    Chicago, April 6--Col. Harrison, commanding at Fayetteville, Ark., telegraphs that Capt. Worthing with two companies of the 1st Arkansas Cavalry, returned from a scout in Carroll county, Ark., having had four skirmishes with the rebels, in which they killed 23 and took 7 prisoners.  Two rebel captains were killed.  Our loss is 1 man wounded.  Col. King, who pursued the rebels who captured the steamer Sam Gaty, succeeded in overtaking them, and after a fight he dispersed them, mortally wounding their chief.
