What action Major Sturgis will take in the matter is not known. St. Louis, Aug. 17.--The statement in the late news from California that J. C. Palmer had left that State for the purpose of taking charge of the commissary department under Gen. Fremont, is untrue. He has no connection whatever with Gen. Fremont. The other side.

Captain Mason, Company C, was killed soon after his regiment was engaged. Lieutenant Purcell was mortally wounded. Major Porter and Colonel Merritt, gallantly cheering on their boys, escaped unharmed. The Kansas First and Second regiments were now ordered forward to support the right flank of the Iowas. Col. Green's Regiment of Tennessee Cavalry, bearing a Secession flag, now charged upon our wounded, who were partially guarded by one or two companies of infantry. Seeing the movement, Capt. Totten poured a few rounds of canister into their ranks just in time to save our sick men from being trampled to death, dispersing the rebels so completely that nothing more was seen of them during the day. Gen. Lyon now desired the Iowa boys, whom he had found so brave, to prepare to meet the next onset of

Discovering the ruse just in time, our boys rushed order, and were not pursued by the enemy, who was evidently glad to be let alone. When General Siegel, who commanded the Eastern division, heard the roar of Totten's artillery, he at once attackirst. His men scattered considerably, and Colonel Solomon's could not be rallied — consequently Siegel lost five of his guns. Our troops took some four hundred horses and about seventy prisonersour hands.

They were none of them worked with precision, every shot, for nearly an hour, going whiz twenty feet over our heads. Our army reached Springfield in safety, and are now preparing to move toward Rolla. Our loss is about 200 killed, and 600 or 700 wounded, while the loss of the enemy must have been double our own. Dr. Scheuck, who was in the rebel camp at a late hour last evening, bringing away our wounded, reports our men comparatively few with those of the enemy, whose dead were lying thick under the trees.
