citizens marched to seize it for the State, and it was surrendered upon the demand of Governor Rector. Six of the pieces, (Braggs' battery then taken with the arsenal,) were against him at Springfield, in charge of a company who first styled themselves the "Totten Artillery," in his honor, concurring that the Secessionists had done wrong in dislodging him; but after the confirmation of his treason to the State of his adoption, (he was born at the North.) changed their name, and marched into Missouri, anxious to prove to him that corruption, though coupled with professional skill, would be no match against Southern devotion to the cause of homes and firesides, maintained with pure motives and stout hearts. Capt. Woodruff, of Little Rock, Arkansas, commanded this battery, and with his men, the pick of the city, was resolved to die by his guns rather than surrender them to Totten. Most gloriously have they triumphed in driving back the miscreant to his Black Republican kennel in St. Lo

h his troops like some "infernal machine," ready to explode missiles of destruction in their midst. He is a terror second only to Ben McCulloch. Jeff. is a gallant boy, and has always been noted for impetuous intrepidity. He is a son of the late Capt. Meriwether Thompson, formerly of Culpeper, we believe, who removed in early life to Jefferson county, Va., and in the now noted place, Charlestown, Jeff. was born. For the last fifteen years our friend Jeff. has been a citizen of Missouri, and was at one time Mayor of the flourishing city of St. Joseph's, high up on the Missouri river. When the John Brown raid broke out, Jeff. was among the early arrivals at his native town, Charlestown, and we believe was there when Old John's light was extinguished with the aid of a hempen cord. We know he brought some of the Missouri growth for the benefit of Brown, Stevens, & Co. That Jeff. will now give a good account of himself no one that knows him will doubt, if he can o

ouncement that when Napoleon heard of the battle of Bull Run (Manassas) he resolved to recognize the Confederate Government. The details by this arrival will be looked for with cager anxiety. We have a confirmation of the Federal defeat in Missouri, with a brief statement from Gen. McCulloch in relation to the affair. A telegraphic dispatch from St. Louis informs us that Gen. Pope is making immense preparations to retrieve the disaster, but we think the Lincoln Government is nearly played out in Missouri. The statement that Gen. Siegie's location is unknown at St. Louis, confirms our belief that his command has been captured by Gen. Hardee. The Federal statement of their loss in two regiments, though probably below the truth, would make an aggregate much larger than the Northern papers have yet admitted. The movements of Gen. Lee in Western Virginia seem to be conducted cautiously, yet skillfully; and though nothing is accurately known, it is confidently believed that the

Affairs in Missouri. --We had an interview yesterday with Matt. R. Cullen, Esq., a native of Rs us of the progress of the Southern cause in Missouri is truly cheering. Governor Jackson's policysm, can scarcely find a parallel in history. Missouri will give between 75,000 and 100,000 fightingng their time to take up arms for the South. Missouri, although surrounded by hordes of the enemy, ret session of Congress, for the admission of Missouri into the Confederacy. It is known that the people of Missouri are now contemplating measures to make that State a member of the Confederacy,sponsive to this disposition of the people of Missouri, and to encourage it to a prompt determinatiocommittee, provides for the full admission of Missouri upon an equal footing with the other ConfederGovernment with the authorities and people of Missouri in defending the State against invasion, and reported to be unanimous for the admission of Missouri before the adjournment.

some time past; but as the prospects are becoming exceedingly slim for anything like fighting within a hundred miles of Lynchburg, I have concluded to content myself by returning to my old trade and noting common-place items, and do hereby give up all idea of writing an account of the great battle, and how we whipped the Hessians when they tried to take Lynchburg, as it is now generally conceded by all sensible persons that the Yankees are as near us as they will ever be. The news from Missouri, confirming the brilliant success of our arms in that State, is cheering indeed, and will give great encouragement to our brave soldiers in this State, and inspire them with confidence and spur them on to new deeds of valor, so that we need fear no defeat. The reported suspension of Brownlow's Knoxville Whig is untrue. The old traitor is still publishing that infamous sheet and inculcating his vile teachings as heretofore. It is reported upon what is deemed reliable authority, that B

The battle in Missouri.confirmation of the Southern victory. The Nashville papers of the 17th, received last evening, contain the following: Memphis, August 16.--Special dispatches from Little Rock this morning bring dates from Fort Smith to the 14th. The news of McCullough's victory is fully confirmed. The fight occurred on Saturday, 8 miles south of Springfield. The enemy took the Confederate pickets prisoners and surprised the main body. A bloody and desperate encounter eutenant Weaver, Sergeant Sam. Morton. Maj. Ward, of the Third Regiment, lost his arm, and it is thought he will die. Capt. Stewart's company suffered greatly--thirty or forty of Col. Carroll's regiment was killed. Maj. Wrightman, a gallant Missouri officer, was killed. Siegel's forces were pursued to Springfield. When the messenger left, it was thought McCullough would attack them here. Capt. Blank caught Siegel, but he was rescued. He shot at and thinks wounded him. Col. Sweeney, of t

rs, including chaplains, are coming. More "masked batteries"--the navigation of the Potomac in Peril. Washington, Aug. 17. --The correspondent of the New York Post says that a new Confederate battery, two miles below Aquia Creek, unexpectedly opened on the Pocahontas to-day. No damage was done. This is the fourth new battery erected in this neighborhood, and unless some immediate action is taken prominent naval officers here think that the navigation of the Potomac will cease. The Union men here say that there will be a great Federal victory in Virginia when the next battle occurs, and that it will extinguish "rebellion" in all the Confederate States. [Those Union men who entertain such views ought to obtain prominent places in the next battle.] The Confederates continue the barbarous (?) practice of firing on Federal pickets. News received here from Kansas states that 600 well-armed men have left Howard county to join Gov. Jackson's forces in Missouri.

From Missouri — the Lincoln arms in Kentucky. Louisville, Aug. 17. --We have received no news from St. Louis to-day. The anxiety is intense, and the impression that Gen. Siegel's Federal forces have been cut off is gaining ground. Lack of pointed information as to his position, and the condition of his forces, confirms the suspicion that dispatches relative to his progress were pure fictions. A committee of the citizens of Harrison county, Ky., to-day called on the President of the Covington and Kentucky Railroad Company, and protested against the transportation of Lincoln guns. If such work was continued, the citizens were determined to clear the track. Three cannon and several car-loads of guns and ammunition en route were returned to Covington.

Further from Missouri. St. Louis, Aug. 18. --A soldiers' train, near Palmyra, was fired into on yesterday, and one man was killed and several wounded. Gen. Pope has ordered a levy on mules, horses, and provisions for ten thousand men from St. Louis county; 5,000 from Palmyra was regarded sufficient. Enough soldiers are about Palmyra to control the county, and they are quartered in citizens' houses. Major Sturges has assumed the command of the army 30 miles east of Springfield, and has camped about eight miles South of Rolla. No intelligence yet received of Gen. Siegle's location. The 1st Iowa Regiment is being paid off and discharged. Their loss in the late battle was 30 killed and 134 wounded, and five missing. The Missouri Regiment lost 77 killed, 218 wounded, and 17 missing.
