and correspondence. The enemy had two killed and several wounded. After retreating 40 miles from Forsyth, on the White river, Buck attacked them at daylight on the morning of the 4th, and killed three of them, wounded seven, and captured 25 horses, 20 guns, most of the clothing and saddles of the men, with 200 letters, and the original authority from the War Department of the Confederate States authorizing Col. Lawther to organize a regiment of partisan rangers for service in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois. Coffee, Hughes and Tracey are making strong efforts to get a foisting in the State, but the activity of our troops has so far prevented it. The citizens are being rapidly enrolled in the State militia. Thirty-five companies have already been organized, 15 of which have been armed, and are now chasing guerillas and assisting our troops to maintain quiet. There is an excited state of feeling, and "death to the guerillas" is the motto. Seven guerillas were

to look after the missing passengers. A dispatch states that the ship's papers were lost. The New Cofederate steam ram Fingal--the Yankees in great Trepidation. The Federal forces at Hilton Head, South Carolina, have been recently thrown into a perfect fever of excitement on account of the completion of, and anticipated attack from, the new Confederate steam ram Fingal. Instead of anticipating a life of ease and indolence the summer through, both the land and naval forces at Port Royal are in momentary expectation of an exchange of compliments with this new and unsurpassed specimen of Southern enterprise. From the Hilton Head correspondence of the New York Herald, under date August 2, we extract the following: The note of alarm has been sounded. Unless some Monitor comes to our succor, the fair weather yachts now reposing on the placid bosom of Port Royal bay have before them an excellent opportunity of learning what it is to be blown out of the water. The rebels

that moment such preparations as we have been able to make for a proper reception have been in progress. The heaviest of our transport steamers have been placed under the orders of Admiral Dupont. Gunboats have been stationed at each approach, and new signal lines have placed them in instant communication with headquarters. We shall know when the ram passes Pulaski what direction she takes, and what her evident purpose is, long before we see her. Meanwhile the rebels are concentrating at Bluffton, at Hardeesville, and at Grahamsville. It is apparently their plan first to destroy our fleet, and then to move the Fingal around to Seabrook, and there cover the landing of their forces. How the Admiral proposes to meet the Fingal it is not proper for me to reveal. It is sufficient for me to state that he believes at once in the impregnable nature of the craft, and in the reckless daring of her commander. Whether — in the event of her advent — he will remain on board the rudderless

ly enrolled in the State militia. Thirty-five companies have already been organized, 15 of which have been armed, and are now chasing guerillas and assisting our troops to maintain quiet. There is an excited state of feeling, and "death to the guerillas" is the motto. Seven guerillas were hung in one day by a party of citizens, who joined together for a fox chase. Hudson, Mo., Aug. 7.--Colonel McNeill's forces came up with parties of guerrillas a few miles northeast of Kirksville, in Adair county, yesterday morning, and followed them skirmishing into the town, where a general fight ensued, in which the rebels lost 150 killed, forty wagons of supplies, and ten wagon loads of arms. Porter's forces are scattered. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 8.--General Merrill, during active operations against guerrillas in the northeast, will call able bodied loyal men to his assistance, and subsist his command off the Secessionists.

h, we obtain the following account of the death of the Federal Gen. Robert L. McCook: The city is in a perfect uproar of excitement over the details of the death of the brave Gen. Robert L. McCook, of Ohio. His remains arrived in town to-night, and are now lying at the Commercial Hotel. I write this at midnight, and therefore am unable to send you as full particulars as I could wish. On Tuesday last Gen. Robert L. McCook, who was at the time very sick, was in an ambulance near Salem, Ala., on his way to his brigade. The ambulance was traveling over the usual military road, and, about ten o'clock in the morning, it arrived at a plantation where there was an abundance of water. After refreshing themselves they passed on with the wounded General. Intelligence of his whereabouts and condition was quickly spread, it is supposed; for before the ambulance had proceeded three miles the driver discovered that he was pursued by guerrillas. It was impossible to think of fligh

anding upon what charges and information, and the reason why Mrs. Mitchell had been subjected to the terror and humiliation of an arrest in a foreign State, when alone, instead of at home, where she could always be found, if she had committed any offence against the Government. The Provost Marshal replies that he was not officially instrumental in the matter. Mrs. Mitchell is therefore completely exonerated. Defeat of a guerrilla party. Chicago, August 8. --A dispatch from Trenton, Tenn., says that Captain Peck, with forty-three men of the Sixth Illinois cavalry, sent against Faulkner's cavalry, who have been committing depredations in the vicinity of Humboldt, surprised them while resting sleeping, five miles east of Dyersville, yesterday. Thirty rebels were killed, 55 horses and a great portion of their arms were taken. Most of those who escaped were without arms or clothes. Seven Unionists were wounded; two seriously. Miscellaneous.

le, and at Grahamsville. It is apparently their plan first to destroy our fleet, and then to move the Fingal around to Seabrook, and there cover the landing of their forces. How the Admiral proposes to meet the Fingal it is not proper for me to reveal. It is sufficient for me to state that he believes at once in the impregnable nature of the craft, and in the reckless daring of her commander. Whether — in the event of her advent — he will remain on board the rudderless, helpless old Vermont, which at present is his flag ship, or betake himself to some one of the steamers in port, I do not know. I do know he thinks that unless some other means than those now at his disposal are supplied there is dire disaster in store for him. To-night every transport has its fires lighted and steam ready; all are lying on spring cables, ready to move at a moment's notice. All civilians have been placed on shore, and to each man remaining on board has been given a life preserver. The gu

The belief that the rebels had now got their army up to the largest possible number, and were so exhausted that such a force as we could now bring into the field would utterly crush the rebellion. From Missouri — defeat of guerrilla parties — summary execution by citizens. Springfield, Mo., Aug. 7. --At daylight on the morning of the 2d Colonel Lawther, with a band of 125 rebels, attacked Captain Buck's command of 75 Federals at Ozark. Captain Buck, having been apprised of the meditated attack, fired and abandoned his tents and withdrew to the brush; soon after which the enemy rode into the light of the burning camp and called upon our men to surrender. Buck responded with a volley of musket balls, and emptied several saddles, when the rebels broke and run, losing most of their arms and portfolio containing the muster rolls and correspondence. The enemy had two killed and several wounded. After retreating 40 miles

The news which we obtain from Northern papers to the 9th inst., will be found interesting.--The late action of the Federal Adminisemain at home till the draft is filled. From McClellan's army we have little of interest. The latest dispatches represent his forces as having withdrawn from Malvern Hill. From the New York Herald's army correspondence we have the following, under date of "Harrison's Landing, August 7 P. M.:" The force under General Hooker, which went to Malvern Hill yesterday morning for a reconnaissance and a fight, has just returned to camp in good health and fine spirits. They got no sleep to speak of last night, as the preparations for the march homeward commenced about the time when the soldiers had laid down to rest. General Hooker had made preparations f
