The great victory in Missouri. --The advices published at length this morning leave no doubt of the great victory which we have achieved in Missouri. It is scarcely short of the victory at Manassas in importance. In material results, it for eMissouri. It is scarcely short of the victory at Manassas in importance. In material results, it for exceeds that achievement. In prisoners taken, in property captured, in treasure rescued, it is far the grandest affair of the war, and one of the most remarkable military successes in history. It must have many and great moral results. It settles the fortunes of Western and Northern Missouri. Lexington is upon the Southern bank of the Missouri river, in the centre of the Western half of the State. It commands the river, and is the heart of Western Missouri. A large portion of the most Western Missouri. A large portion of the most loyal of the Missouri people reside in the fertile portion of the State North of the river; and the command of the channel of the river gives us possession of that splendid and populous region of country. The disaster at Lexington decides the fo
War news and rumors — the army of the Kanawha — heavy skirmishing — movements on the Potomac — the news from Missouri. The city was full of rumors yesterday, many of them, as usual, being entirely destitute of truth. Gen. Wise arrived from the army of the Kanawha on Saturday evening, and brought highly interesting intelligence from the troops lately under his command at Big Sewell Mountain. The enemy attacked him on Monday in heavy force, numbering, it is supposed, 9,000 men, and Gen. W.point on this side of the upper Potomac. It was positively stated yesterday that the War Department received an official dispatch from General Price on the previous evening, giving a statement of the result of his great fight at Lexington. Missouri, as follows: 4,000 Federals killed and 7,000 taken prisoners: from 3,000 to 4,000 horses captured, and three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold; Confederate loss, 800 killed. On inquiry, we ascertained that no such dispatch had been rec
is now in the possession of the provost guard. The name of the author of the article was divulged, and it is thought that the publication of the paper will be allowed to continue. General items from the Herald's Summary. The news from Missouri creates great excitement in this city, and many Missourians stopping in the city are taking measures to send assistance to their far-off home. It is said that arrangements have been made for transportation of 4,000 equipments and about 8,000 muskets to Missouri immediately from this city. From the far West we hear a great many rumors about the threatened invasion of the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona by rebel troops from Texas. Forts McLane and Fillmore have been destroyed, and the U. S. troops removed to Forts Craig and Stanton. There had been conflicting reports of engagements at Mesilla and Los Cruces, in which no reliance could be placed. At last accounts matters were quiet at For Fauntlerey, New Mexico, though it wa
, our State authorities, and our Confederate Government, have zealously, patriotically, and harmoniously combined to bring about the present glorious results. We have won victory after victory, are besieging the enemy in his capital, cutting off his water communication from the North, and daily approaching and threatening to bombard Washington; Maryland, that belonged to the North, or at worst was neutral when the war began, is now ready to join us, so soon as our armies cross the Potomac; Missouri is up in arms, has checked the progress of the invader, and is fast driving him from her soil; last of all, Kentucky has raised the standard of revolt. We went into the war a few months since, without men or money, without munitions of war, or clothing or provisions for our soldiers, and with a new and but half-organized Confederate Government. As if by magic, an army of a quarter of a million, or more — well officered, well armed, well provisioned, well clothed, and well disciplined
Gen. Jeff. Thompson. --Of this distinguished officer, whose arrival in Memphis a few days ago we noticed on Saturday, the Memphis Avalanche, of Thursday, says: There was considerable curiosity manifested by our citizens to see this noted Missouri chieftain, but his unassuming manners and plainness of dress puzzled everybody, and threw nearly all off the scent. In appearance Gen. Thompson is as peculiar as his daring acts of bravery. He stands fully six feet in height, and is very slender. To look at him one would suppose him to be much taller, but his slender frame adds to his stature in a remarkable degree. His features are prominently marked, with high cheek-bones, and the lines of his face are expressive of determination, while his carriage is easy and graceful. The most expressive characteristic of his face is his eyes. They are a dark hazel, and would seem to pierce through and through the best holder. His dress is of grey with a browalur hat, which looks to hav
