A proposition. --A telegraphic dispatch from Montgomery says that Gen. Reseau and Col. Ben. McCulloch propose to the President and Cabinet of the Confederate States to proceed as soon as possible to Washington with a force of 25,000 men, who will meet there according to a concerted plan, and take Winfield Scott and Lincoln prisoners. Col. McCulloch has already 10,000 men with arms and hearts sufficient. A proposition. --A telegraphic dispatch from Montgomery says that Gen. Reseau and Col. Ben.

term, appropriated fifteen thousand dollars to maintain the volunteers and the families of soldiers unprovided for. This is doing finely for a county of the size of ours. The Washington Mountain Rifles passed through this town yesterday, on horseback. This company of Rangers were all mounted on the finest kind of horses, such as are common to the Southwest, which is noted for its excellent horses. Our ladies showed their high appreciation of them in the great number of beautiful bouquets given to them, waving of handkerchiefs, &c. With the motto of Horsce--"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori"--emblazoned on their brow, they march on to victory or death. Mr. Jones, the Captain, if I mistake not, has served under Col. Ben. McCulloch for seven years. Col. Robert C. Allan, a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, and a brother of the Allan at Harper's Ferry, has received the appointment of Major of Volunteers. He is an able lawyer of this place. Hostis Lincolnis.
ral Lyon remarked, if the fire of the State troops had been continued, he must have ordered a retreat. The Federal forces stood their ground and returned the fire; but the State troop were covered by a woodland, and fired from different directions on Lyon's forces. Lyon has now possession of Booneville, and has is sued a proclamation. The State troops are concentrating at a point fifteen or twenty miles West of Booneville, and are organizing and preparing fully for the conflict. Ben. McCulloch, it is stated, is now advancing between Springfield and Tipton, with 10,000 men and 20,000 extra stand of arms.-- Gov. Jackson intends to deal kindly and humanely, not only with any prisoners who may be taken in battle, but with all those citizens of Missouri, whether native or adopted, who have been misled and deceived by the wicked teachings of the enemies of the State and its institutions. Those men who have been forced by want of bread to enter the Federal service have nothing to fe
Condition of Missouri. --It is pretty certain that B. McCulloch is making his way to Missouri to maintain the State-Rights party of that State. A letter from St. Louis, to a Memphis, Tennessee, house, dated the 21st June, gives the following gloomy view of the state of affairs. McCulloch will not arrive too soon. We doubt not Tennessee will come up to the rescue in good time. Kentucky, too, will be on hand: Things are hard here at present, the "Hessians" having full sway. Why donur people send us some troops to help us to clean them out? We have the disposition but not the arms to do it. Large numbers of dead Dutch are arriving here daily from South-Western Missouri, although the fact is denied. It is reported that Ben. McCulloch has been cutting Gratz Brown's regiment to pieces somewhere on the South-West branch of the Pacific railroad. The State troops have had a fight with the Hessians at Boonville — the Missourians to the number of 300 making an attack on a w
sfactory. Mr. Ross had been represented as a quasi-Abolitionist, an enemy to the South, and Heaven knows what more. Capt. Pike found him tractable, gentlemanly, and easy to deal with. It is true he had assumed a position of neutrality in the war that exists, but this is not for the purpose of holding aloof from the South, but to preserve the nationality of his people. He cannot prevent the enlistment of many of the Cherokees in our armies. There are several of them now in Capt. Lewis' company. To-day Capt. P. left on his mission to the Creeks. He will return here at a specified time — say two or three weeks hence. Gen. McCulloch also had an interview with Mr. Ross. I was not present, but suppose it was agreeable to both parties. At least, I hear no complaint on our side. Col. Mark Bean, of Cane Hill, accompanied Capt. Pike to this place, and was present at the conference yesterday. I believe he returns with confidence in the friendly disposition of the Chief.
king them. They then rested for refreshments, which it may be imagined they wanted badly. On the following morning, Ben. McCulloch joined them with 6,000 Rangers, who followed the Federals on Saturday, the result of which had not been ascertained uy of course riddled him. Our State forces were divided, but are all together now, numbering not less than 20,000. McCulloch had 3,500 infantry about 30 miles back in Arkansas, who doubtless have entered the State before now. Our arms, fifty tons in all, are of the very best description — McCulloch brought four fifty-pounders in with him, and said he could knock Springfield to pieces in ten shots. I have no doubt Springfield is taken before now. Up to Sunday only ten of our boys had It is likewise currently reported on our streets, from various notices, that Springfield has actually been taken by McCulloch, and that Seigel is now a prisoner. Some rumors are afloat of a train having been run off the Pacific track last eveni
; stating that General Pillow had just received an express from Gen. Jeff. Thompson, of Missouri, announcing that General Ben. McCulloch had on Wednesday last made an attack on Springfield, and achieved a brilliant victory over the Federal forces, whtrongly fortified at that place under Gen. Lyon. It was represented as a hard fight, and the loss reported at 600 from McCulloch's command, against 900 of the enemy, with many Federal prisoners taken. The further statement is made, that after theiity,) according to the estimate of the St. Louis papers, did not exceed 12,000 men, nearly all of whom were Germans. Gen. McCulloch, as we learn from a gentleman who arrived from his camp a few days since, had 8,000 men under him, encamped in Northwssouri State line. Gen. Pearce was encamped only a few miles west of him with a force of 10,000, which may have joined McCulloch's column, and participated in the attack. We shall await further intelligence regarding this rumor with great inte
Missouri. --From the tenor of the telegraphic dispatches we infer that there is truth in the rumor of McCulloch's victory at Springfield, Mo. The rigid censorship established in St. Louis explains the rerson why we get no reliable news from that quarter. We publish this morning an extract from the Memphis Appeal, giving an account of the fight.
received there from Springfield, but had been suppressed. All telegraph messages go direct to Gen. Fremont's headquarters, where the most absolute censorship is exercised over them. A dispatch, dated at Springfield, Mo., July 29, says: Gen. McCulloch is moving slowly forward. His forces are divided into three columns, the better to subsist by forage. The Federal troops are quietly awaiting McCulloch's approach. Gen. Lyon has officially applauded Zeigle. [This dispatch was probably wriMcCulloch's approach. Gen. Lyon has officially applauded Zeigle. [This dispatch was probably written in St. Louis.] Louisville, Aug. 3.--The St. Louis Democrat, just received, says that Generals Solomon and Zeigle's troops made the first three hundred and fifty miles' travel from Springfield in three days, but does not state under what impulse the time was made. In the course of some remarks about a battle which had occurred, but whether in reference to the battle at Carthage, or to the recently reported one at Springfield, the paper does not state, the editor says: "The repor
Bogus News. --The news of a battle in Missouri, and the defeat of McCulloch's forces, as reported through the Associated Press concern at St. Louis, was doubtless manufactured to revive the drooping spirits of Lincoln's subjects. The Baltimore South pronounces it a "lying Government bulletin." The Northern Associated Press is so prolific of canards that it is difficult to believe anything coming from that source.
