GREAT BATTLE SEAR SPRIXGr- ..--FIELD, MISSOURI.'.

Generals Lyon, McCullotli Price Killed.

A GREAT VICTORY

and

The telegraphic news, under date of St. Louis. Aug. 13th, gives the following official report ofafight ncarSpring'field, Mo., on Saturday last—as forwarded by one of General Lyon's Aid-de-camps to Gen. Fremont:

Lyon in three columns under him\6elf, Sigel and Major Sturgiss of the cavalry, attacked the enemy at halfpast 6 o'clock, on the morning of the 10th, nine miles south-east of Springfield. The engagement wns severe. '•Our loss was about 800 killed and wounded.

Gen. Lyon was killed in "a chargc at the head of his column. Our force was 8,600, including 2,000 home guards,

The muster rolls taken from the en--•cmy gave his strength at 20,000, inclu-«d-ing regiments from Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, with Texas rangers .?_and Cherokee half-breeds. i::-Their loss is reported heavy, ineluding Gens. McCulloch and l'rico. This statement is corroborated bj* prisoners.

Thoir tents and wagons were destroyed \jn the action. -Sigel left one gun on the field and retreated to Springfield with a largo number of prisoners.

At three oclock, on the 7norning of Tlhellth, he continued his retreat on,' Ivolla, bringing off his baggage trains and §25,000 in specie from the Spring- •»... field bank.

The following isa rebel report taken from a special messenger who brought dispatches for Gen. Fremont. 'Early on Saturday morning Lyon marched out of Springfield to give the cnemj^ battle. He came up to them on Davis' Creek on Green Prairie, a few .miles south-west of Springfield, where "he had taken a strong position, on rolling ground. At 20 minutes past 6 7 o'clock, in the morning. Gen. Lyon 'fired the first gun, when the battle immediately began. Severe cannonading was kept up two or three hours, when

vthe

fire of Captain Totten's artillery proved too severe for the enemy and ... they gradually fell back towards their encampment on "Wilson's creek. v?

Lyon's cavalry posted on the cneTny's left flank, and Gen. Sigel's artil^'..lcry on the right, then began a teriffic attack, and spread slaughter and dismay in the ranks of the enemy, pursuing them to their camp.

Shells from Totten's artillery set fire to their tents and baggage ..wagons, which were ali destroyed. :A Louisiana regiment and a Missis6i'ppi regiment seemed to have suffered '..most in the fight, and were almost annjhilated. ,",Some time in the afternoon, as Genoral Lyon was leading on his column.

Tiis.horse »vas shot from under him.— He immediately mounted another, and as heturned around to his men, waving his hat in his hand, and cheering his men on to victory, he was struck in the small of his back "by a ball and fell dead. The command then devolved upon Gen. Sigel.

Pursuit continued until nightfall, when our little army rested tor the night in tbe encampment ofthe enemy.

Sunday morning Gen. Sigel fearing the enemy might recover and attempt to cut his command off from Springfield fell back upon that city, where the horne guard were stationed. On reaching Springfield fearing that the great numbersoVthe enemy might induce them 'v. to get between him and Rolla, Gen.

Sigel concluded to fall back upon Rolla with his provision trains to wait for the reinforcements which were on the way to m.

IT Up to tho last moment before the departure of the messenger, the enemy i-. Jiad not been seen, and it is probable that Gen. Sigel has not.been disturbed in his march.

Ninety of the rebels were captured, •ij The sword and horse of McCulloch

were among the trophies.

St. Lonis—Col. Fremont's Movements. From the latest news from St. Louis we learn that the police office of the •-hi city was taken possession of on Tucsday evening, by Federal authorities, and special orders issued to the police .- Home Guard to be under arms at the ... various armories, prepared for any

I emergency. Tho city was reported quiet. It was further understood that Gen. Fremont would declare martial law in the city yesterday. Also that 3ao had obtained a loan of $250,000, from the Banks of St. Louis.' Heavy guns are being mounted so as to comihandall approaches to the city.

It is stated that Col. Sigel would •r have lost another (the second) gun, on Saturday, had he not compelled the prisoners to drag it off the field.

Tennessee Loyalists Coming'. We understand from a reliable source that tlio ablo and fearless patriots and statesmen, Ex-Gov. Andy Johnson, and Hon. Emerson Etheridge, of Tennessee, will address the citizens of Montgomery county, at Crawfordsvilie, some time during the coming week. Xoticc will be given through posters and otherwise immediately on the exact time being ascertained.

