News from Missouri.

--We are informed that a private dispatch was received in this city on Saturday from a very reliable source in Arkansas, which states that at the recent battle near Springfield, Missouri, the Confederates lost, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, about one thousand, and the Federals lost twenty-five hundred in killed, wounded, and prisoners. General Lyon was killed. Six cannon were taken, besides a large amount of stores, wagons, &c., &c. The Federal rout was complete. Generals McCulloch and Price were in hot pursuit of the enemy, and they entertained confident hopes of capturing the whole of General Siegel's command.--Generals Hardee and Jeff. Thompson are moving to the northeast with a view of cutting off General Siegel's retreat towards St Louis.
