Late from Missouri.Boonville taken from the Federals. Col. Boyce, a gallant gentleman, bearer of dispatches to the Confederate Government at Richmond, arrived in this city yesterday. By the same arrival we are gratified to learn that Colonels Poindexter and Dorsey, with eight hundred men, had in three encounters met the enemy and obtained signal success in each. Although encountering superior forces they punished the invaders of Southern liberty severely, and captured the town of Boonville. The army of Gen. Price is said to be rapidly increasing in numbers, and is well armed, equipped, and full of resolute hope. A few days ago Col. Freeman, who is well styled the swamp-fox of Price's army, stole a march upon a large force of Federals stationed at Rolla. He had under his command but one hundred and twenty, all told; yet the enterprise was inviting, and the constant activity of the scouting commander could not forego the opportunity. He found the enemy quietly biv

to Executive sessions and Executive business, be returned to the Secretary of the Senate, in which the concurrence of the House is asked. The motion of Mr. Jenkins to lay the resolution of Mr. Foote upon the table, being before the House, Mr. Boyce desired to submit: some remarks as to the past and future conduct of the war. This was not a struggle of a day. We could not afford to give up a single Southern State. If the war had been more active and aggressive, we could have had the co-oping news that General Price had gained another great and signal victory over the Federal forces in Missouri, killing and wounding seven hundred, with a loss of but one hundred on our side. Mr. Machen, of Kentucky, replied to the remarks of Mr. Boyce. He thought the discussion had taken a wide range. When the House undertook to act upon the conduct of those who had the management of our campaigns, he thought they should be arraigned before the House with a fair show for defence. He asked

s about "King Cotton." He was tired of it. We should not militate against neutral powers nor attempt to coerce them. It was impolitic and unwise. We should make war only upon our enemies. He was in favor of including in the bill sugar, rice, naval stores, which are as much needed now as any article of commerce. The bill does not provide for the indemnification of the man who voluntarily destroys his property, and he thought that provision should stand in the fore part of the bill. Mr. Boyce said the North had exhibited in this contest extraordinary energy, but the very exertions they had made would exhaust them. The expenses of this war must exhaust the Morth. That is the wound of which they must die. If we can continue to throw the expense of the war upon them, they must stop. They dread to impose direct taxes — let us strike them at their vital part, which is money; but let us not deceive our own people, for we can never remunerate them for the sacrifices they must make.
