seemed paralyzed for a moment. In the sudden confusion the Confederates rushed forward, killed the artillery horses, and, turning the flanks of the infantry, caused them to fly in the wildest disorder. They rushed into bushes and by-roads, incessantly attacked by large numbers of Arkansas and Texas cavalry. The entire battery was captured; and, in the course of a few minutes, of his twelve hundred men, Sigel had only about three hundred left. He saved these and one of his cannon, Captain Flagg fastened ropes to this gun, and made some of the Confederate prisoners draw it off the field. but lost his regimental flag. Such now composed the entire remnant of Lyon's second column. The composition of Sigel's corps was not well fitted for a trying position. The term of service of the Fifth Missouri had expired, and the engagement to remain eight days longer ended on the day before the battle. The men serving the cannon were taken from the infantry, and were mostly recruits. Ma

General. sir: I have the honor of reporting to you for the information of the Commanding General the result of a scout commanded by me in Marion County, Arkansas. By permission from Captain Flagg, commanding this post, I took command of forty men composed of detachments from companies D, F, G, and H, Second battalion, Fourteenth regiment cavalry Missouri State militia, and on the morning of the ninth instant marched for Lawrence's Mill, a distance of thirty-five miles. I arrived at the mill early in the night, and remained there till noon of the tenth, waiting for forage. During this time I held a consultation with the officers of my command and those of the enrolled militia stationed at the mill, in regard to the direction we should take. It had been my intention to make an expedition into the White River country below Dubuque, where it is

him, and charging considerably in advance of his regiment, was the second man to place his hand upon a piece of the enemy's artillery and claim it as our own. The first man was an officer of the Second Florida, killed soon afterwards, perhaps Captain Flagg. Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor and Major Wilson, of the Second Mississippi battalion, did their whole duty throughout the day, and succeeded in reforming parts of their line of skirmishers into bodies and carrying them into the fight.

shmen won the game. It was the first of President Hill's reforms to abolish this brutal and unseemly custom. The New York game of base-ball, which has since assumed such mammoth proportions, was first introduced in our colleges by Wright and Flagg, of the Class of ‘66; and the first game, which the Cambridge ladies attended, was played on the Delta in May of that year with the Trimountain Club of Boston. Flagg was the finest catcher in New England at that time; and, although he was never Flagg was the finest catcher in New England at that time; and, although he was never chosen captain, he was the most skilful manager of the game. It was he who invented the double-play which can sometimes be accomplished by muffing a flycatch between the bases. He caught without mask or gloves and was several times wounded by the ball. Let us retrace the steps of time and take a look at the old Delta on a bright June evening, when the shadows of the elms are lengthening across the grass. There are from fifty to a hundred students, and perhaps three or four professors, wat

the Dispatch.] Washington, Dec. 20, 1860. Senator Johnson's speech yesterday was the theme of universal praise among the abolitionists at the hotels last night. Southerners execrate it. Johnson is a Homestead bill man. See how certainly agrarianism leads a man to take sides with the abolitionists against his own people. What makes his coercion views more contemptible, is the fact that all the historical statements upon which they were based were collated by a person of the name of Flagg, and it is believed that he wrote the whole thing with his own hand. "Old Joe" Lane's bold and defiant stand against Johnson will not be forgotten by those who witnessed it; nor will Johnson's refusal to allow Southern Senators to correct his misstatements fail to meet its reward.--When men, pretending to be Southern, make such bids for a place in Lincoln's Cabinet, what earthly chance is there of obtaining any concessions from the Republicans? Senator Pugh has the floor to-day. H

yon's command, and drove them back half a mile, taking possession of their camp, which extended westward to the Fayetteville road. Here a terrible fire was poured into his ranks by a regiment he had permitted to advance within a few paces, supposing it was the lows First Regiment. His men, thus taken by surprise, were scattered considerably, and Colonel Solomon's men could not be rallied immediately, consequently General Siegel lost five of his guns, the other being brought away by Captain Flagg, who compelled his prisoners to drag it off the field. Our troops captured about four hundred horses. Our loss is about 200 killed and from six to seven hundred wounded; that of the enemy cannot be less than double ours, their force having moved in large bodies and our artillery playing on them with terrible effect. Lieutenant Colonel Brand, who commanded the Confederate force at Booneville, and since acted as aid to General Price, was taken prisoner. The body of General Lyon