WAVELASD COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. A truly excellent school, and a rare example of modest worth in its line, is tho Presbytcrial Collegiate Institute, at Vvaveland. Scarcely known out of its immediate region, and enjoying but little newspaper notoriety, it is pursuing, nevertheless, a quiet career of usefulness wliich jihices it in tho first rank of institutions of its grade.- And after comparing its course of study with that.pursued in other institutions and observing for several years the methods of instruction and government adopted, wc are free to say th.it its grade is second only to the College. The retirednessof the beautiful village in which it is located is highly favorable to stud}*, and secures immunity from main* of tho evil influences which prevail in large towns and along public thoroughfares while, at the same time, it is easily accessible by rail as far as to C'rawfordsville and Rockville. and from these points, between which it is equi-distant, by regular tri-wcck-ly conveyance.

But our special object in referring to it now is to note the appointment of the Rev. D. S. Colmery, of "Washington, Iowa, as President of the Institute and Professor of Mathematics and Mental & Moral Science. lie will remove at once to his field of labor.— Students may expect to find him in his place at the opening of the term, the lGth of September. The Trustees have reason to congratulate themselves on thus securing the services of a man who will adorn the station which hehas been called to occupy, and we hope a discerning public will appreciate the claims to their patronage of an institution that has always relied for success upon its solid merits, and not upon puffing or drumming.

Let those who feel interested, apply to Prof. Kritz for catalogues.

Gen. MeCIellan's Headquarters. The "Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says Gen. McClellan's headquarters arc on the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Nineteenth street.' Overa plain threestory house, without any gaudy pretentions, the American flag floats.— Around it are hitched a number of horses, whose trappings are tho only cnsigiia of war visible. In the third story, in the back room, sits the man by the sido of a rude pine table, on whom the eyes of the world arc now turned. Quietly he reads his dispatches. and paticntl}- listens to his officers, who are coming and going all the time.

Not a muscle is moved unnecessari ly, not a frown or smile is noticed, as the tenor of reports and dispatches change. Around him, upon the wall, arc his maps and charts before him his tables showing his forces and their location, with the position of his rebel foe. lie issues his orders and instructions as though upon each one hung the fate of a nation.

Rebel Desiruetion—Sympathy for Treason. MR. En.—J understand there are a few men in this region who still sympathize with thoso how in armed rebellion against the Government of the United States. Allow me to present a fact or two for their especial consideration. On the Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road, along which the Ohio and Indiana troops have been stationed, the rebels have destroyed railroad engines, car?, depots and bridges to the amount of at least three millions, ($3,000,000,) thus throwing out of employment at the lowest calculation 10,000 men, whose families arc dependent on their daily labor for subsistence. This Road was the life's blood of their whole.commcrce—its destruction would not stop for a single day thc.army of the United States—it was a wanton destruction of privato property, belonging to their own neighbors and in their own State.

The Federal troops have been and aro now re-building and re-construct-ing the Road, opening up thocommcrco and giving business to those thrown out of employmcnt.( .j

Twenty millions w'duld scarcely cover tliu damages ami destruction produced by the rebel troops on that Road alone.

Thus while the rebel army have boon desolating their own lyul and crushing its business, the Fec^ral army has been re-building their bridges, opening up their commerce, giving protection to the citizens and stopping the cruel system of impressment adopted and practiced by the rebel authorities.— The destruction of property here alluded to extends from Bellair on tho Ohio river, to Harper's Ferry on the Potomac, a distance of 280 miles and this is a drop in the bucket, when compared with the destruction, the devastation and robberies committed by the rebels in all parts of the South.

Is there a man in this county or State who can sympathize with or aid them in their wicked and useless havoc? If there is, he is no patriot. He loves not his country he is a secessionist at heart, which is but a synonym for treason and disloyalty to our Government. Truly,

T. W. FRY.

HOME AGAIN.

