A regiment crossed the river and destroyed the houses and levelled the trees on the opposite side which has screened the Confederate artillery on the night of the last attack. The Confederate dasher are going on bravely. They have captured Canton, Mo., and a quantity of arms. They are also reported to have a Federal force surrounded at Bloomfield, Missouri. The Governor of New York is to issue his proclamation for drafting in a few days. Among those killed in McClellan's camp by the artillery attack was one of the provost guard at the Selden Mansion. The Confederate firing was too high to do much damage. The Northern account of the attack on the Arkansas acknowledges it to have been a dead failure. Lieut. Col.
