Rosecrans (search for this): article 1
m Missouri. Notwithstanding the blazing telegrams of the Yankee press about the defeat of Price, it is extremely doubtful it there has been any reverse to our arms. A simple paragraph in a late Baltimore paper says: "It is rumored that Rosecrans has met with a reverse in Missouri. There is a report abroad in this city that Price, having been joined by his forces from the north side of the Missouri river, had met Rosecrans and defeated him in a general battle. that Shelby and ClarRosecrans and defeated him in a general battle. that Shelby and Clarke had taken Kansas City, at the junction of the Missouri and Kansas rivers. This is a strong position, and completely commands the Missouri river. The Trans-Mississippi. The news from the Trans-Mississippi is encouraging. General Stand Watie, on the 19th ultimo, captured one of the enemy's posts north of the Arkansas river, with two hundred and fifty wagons and one hundred and twenty prisoners. General Magruder is in Arkansas, attending to Steele, and Shelby is on the Arkansas line,
field, and about two hundred of his wounded, too much disabled to be removed. Fifteen hundred stands of small arms were gathered up, with a number of limbers, caissons, wagons, etc., which the enemy had abandoned, showing that his retreat was hurried. It is probable that many wounded were carried off in ambulances. The enemy has fallen back to his original position, and we have re-established our former lines. During the fight of Thursday, three stands of colors were captured by Mahone's old brigade, viz: One by Robert Hatcher, company E, Twelfth Virginia regiment; one by Sergeant Emmit Richardson, company K, of the same command; and the third by a member of the Sixty-first Virginia regiment. About dark on Thursday night, while the fighting was progressing on our right, a small force of the enemy made a bold dash upon our works on the left and succeeded in capturing a portion of them.

About dark on Thursday night, while the fighting was progressing on our right, a small force of the enemy made a bold dash upon our works on the left and succeeded in capturing a portion of them. They also gained possession of one piece of artillery and took prisoners Lieutenant- Colonel Harrison and some twenty or thirty men of the Forty-sixth Virginia regiment. The Petersburg Express gives the following explanation of the affair: "The event occurred about the time of relieving pickets. The night was dark and rainy, and the Yankee pickets requested that firing should cease. The request was acceded to. When our pickets were relieved, the Yankees came in close after them, many representing themselves as deserters, but having their short carbines concealed benea

From the following dispatch of General Lee, received Saturday evening, it will be seen that General Hampton and his brave cavalrymen have made the enemy pay dearly for their encroachments upon his territantry.

On Saturday, all was quiet along the whole line, and all the old lines seem to have been re- established. General Hamtton's operations in the battle south of Petersburg on last Thursday. From the following dispatch of General Lee, received Saturday evening, it will be seen that General Hampton and his brave cavalrymen have made the enemy pay dearly for their encroachments upon his territory last Thursday: --Headquarters Army Northern Virginia, "October 29, 1864. "Hon. James A. Seddon, Secretary of War: "General Hampton followed the enemy on his withdrawal from Rowanty creek, driving his rear guard across and pursuing the cavalry behind the lines of their infantry. "Several hundred prisoners were captured, and the enemy burned some of their caissons and ambulances. "Our lines are re-established. "[Signed] R. E. Lee, General." From the Valley. There was a rumor prevalent yesterday that Brigadier-General Williams, with his cavalry, had met

It will be seen from the following, and the intelligence is peculiarly gratifying, that, notwithstanding all the vaporing bulletins of Sheridan, the fight has not all been taken out of that portion of our cavalry operating in the Shenandoah Valley: Headquarters Army Northern Virginia, "October 29, 1864. "Hon. James. A. Seddon, Secretary of War: "General Early reports that the enemy attacked General Lomax's forces at Milford on the 25th instant with one brigade and two pieces of artillery, and were repulsed. The next day they attacked with two brigades and six pieces of artillery, and were again driven back. "General Lomax reports our loss very slight.

They need not, however, lay this flattering auction to their souls, for Morby knows very well how to foil them; and, indeed, any one who knows the way and uncompromising partisan, will vouch for it, that if Colonel Mosby knew that all who were dear to him were on a train, he would not, on that account, hesitate to attack it, provided he were assured that the good of his country demanded the sacrifice.
