ion of Missourians to the cause of their country-showing, as heretofore, that they are always among the first in the breach, and the last to leave it. I am indebted to my Aids, Captain Edwards and Lieutenant Chesnut for the prompt and untiring energy with which they assisted me in the engagement. Major Monroe, my brigade Quartermaster, and Major Ruthven, my brigade Commissary, deserve great praise for the activity with which they discharged the duties of their respective departments. Chief Surgeon Bear, with the regimental surgeons and their assistants, were on the field, and, by their prompt professional attention to the wounded, saved many valuable lives. A report in detail of the killed, wounded and missing, will be forwarded at an early day to the proper department. I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, M. M. Parsons, Brigadier-General, commanding. Official: Thomas L. Snead, Major and A. A. G. Report of General McRae. headquarters McRae's brigade, July 14,

our life, and will be while a Federal army occupies our towns. Unless we are prepared to see this city and this country perish, we must unite our strength and close our ranks. The false White League is a creation of the President's private cabinet. You think that much of this trouble is excited by the Government in order to favour General Grant's campaign for a third term? For nothing else. These hubbubs in Vicksburg and New Orleans suit his game. If Billy Ross were President, and Bear's Paw his Secretary of War, you would hear of no Pin Leagues, Light Horse and Mourning Bands; but you would have daily articles and monthly messages on Negro misdeeds in Caddo and White encroachments on Red River. When we have a Democratic President in office, you will hear more of the Black League than of the White. The Black League is an actual fact? There is a Black League in every Negro village and every Negro barrack. You can hardly doubt that there is a Black League in Missi

storm of grape that swept as if on blasts of a hurricane among the trees. Lieutenant-Colonel Canfield, commanding the Seventy-Second Ohio, was mortally wounded, and borne dying from the field. Colonel Sullivan, of the Forty-eighth Ohio was wounded, but continued at the head of his men. Company officers fell and were carried away from their men. At one of our wavering retreats, the rebels, by a sudden dash forward, had taken part of Waterhouse's battery, which McClernand had sent them over. Bear's battery, too, was taken, and Taylor's Chicago Light Artillery was so terribly pounded as to be forced to retire with heavy loss. As the troops gave way they came out from the open woods into old fields, completely raked by the enemy's fire. For them all was lost, and away went Buckner's and Hildebrand's brigades, Ohioan and Illinoisans together, to the rear and right, in such order as they might. McDowell's brigade had fallen back less slowly than its two compliant of the same divisi

A negro fellow named Harrison, slave of Major Archer, charged with having a pair of shoes and a horse collar in his possession supposed to have been stolen, proved his claim to the articles in dispute and was discharged. Lizzie, slave of Julins Bear, was charged with stealing $3,000 in Confederate money from her master. Mr. Bear, upon missing his money on Monday last, traced the robbery to Lizzie; and when he accosted her about it, she owned up to her guilt. A part of the money she accounted for and restored it to him, but the larger portion of it is still unrecovered; and, in order to prosecute further inquiries, the case was continued. James Donnan, charged with drunkenness and lying in the market, was discharged with an admonition. The case against Belia McCarthy and Ellen Whalen, charged with stealin