Hon. Henry S. Lane passed through this city yesterday, on his way from AVashington to Crawfordsville, in good health and full of hope for our government in its great struggle. He says that the changes instituted by General McClellan have had a striking effect on the quiet of the Capital, as well as on the discipline of the troops, that no drunkenness is now seen on tho streets and no loafing officers at tho hotels that everybody, from drummer to Brigadier-General, has to be at his post unless a "pass" shows that ho is in the city on business. Ilo also says that the force of three years' men in Washington and the vicinity is a little larger than the force we had there previous to the advance into Virginia, and that our line of pickets extends along the whole length of the Potomac above Washington, and is so complete that it is impossible for tho attempt to cross la at river, or move on Washington, without ample notice. So perfect are the precautions against an attack on the Capital that nothing of the kind is now feared.'

Ofthe battle at Bull's Run, which he saw, he says that nothing but the lack of generalship prevented its being as complete a victory as it was a defeat. Three brigades, Tyler's, Schenk's and Miles', were left almost entirely out of the fight, the first" two having done a little fighting early in the morning, but all the rest of the day holding their position "as a reserve," without doing anything else and the last never getting into the battle at all.— With this force added to those who drove the enem}T nearly two miles in spite of their masked batteries and elaborate entrenchments, Col. Lane thinks the battle would have been won surelv and gloriously. Of the panic, he says that it has been cnormously oxaggerated. As we have already noticcd lie took an active part in arresting the stream of fugitives between C-entrevillo and the battle-field, saw tho whole affair, and can therefore speak advisedly. He says that excepting about three or four regiments, the great body of the army came off in fis good order as armies ever come oft* a battle-field. A few regiments got scared, became broken up, threw away their arms, and ran like cowards but much the largest portion did nothing ofthe sort. The story of the alarm among the civilians, too, ho says is greatly exaggerated. There were but four civilians under fire, so far as he knows, during the whole day R.N. Hudson and J. P. C. Shanks of this State, who were with the New York 60th in its terrible conflicts, and fought like Trojans, and two New York reporters. The other civilians were far enough out of the way, and so were all of the teamsters but about twenty-five who got dangerously near to the Bull's Run bridge. Unquestionably, if the first reports of the battle that got abroad had been true, we should be at a loss to-day to decide whether we had not gained a creditablo victory. The battle was fought'on the old homestead of Col. Lane's ancestors, and the ground is familiar to him. The center hospital was the former mansion of his uncle, Wm. Carr Lane, and all the hardest fighting was done on the farm attached to \t.—Indianapolis Journal. -Mr. Lane arrived at home on Thursday evening last,ti

Confederate Flag: in Canada. The Hamilton, C. \^.Jr Spectator of July 29th saj-fi:

Early on Sunday morning, about 5 o'clock, abcautiful flag, bearing as many stars upon it as the States out of the American Union, might have been descried floating proudly from tire dome of the Anglo-American Hotel. As the building has long been vacant, it is evident that some persons well acquiuted with the place were instrumental in theflaghoisting. Policeman Graham was tho first to observe the obnoxious emblem, and removed it as speedily as he could, or it is probable that mischief might have been caused by its exhibition. We imagine it to be a small business for any one to take the.trouble of displaying the secession flag, especially as this was rathor a costly one. It is lying at tlve post office, where the owner or owners, we presume can have it on application.

Gov. Wright.

Wo see by the New York papers that Gov. Wright of this State has arrived in that city, and made a strong, earnest, able Union speech, at a reception given him by the city authorities.— We are more than glad that Gov. Wright has returned. His ability, earnestness, singleness of purpose, and devoted patriotism, will do more than any other influence to crush the treason of such men as John G. Davis, and the Sentinel clique, who are now following the lead of Jesse D. Bright. We append the Governor's speech:—Indianapolis Journal.

Upon being called on to address the meeting, Gov. Wright spoke of the dignity of the body before which lie appeared, and the standing which it had in other countries. He had been a politician all his life, and he returned home With a hoavy heart to see the distracted condition of the country.— He would say in tho first place, in regard to our position abroad, that we were misrepresented. The course of the London Daily Telegraph was an instance of this. Six months ago it favored the Government of his country, but now its tone is entirely changed. The London Times had said that the South was a unit and the'North was divided, and thisbeforo there had been any vote on secession. Tno Jjogiisn press has been subsidized. Our institutions wore attacked by mercenary means, and by men who wished to see us destroyed.

