December 3. Major Bowen's Cavalry were attacked at Salem, Dent Co., Mo., this morning at four o'clock, by three hundred rebels under command of Colonels Freeman and Turner. They charged upon a house in which some of the Federal soldiers were sleeping, killing and wounding fifteen, shooting them through the windows and as they emerged from the house. Major Bowen, whose Headquarters were at the court house, one hundred yards distant, rushed out and rallied his men, when a street fight took place. The Federals charged upon the rebels, drove them from the streets, and followed them some distance out of town. They were perfectly cleaned out and fled. Many of the rebels were killed and wounded, but the number was not ascertained. Major Bowen had possession of the town, and sent to Rolla, Mo., for a surgeon and a reinforcement of fifty men. Capt.

Bad walkway. --The northern walkway of Bank street, between 9th and 11th streets, is nearly all the time unfit for use by the ladies, in consequence of its wet and muddy condition, caused by drainage from the entire southern front of the Capitol Square. Any considerable fall of water is liable to expose the walkway in question to overflow, and the evil cannot be remedied unless underground drainage is resorted to. No doubt the energetic Superintendent of the Square, Capt. Sam. Freeman, with his usual fertility of invention, will soon discover an avenue for the escape of the above objectionable "rush of many waters" --objectionable to everybody, and to the ladies particularly.

Rude Boys. --We are informed, by parties who have been witness to the conduct spoken of, that the sentinel posted on the Capitol Square to guard the buildings and Monument, and Capt.

A number of policemen will be detailed to keep an eye on the Square next Sunday.
