eleventh Wisconsin infantry, has been stopping here for some days with our friend the provost marshal. While out in the country, a few days after his arrival here, he was badly poisoned with ivy. Though sorry to part with him, we take pleasure in announcing that he is so far convalescent as to be able to rejoin his regiment, which he has all along been impatient to do.

MURDERED—Private Philander W. Pringle, Co. G, 9th Illinois cavalry, was assassinated by the rebels below Village Creek, in Jackson county, on the 21st of May, 1862. William L. Shepherd, company L, 9th Illinois cavalry, who was severely wounded while on picket guard at Pilot Knob, Mo., by the secessionist, has been discharged from the service. He is crippled for life. Geo. F. Walker, Co. D, shot through the shoulder by the enemy, at Augusta, Ark, May 14th. Elga D. Hekins, killed May 17, near Cotton Plant, Jackson county, Ark., company C.
