A small party was left to. guard the four prisoners, and the remainder immediately took up their line of march for the enemy. Of those who thus left Prairie City, Captain Shore's company numbered twenty men, himself included; and Captain Brown had nine men besides himself. They rode towards the Black Jack. Arrived within a mile of it, they left their horses, and two of their men to guard them. They despatched two other messengers to distant points for additional assistance, if it should be needed. The remainder,twenty-six men, all told,--in two divisions, each captain having his own men, marched quietly forward on the

It afforded shelter for his men, and, except by a force coming up the ravine or stream from the timber at Hickory Point, had to be approached over an open prairie, sloping up from the place where the Missourians were posted. When the alarm was sounded, Captain Pate drew up his men in line behind the breastwoCaptain Pate drew up his men in line behind the breastwork of wagons. When they neared the enemy's position, Captain Brown wished Shore to go to the left and get into the ravine below them, while he, with his force, would get into the upper or prairie pxposed, and with no means of shelter near them. Who comes there? What do you want? cried Captain Pate. When I get my men in line, I'll show you, cried the gallant Captain Shore; and, true to h several others, who were also wounded, left their camp by the eastern side and escaped. After Pate's men retreated to the ravine, he endeavored to rally them, and a fire was kept up from the spot

Pate's prisoners and the wounded. While the firing was going on, one of Pate's men got up and swore he would see to the prisoners. A guard had been stationed to watch the three Free State prisoners, the tent in which they were being the most exposed of the camp. This guard was in great trepidation. The prisoners had thrown themselves on the ground, and the trembling guard also lay down, taking care to get the person of Dr. Graham between his own precious carcass and the enemy.

This guard was in great trepidation. The prisoners had thrown themselves on the ground, and the trembling guard also lay down, taking care to get the person of Dr. Graham between his own precious carcass and the enemy. So matters were, when the ruffian to whom I have alluded went to the tent with fierce oaths. Dr. Graham saw him approach with ferocious expression, and, just at that moment, the ruffian raised his pistol, aiming at the Doctor, who gave a spring just as the piece went off, the ball hitting him in the side, and inflicting a flesh wound. Graham sprang into the ditch of the ravine; and, as he did so, received another ball in his hip. He broke from the camp and fled, fifteen pistol shots being fired after h

Captain Pate captured. At this juncture, Frederick Brown, who had been left in charge of the horses, becoming excited by the prolonged firing on both sides, suddenly appeared on the top of the hill, midway between the two divisions of the Free Ste men had no cavalry force in the field, and no men to spare, this prudential policy was very successful. At last Captain Pate sent out his lieutenant and a prisoner with a flag of truce. They walked up the slope together to where the Free State old man, you stay here with me, and let your companion go and bring him out. I will talk with him. Thus summoned, Captain Pate came out; and as he approached Captain Brown, began to say that he was an officer under the United States Marshal, andr.

These men had been treere did you get these arms? asked Colonel S- of Captain Pate. We got them from a friend, was the reply. give you United States arms? In this dilemma, Captain Pate did as many a wise man has done before him — evaurians. This not being exactly a fit story to tell, Pate entered into a disquisition on the general subject oas no replying to this; and the enraged and silenced Pate bit his lip.
