received by a merchant of that city from one of the strongest Union men in Missouri: Glasgow, Mo., Aug. 20, 1861. The Federal forces were badly whipped and cut to pieces at Springfield, and thousands are now flocking to Jackson's and McCulloch's armies. We are having awful times in Missouri.--Secession would ruin us, but take the vote to-day and Missouri would go out by a large majority. Had our Governor--Provisional Governor Gamble--done right, we would have had peace. Boat Springfield battle. Union men are very scarce here. The action of the Convention will never be sustained. It has drawn all the sympathy to Jackson's side. His bitter enemies that were are now his best friends. The State forces under McCulloch and Price will be very large in a few days. We are all ruined. The following letter appears in the St. Louis Democrat, a Black Republican paper: Springfield, Aug. 17.--Gen. Rains issued an order soon after his arrival to seize

Having taken position about 10 miles from Springfield, I endeavored to gain the necessary information of the strength and position of the enemy, stationed in and about the town. The information was very conflicting and unsatisfactory. I however made up my mind to attack the enemy in their position, and issued orders on the 9th inst. to my force to start at 9 o'clock at night to attack at four different points at day-light. A few days before. Gen.

of Oak Hill, Missouri: Mr. John A. Quarles, a young man of Arkansas, who had been prevented by illness from joining a company which went to Missouri from his neighborhood, left home as soon as he became well enough, with a view of joining McCulloch's army. He arrived at the camp just in time to take part in the great battle, and fought as an independent volunteer, in the hottest part of the field. He and another young Arkansian, A. McNeill, were taken prisoners in the battle, their gunsgest to his companion that they should fall upon the ground, as though killed. It was not long before the gallant Louisianians stormed this battery and delivered the two young men from their terrible condition, and they yet live to fight under McCulloch again. While the deliverance of these young men is a source of joy to us all, what a picture does this narrative present of the thievish and murderous propensities of those monsters in human form, who are fighting Lincoln's battles. What

designs of the Administration at Washington to crush out the last vestige of free government here, and establish in its stead an absolutism more despotic and as irresponsible as that of Turkey. Thank God! the tyranny of that royal Governor will be short lived. The people of the State were already rushing by hundreds and thousands to the defence of their homes and liberties, and this act was scarcely necessary to drive the last Missourians to arms. Under Jackson, and Price, and McCulloch, and Hardee, and Pillow, a mighty host is gathering and advancing; and soon, like a thunderbolt, they will fall on the Hessian hordes of the tyrant and sweep them from the earth they pollute. To-day this petty creature of a bastard Nero, in his guarded tent, may dream of royalty, and imagine himself a king and the master of a million of his equals, but to-morrow will come, and then, a fugitive from the justice that must overtake him, or a trembling beggar for mercy from those he would

ng like demons, and charging on them, prevented Lyon's command, through fear, from moving forward, and intimidated a large force of infantry, which never did get on the field. These facts will never be fully known, unless the enemy make a fair report and true statement of facts. I hope they may do so. "As soon as the cavalry under me (I was acting as Brigadier General) left the rear of the enemy, they retreated from the field. I moved my command around, and received orders from General McCulloch to take a position on a commanding ridge. I there learned that Siegel, with two pieces of cannon and two or three thousand Dutch, had gone down the road. I dispatched two of my Texas companies and one Missouri company after him. They captured his regimental flag and cannon, and killed and captured nearly all of his men. Siegel got into Springfield with two men only. Myself and command were ordered in pursuit of the enemy, but unfortunately ordered in the wrong direction. We remaine

m the fearful condition of affairs among the people of the several States; and for the purpose of giving a free and frank expression to the real sentiments we cherish toward each other, and of our true position in regard to questions which affect the general welfare; and particularly on the subject of slavery; Therefore, be it Resolved, That we fully approve the neutrality recommended by the Principal Chief, in the war pending between the United and Confederate States, and tender to Gen. McCulloch our thanks for the respect he has shown to our position. Resolved, That we renew the pledges given by the Executive of this Nation, of the friendship of the Cherokees towards the people of all the States and particularly towards these on our immediate border, with whom our relations have been harmonious and cordial, and from whom they should not be separated. Resolved, That we also take occasion to renew to the Creeks, Choctaws, Seminoles, Chickasaws and Osages, assurances of

A., under date of August 24th, enclosing dispatches to Gen. McCulloch. We quote a portion of the letter. "In view of this action a regiment of mounted men will be immediately raised and placed under command of Col. John Drew, to meet any emergency that may arise. The dispatches to General McCulloch relate to General McCulloch relate to these subjects, and contain a tender from Col. Drew of his regiment for service on our Northern border. Having response the cause of the Confederate Sates, we hope to render efficient service in the protracted war which now threatens the country, and to be treated with a liberality and confidence becoming the Confederate Sates. This is gratifying. The Cherokees are a war, his people, and Kansas Jayhawkers and Abo will be made to feel their vengeance aggressions which they have been comm

Missouri. --The Northern telegraphic accounts from Missouri are altogether unreliable. We have no idea that our cause there is retrograding, notwithstanding the retreat of McCulloch to Arkansas. From accounts received by telegraph here, it is evident that both Green and Price are doing good service. McCulloch's withdrawal is merely temporary and for a good reason, intended to give his next advance increased potency and effect. General A. S. Johnston will soon add new spirit and efficiaphic accounts from Missouri are altogether unreliable.

On account of his size, Mr. Taylor is familiarly called "Babe" by his comrades, and the term "Babe's Battery" is applied to his gun. One of our citizens, on seeing the mammoth weapon, made its possessor a present of a bag of buckshot, and Mr. Taylor says he will "scatter them" in the right place. Eager for the fray. The Helena (Ark.) Shield learns that on last Monday week thirteen hundred Indian warriors--Southern allies — crossed the Arkansas river near Fort Smith, en route for McCulloch's camp. The Indians were armed with rifles, butcher-knives, and tomahawks, and had their faces painted, and seemed eager for the fray. Florida mackerel. The Savannah Republican says: The blockade is developing the resources of sea and land South. We noticed at the family grocery store of Mr. Jos. H. Farrell, the other day, a strange fish to us, about the size of mackerel, put up in the same sort of kits in which mackerel came from the North. On inquiry we found them to be