In regard to that portion of Europe where ho had been residing he could say the German heart moved slowl}*, but whenever it was enlisted and understood a subject, there was no people more efficient and reliable. And that heart in overy pulsation throbbed in unison with tho eauso of the Government hero. Within no long period, the speaker said, hp must have recieved 500 letters from gentlemen desiring to come to the United States and enlist in our cause. And he had to publish a card in the newspapors, and put a notice over his door, that his office was not a recruiting office. He believed tho Government he had been accredited to, was making greater advances toward a true democracy than any other in Europe, and this was one reason why they looked with such great interest toward the issue in this country.— The last words of His Majesty the King of Prussia to Gov. Wright were "God grant that you may be able to sustain your laws and the institutions of your country." That was the sentiment of the German nation. But owing to her peculiar position, wc should look to other powers to lead off in the expression of these sentiments. There was a jealousy in tho Governments of Europe against us. We might have other enemies to fight than those at home.

What he had principally to say was. that we had got to help ourselves if we expected others to help us. If he had had impressed on his mind any one fact more than another, it was that in our Union was our stronth. Heretofore, in Prussia, there had been some difficulty in regard to the protection of citizens of the United States who were born in Prussia, and had returned to that country. Two years ago, in every instance where applications were made for the release of such citizens who had been enlisted in the army, the men were at once given up. But no sooner had the news of our difficulties reached that Government than arrests began to be made but when the month of May came round, and showed the union of the loyal people of this country, then tho feeling began to rise, like mercury in .a thermomater, that there was a Government here that they had some respect for. It is not two months since the law was promulgated that Prussia loses all claims upon her citizens who remain away from their native land for a period of ten years.

If wo desire aid from Europo we have got to show that wo have got strength at home. You can imagine my mortification on receipt of the news of what was thought to be so great a disaster at Bull's Run. But I regard this calamity asonly calculated to nerve and incite ourpeoplc—toshow uswhere our real danger is, and also where our strength resides. What is to be the result of this? What is your duty and what is mine? It may be said that should say to tho South as Abraham said to Lot, "Let there be no strife between me and thee. Is not the whole land before thee? Seperate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the'left hand,then I will go to the right or if thou depart to tho right hand, then I will go to the left." But I apprehend that Abraham would never thus have spoken had Lot intex-fered with his houshold, and torn down the ark of the covenent. Let the government be sustained, Jet tho laws have the supremacy, but not till then can wc talk about going to the right or to the left. [Cheers.] What are we to do? 1 go home forgetting everything but my country.

You and I ought to be willing to submit to any sacrifice rather than to allow to go unrcbuked that slander of Jeff. Davis, thatour fathers formed only a Confederacy of States. I have been taught from childhood that we never can be two people. [Cheers.] Governor Wright referred to an incident that came under- his observation at Berlin, of a dj'ing mother with her babe on her brest, and her last request was that the American "flag should be brought and wrapped round her body. Three hundred thousand men have been sent to carry that flag into Virginia., and they would never come back until crowned with victory. It had been said that one man right and Hea,ven on his side, he could .ivhip the woild. Wc know we are right we know our field of duty. With a steady nerve, all wc have to d.o is to. march on till we establish the laws of tho cPuhtry and tho supremacy of its institutions. I arn^ glad to colebrate the anniversary of our nation, the Fourth of July I hold in reverence many other days in the calender of our country's history—but there will come a brighter dny than all

others, and that will be when wc shall have peace in our land. But pray God let it bo a permanent pence, established upon principle—never let it be at the sacrifice of particle uf principle.— [Cheers.]

At the conclusion ofthe address tho thanks of the Chamber were voted to the speaker, and the members availed themselves of an opportunity for introduction.

General Ort'ess-. 13 Headquarters ofthe Army, u: WASHINGTON, July 31. 1861.J It has been the prayer of every patriot that the tramp and din of civil war might at least spare the precincts •within which repose the sacred remains ofthe Father of his Country but the pious hope is disappointed. Mount Vernon, so recently consecrated anew to the iinortal Washington by the ladies of America, has already been overrun by bands of rebels, who, having trampled under foot the constitution of the United States, the ark of our freedom and prosperity, iue prepared to trample on the ashes of him to whom we are all mainly indebted for those mighty blessings. Should the operations ofthe war take the United States troops in that direction, the General-in-Chief does npt doubt that every, man will approach with due reverence, and leave uninjured not only the tomb, but also tho house, the groves and walks, K'histU «rnrfi so loved by tlie best and greatest of men.
