routed the State forces at Booneville, killing three hundred and taking six hundred prisoners; and also stating that Gen. Price was mortally wounded, and seventeen of the Federal troops were wounded. Col. Bernstein was continually sending out scouting parties into the country surrounding Jefferson City. One company had just arrived, bringing a large quantity of powder in kegs, taken from one of Gov. Jackson's secret depots in the interior. The Secessionists of Boone, Holloway, and Howard counties are fleeing, and the Union Home Guards are beginning to organize in those counties. Later. St. Louis, June 19th. --It is reported here that Gen. Lyon has completely routed the State forces at Booneville, killing three hundred and taking six hundred prisoners. The report, however, needs confirmation. There is no means of ascertaining its truth or falsity at present, as direct communication with that quarter is out off.

s, including chaplains, are coming. More "masked batteries"--the navigation of the Potomac in Peril. Washington, Aug. 17. --The correspondent of the New York Post says that a new Confederate battery, two miles below Aquia Creek, unexpectedly opened on the Pocahontas to-day. No damage was done. This is the fourth new battery erected in this neighborhood, and unless some immediate action is taken prominent naval officers here think that the navigation of the Potomac will cease. The Union men here say that there will be a great Federal victory in Virginia when the next battle occurs, and that it will extinguish "rebellion" in all the Confederate States. [Those Union men who entertain such views ought to obtain prominent places in the next battle.] The Confederates continue the barbarous (?) practice of firing on Federal pickets. News received here from Kansas states that 600 well-armed men have left Howard county to join Gov. Jackson's forces in Missouri.

ng to the fact that they had been placed in position to command the Fayetteville road, down which it was expected the Federal troops would move. D. Cornyn is of opinion that the killed on both sides were left unburied, owing to the great number and to the terrible stench which filled the air the day after the battle. Families living in the vicinity were compelled to leave on this account. Great numbers of horses, many of which were shot in twain, and dead and mangled men, covered the field in every direction and the sun's rays acting upon these, must have soon rendered the atmosphere unendurable. Among the Confederates killed is Colonel Weightman, formerly delegate in Congress from New Mexico, Gen. Parsons was wounded very severely, and it is believed mortally, General John B. Clark, of Howard county, (lately a member of Congress,) was wounded slightly. He had two sons in the action. The elder of the two, Colonel Clark, took the command when his father left the field.

The Boston Advertiser has a singular statistical article, showing that Massachusetts has ordinarily more than her share of women, and that now, through the withdrawal of men into the army, there must be in that State one hundred thousand more women than men. This remarkable surplus is regarded as unfavorable to the morals of the community. One of the editors of the Missouri Republican recently made a tour through the central portion of that State, including the counties of Randolph, Howard, Boone, Audrain, Callaway, Monroes, Montgomery and St. Charles. The harvest, as a general thing, is short, owing to the excessive drought. The cultivation of cotton and sorghum is rapidly increasing in these counties. It is also observed, as an effect of the present high prices, that the ancient regime of home industry, the loom and spinning wheel, were heard in almost every house. Quite an excitement prevails at the Lindell Hotel, St. Louis, in regard to the question whether white

eets, on the 25th of May, a Major Harris, of Cooper county, formerly a rebel officer, but now an inmate of Gratiot street prison, made a speech, in which he stated that he had been traveling through Illinois and over the district of North Missouri; and gave a glaring account of the prosperous condition of the Order wherever he had been. He regarded its condition in St. Louis as rather lethargic, but spoke in high terms of praise of its energy and activity in the counties of Callaway, Boone, Howard, Chartton and Cooper. The greatest difficulty experienced by the officers in those counties, he said, was to restrain the members of the Order from rising before the proper opportunity should arrive. He had found the same difficulty to exist in the State of Illinois, and appealed to those present to take no hasty steps, but to await the official call of their Grand Commander. He spoke of General Price in the most eulogistic terms; said he had been in constant communication with him, Marma

says: Quantrell and Jackman were with the rebel army with commands, they being recognized as rebel officers. So is Bill Anderson. Price encamped at Marshall, Lafayette county, on Sunday night, and occupied the country between that place and Lexington. He is said to be greatly encouraged at the small forces to oppose him. He talks confidently of wintering in the State. Anderson, Jackman and others have enlisted a large number of recruits in North Missouri. Charlton and Howard counties have each furnished fifteen hundred; Boone, two thousand; Randolph, one thousand; Calloway and Monroe, eight hundred each. In addition to the recruits, the rebels are constantly gathering arms from he captured garrisons, and their army is assuming alarming proportions. The Herald gives the following as the very latest from Missouri: General Rosecrans, who is now at the front, in command of the Union forces pursuing General Price, says, in his latest telegrams, that the main r
