ictorious, when the odds were as five to one against them. For the last few weeks the recruits composing this regiment have been in camp Wm. A. Phillips, at Fort Lincoln, perfecting themselves in drill. On the twenty-sixth of October, Captain Seamen received an order from Major Henning, commanding at Fort Scott, to take such a force as he could raise and proceed to a point on the Osage, Bates County, Mo., and there break up a gang of bushwhackers. We marched from Fort Lincoln with seventy men of the battalion raised by himself, under Capt. Pierson, (formerly of the First Iowa,) and Lieut. Thrasher, (formerly of the Third Kansas,) and one hundred and srcements. Being greatly in need of mounted men, we sent to the organized militia companies, also to Colonel Adams, commanding the Twelfth regiment, to camp at Fort Lincoln, and to Major Henning, at Fort Scott. We requested the latter to send what reenforcecnents he could along the south side of the Osage River, to Burnett's Ferr

dramatic scenes of the years of war; and even to those who are not veterans, those who have grown up in years of peace and to whom the campaigns of half a century back are but historic pages or dim stories, even to them must come, in looking at these pictures of campaigns, these vivid episodes of life and death, a clearer realization than could be secured in any other way of what the four years struggle meant for their fathers and their grandfathers. The fine views of Fort Stevens and Fort Lincoln recall the several periods in which, to the continuing anxieties of the people's leader, was added immediate apprehension as to the safety of the national capital. On the 19th of April, 1861, the Massachusetts Sixth, on its way to the protection of Washington, had been attacked in Baltimore, and connections between Washington and the North were cut off. A few hundred troops represented all the forces that the nation had for the moment been able to place in position for the protection of

tatement was made, it is entitled to no credit, for deserters are not usually to be relied upon. The latest news we have is from the Washington Chronicle of the 13th inst., which will be found in this morning's paper. We learn, in addition, that General Lew Wallace, who was defeated by the Confederates at Monocracy Bridge and fled from the field in confusion, has been relieved of his command and superseded by General Ord. A gentleman from the Northern Neck of Virginia reports that Forts Lincoln and Stephens, which constitute a portion of the defences of Washington, were carried by the Confederates on the 13th. We are not prepared to vouch for the accuracy of this statement, though we see no reason for doubting it. We have it from the best authority that Grant has moved two corps and a large quantity of artillery from the front of Petersburg, and sent them to aid in the defence of Washington.
