r-General Fremont, the State authorities will doubtless afford him an early opportunity of determining whether the war is hereafter to be conducted by his forces and partisans in accordance with civilized usages. The shooting of women and children, the firing into the windows of a crowded court of justice, at St. Louis, the cowardly acts of the Lincoln soldiery towards such respectable and patriotic citizens as Alexander Kayser and A. W. Simpson, the arbitrary arrests of ex-Senator Green, Mr. Knott, Mr. Bass, and other distinguished citizens, the murder of Dr. Palmer, the summary shooting of unarmed men in North Missouri, without the form even of drum-head court-martial, and many other transactions sanctioned or left unpunished by General Fremont's predecessors, are barbarities which would disgrace even Camanches. If like acts cannot hereafter be prevented by motives of humanity, considerations of an enlightened military policy may be awakened in him by the retaliation which, in sub

while in all relations of his life he had borne a high and honorable name. Captain Ambrose Scarborough, of Company C, though written as among the killed in the battle, fell on the afternoon preceding while leading a reconnoitering party. A native also of Montgomery county, his career had been alike honorable in peace and war. The officers wounded in the battle were, Lieutenant-Colonel R. D. Johnston, Captain William Johnston, Captain I. J. Young, Lieutenant McDonald. Lieutenants Luria and Knott, both of Granville, were killed. The killed of privates and non-commissioned officers numbered thirty-five, while seventy-eight was the number of the same ranks wounded. These figures are taken from Moore's Roster, and we believe, are about the actual casualties. Lieutenant-Colonel Johnston, was wounded in the arm, face and neck, had his horse killed under him, and was shot down within fifty feet of where the breastworks and artillery were. From divers causes, sickness mainly, the regime

At 9 o'clock I received the following dispatch: "Lebanon Junction, July 4th. --To Knott, Ag't.

soners in Gen. Taylor's hands. Among these are Lieut.- Col. Guess, of the 31st, and Adjutant Howard, of the 7th Texas. The supposed reason for this exchange is, that Gen. Taylor has captured some of the Yankee pets, whom they wish to recover--Col. Knott for one, son of Captain Knott, of Banks's staff. All these exchanged prisoners belong to the Trans Mississippi department. Col.

All these exchanged prisoners belong to the Trans Mississippi department. Col. Guess was captured at Morganza, after the fight, by some Yankee stragglers, he having gone upon the field to seek for the body of a friend whom he supposed to be killed. The pre-occupation of our space obliges us to omit, for the present at least, many interesting matters gathered in our conversation with Col. Reid, but he would not excuse us if we failed to notice the unflinching patriotism and untiring devotion to the wants of the suffering prisoners of the New Orleans ladies. Their spirit is unsubdued, and it is their glory that they — the only foes that Butler ever dared encounter — defeated the B

two or three miles we came upon the enemy, numbering 1,000 infantry, who were drawn up in line of battle in rear of an immense wagon train, numbering one hundred and seven. The dismounted sharpshooters were drawn up in battle order in front of the enemy's line, and the artillery put in position, and opened upon them at short range, the shots of which were received with cheers and laughter, it not being effective. The column of about three hundred sharpshooters, under the command of Major Knott, was moved forward amid a tremendous volley of musketry; but, fearless and undaunted, they moved on, dealing death and destruction to their toes, and soon they had the satisfaction of seeing the enemy's lines give way, and a moment later they were fleeing promiscuously, in every direction. The battle was fought, the victory won, and the train was captured. It was a rich prize — nearly one hundred wagons, well loaded with corn, oats, bacon, rice, flour, beans, sugar, coffee, molasses, pi
