excited state of feeling, and "death to the guerillas" is the motto. Seven guerillas were hung in one day by a party of citizens, who joined together for a fox chase. Hudson, Mo., Aug. 7.--Colonel McNeill's forces came up with parties of guerrillas a few miles northeast of Kirksville, in Adair county, yesterday morning, and followed them skirmishing into the town, where a general fight ensued, in which the rebels lost 150 killed, forty wagons of supplies, and ten wagon loads of arms. Porter's forces are scattered. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 8.--General Merrill, during active operations against guerrillas in the northeast, will call able bodied loyal men to his assistance, and subsist his command off the Secessionists. The jurisdiction of the Provost Marshal General of this State has been extended over Illinois and Iowa. Recruiting in this city is progressing very satisfactorily, and there is but little doubt that the eight regiments called for under the President's fir

-day was fired into by guerrilla parties, at various points on the road, and one man was killed and thirteen wounded. Companies are forming here to assist in the capture of guerrillas near the city. As I write this dispatch the excitement is increasing in the city, and the streets are alive with the populace. Amazement and revenge are pictured upon every countenance. The death of Gen. McCook will be remembered here, and a terrible retribution will fail upon his assassins. Gov. Johnson and other prominent Union men have called to view the remains. The Governor was visibly affected by the sight of the corpse of his late friend. It is rumored that a number of prominent Secessionists in this city have been shot to-night by exasperated Unionists.

Malvern Hill. From the New York Herald's army correspondence we have the following, under date of "Harrison's Landing, August 7 P. M.:" The force under General Hooker, which went to Malvern Hill yesterday morning for a reconnaissance and a fight, has just returned to camp in good health and fine spirits. They got no sleep to speak of last night, as the preparations for the march homeward commenced about the time when the soldiers had laid down to rest. General Hooker had made preparations for an attack from the enemy the day before, and as they could not come to time, he concluded to return to camp. Accordingly, the column moved back to this placere was every indication that they would attack us early in the morning with overwhelming numbers. They intended, no doubt, to make the place too hot to hold General Hooker's "army," as the corps of which he was given the entire command was called. At this present writing they are, without doubt, in a terrible state of amazement

Washington, Aug. 8. --The new order restricting the emigra From Memphis. Memphis, Aug. 6. --It is reported that a fight took place on Sunday between two companies of Unionists, acting as escort to a provision train of sixty wagons, and a large body of Texan cavalry, at the mouth of St. Francis river. The former were dispersed, and many of the captured wagons destroyed. The same day ninety Unionists, fifteen miles above Helena, were surprised, and all killed or captured except two. A detachment of Indiana troops, under Colonel Fitch55 horses and a great portion of their arms were taken. Most of those who escaped were without arms or clothes. Seven Unionists were wounded; two seriously. Miscellaneous. Hon. Sir Allan Napler McNabb died at his residence in Toronto, Can

the Federal Administration calling for 600,000 more troops to put down the "rebellion," and levying a heavy draft upon the people to make up the same, has created great alarm at the North; and so rapid has been the stampede of the citizens, that Lincoln has been compelled to issue coercive orders to force them to remain at home till the draft is filled. From McClellan's army we have little of interest. The latest dispatches represent his forces as having withdrawn from Malvern Hill. From the ground that they are practicing an art necessary to military operations, and which, being known to comparatively few persons, their places cannot be supplied. The reasons for the draft. The following are the chief reasons which prompted Lincoln to resort to drafting: First. The representations of New York bankers and capitalists, repeated by one Committee after another, from week to week, and of late with special urgency, that the finances of the country could not stand the slo

and information, and the reason why Mrs. Mitchell had been subjected to the terror and humiliation of an arrest in a foreign State, when alone, instead of at home, where she could always be found, if she had committed any offence against the Government. The Provost Marshal replies that he was not officially instrumental in the matter. Mrs. Mitchell is therefore completely exonerated. Defeat of a guerrilla party. Chicago, August 8. --A dispatch from Trenton, Tenn., says that Captain Peck, with forty-three men of the Sixth Illinois cavalry, sent against Faulkner's cavalry, who have been committing depredations in the vicinity of Humboldt, surprised them while resting sleeping, five miles east of Dyersville, yesterday. Thirty rebels were killed, 55 horses and a great portion of their arms were taken. Most of those who escaped were without arms or clothes. Seven Unionists were wounded; two seriously. Miscellaneous.

s have been placed under the orders of Admiral Dupont. Gunboats have been stationed at each approach, and new signal lines have placed them in instant communication with headquarters. We shall know when the ram passes Pulaski what direction she takes, and what her evident purpose is, long before we see her. Meanwhile the rebels are concentrating at Bluffton, at Hardeesville, and at Grahamsville. It is apparently their plan first to destroy our fleet, and then to move the Fingal around to Seabrook, and there cover the landing of their forces. How the Admiral proposes to meet the Fingal it is not proper for me to reveal. It is sufficient for me to state that he believes at once in the impregnable nature of the craft, and in the reckless daring of her commander. Whether — in the event of her advent — he will remain on board the rudderless, helpless old Vermont, which at present is his flag ship, or betake himself to some one of the steamers in port, I do not know. I do know he

on her person. Gen. Leslie Coombs Vindicates Mrs. Mitchell. Gen. Leslie Coombs writes a sharp letter to the Cincinnati Commercial in defence of his daughter, Mrs. Mitchell. He says: "No man doubts my loyalty. I saved Kentucky in 1860 against Buchanan and his infamous den of thieves at Washington, aided by Breckinridge and friends, and the State authorities in Kentucky. There is not a man of my name, as far as I know or have heard, in the rebel ranks. My father fought under Washington, and I have shed my own blood in the battle fields of my country. I claim, therefore, to have my children treated with common decency and humanity--especially my daughters." Accompanying this letter was another to the Provost Marshal of Lexington, demanding upon what charges and information, and the reason why Mrs. Mitchell had been subjected to the terror and humiliation of an arrest in a foreign State, when alone, instead of at home, where she could always be found, if she had com

Thirty-five companies have already been organized, 15 of which have been armed, and are now chasing guerillas and assisting our troops to maintain quiet.

After retreating 40 miles from Forsyth, on the White river, Buck attacked them at daylight on the morning of the 4th, and killed three of them, wounded seven, and captured 25 horses, 20 guns, most of the clothing and saddles of the men, with 200 letters, and the original authority from the War Department of the Confederate States authorizing Col. Lawther to organize a regiment of partisan rangers for service in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois. Coffee, Hughes and Tracey are making strong efforts to get a foisting in the State, but the activity of our troops has so far prevented it.
