General Jeff. Thompson's official report.

We publish this morning Gen. Thompson's official report of his extraordinary campaign in Missouri, which will repay perusal. Probably there is no officer in the army in regard to whose movements the enemy feel more dread and apprehension. He is brave, adventurous, and daring, and, though contending against large odds, conducts his expeditions with the skill of a thorough soldier, and brings them to a successful termination. General Thompson is a native of Virginia and his gallantry in the present war entitles him to a place among the most distinguished of her sons. General Price and Lieutenant Governor Reynolds, who have cast their fortunes with Missouri, and are also gloriously sustaining the cause of the South, are Virginians, and their mother State now hails them as citizens of the Southern Confederacy.
