- LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Tae MouNTAIN Camp. —Gen. J. Y. James
"has organized a camp near the town of
“Huntingdon, directly under the authority of
the United States Government, in which is
now encamped about one thousand men. —
The Gereral has been authorized by the Sec
"retary®uf War to raise a fuil brigade of four
thousand men, to consist of infantry, caval
‘ry and artillery. The brigade is rapidly
“filling up, asithas many advantages over
the regular State organization. The camp
“18 the most beautiful in the State. It is
"situated about two miles from the town of
Huntingdon, in a field containing twenty
"acres, entirely surrounded by a beautiful
grove of thrifty white oak timber, consti-
tuting a complete. shelter from the strong
and often piercing winds of Autumn. Right
by the side of the entrance to the camp 1s a
beautiful spring of clear mountain water,
which bubbles up in sufficient abundance to
supply a camp of ten thousand men. The
‘situation is a healthy one, being surrounded
by mountains ‘which purify the air and ren-
der it free from all mulairous diseases. The
ground was selected by our fellow eitizen,
Ira C. Mitchell, who has been appointed
Quarter Master for the brigade. The stents
for the soldiers are mostly constructed out of
boards, are large and will make very com-
‘fortable winter quarters. in case the brigade
should not be maved off’ ill spring opens. —
We understand the brigade is not to be
moved until completely organized and the
men thoroughly drilled. Gen. James isa
man of considerable military experience,
.and is just the man to take commard of this
brigade which promises to constitute a very
‘efficient arm of the military of these United
States. The soldiers entering this brigade
‘receive pay from the very day their names
‘are entered upon the muster-roll, and besides
this sdvantage of the State service, arc en-
titled at the end of the. service to 160 acres
‘of land, the usual hounty and pension, and
their wives and children to the benefit of the
‘Home Relief Fund. The companies forming
in this county will do well to enter this bri-
gade.
Destructive CONFLIGRATION.— On Tues
day, the 10th inst., about 11 o’clock, p. m.,
the large flouring mills at Flemington, two
miles west of this place, were discovered to
‘be on fire on the fifth story of that part of
the mill used for the storage of gram. "Ow-
ing to the great height of the building, and
the headway made by the fire before discov-
‘ered the whole establishment was destroyed.
A detached building used as a cooper shop
was also burned. Almost the entire mova-
ble property, part of the books and papers,
‘and all the valuable machinery and fixtures |
f the mill were lost. This mill was built
in 1855, by Messrs Hagh Conley, W.S.
Woods, John Sterrett, and J.,B. McWil
liams, at a cost of $80,000. It was by far
the most complete structure of the kind in
this part of the State—the main building
bing 50 by 73 and 50 by 100 feet upon the.
ground floor, and five stories {rom the hase-’
ment, with all the modern arrangament for
loading, unloading and elevating grain, and
with additicnal buildings and expenditure
for office room, engine houses. cooper shop
and dockage. Two steam engines of 100
horse power afforded the driving power of
the mill, which was capable of turning out
two hundred barrels of flour per day.—
There was storage room for 50,000 bushels
of grain, and a distillery attached, which
used, when in operation, 200 bushels of
grain per day. :
The destruction of this great property is
a public a5 well as individual loss, and af
feets in this community not only those who
have grain to sell but those who have bread
to buy. The most painful apprehension
exists that the fire was kindled by and in-
cendiary. Since the suspension of opera-
tions at these mills in the winter, their en-
gine has not been in use, and in that part
where fire was first seen, no fire was ever
used, It seems glmost beyond a possibility
that the fire could have resulted without de-
sign on the part of some person or persons.
No more wanton or outrageous act. short of
murder, ever happened in this county. We
trust the perpetrators may be found out.—
We learn that the insurances amount only
to $19, 000.— Clinton Democrat.
Maymors AMBROTYPE CAR.—The arrival
at this place of Thos. J. Taylor, with his
Mammoth Ambrotype Car, will introduce a
new epoch in the history of ambrotyping
and photographing. . Mr, Taylor, having dis-
posed of the car with which he had canvass.
ed almost this entire county, immediately
‘commenced the erection of a much lager one
than the first, one adapted to the develop.
ment of every branch of the art. Having
completed Lis car, he has again commenced
business on a much enlarged basis and with
greatly improved facilities, and from his well
earned reputation as an artist we feel safe
n predicting success to the Mammoth Car
wherever it drops itd steps. Mr. Taylor
occupies at present his old stand on the hill
near the school house, where he will remain
a short time in order to afford our citizens
an opportunity to get a life like picture of
themselves and families.
Caurcr Depiction. —The splended new
church edifice which has just been complet-
ed by the Methodist Episcopal congregation
of Pine Grove; will be dedicated on next
Sunday. Tt has been in course of erection
for bout a year and ranks among the best
chifrch edifices of this county. Several dis-
tinguished ministers are expected to be
present to-assist in the dedicatory services.
A general invitation is extended to the pub-
tic to attend.
AccipENT.—On Monday last, Mr. Lewis
Hass, having left his horse and wagon stand-
ing in front of Frank Hine’s bakery, on
Bishop street, for the purpose of attending
to some business with Mr. Hine, the horse
started off, and Mr. Hass, in attempting to
arrest him was thrown under the wagon,
two’ wheels of which passed ovér him,
seriously injuring him about side, arms and
back.
Dear OF A CrNTRE COUNTY PRISONER.
—James A. Zettle, of Potter's Mills, this
county, who was one the members of Capt.
Hess’ compauy captured by the rebels, near
Martinsburg, in July last, died in Richmond
m one of the prison hospitals, on Monday
last.
RELEASED ON BaiL.— Messrs. Hays and
Lipton, who have been confined in the coun-
ty jail for some time on the charged of .kill-
ing Huston Poorman, were released on Sat.
urday last, having entered bail to the amount
$8000 each.
LATER FROM MISSOURI,
LATER FROM LEXINGTON.
The fight Continued on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Brave Defence by Col. Mulligan.
Sr. Lours, Sept. 20.—A gentleman named
King, who left a point on the Missour: river
opposite Lexington, on Wednesday night,
who arrived bere on this morning, reports
rat a severe fight occurred on Tuesday for
the possession of three ferry boats which lay
ai the levee The Febels, under Price, ad-
vaneed on the boats in two bodies, coe from
abuve and the other from below the town
aud after a very sharpe engagement they
wire repulsed. The boats were not in a fair
vauge of Col. Mulligan’s guns, bis forsifica-
tions being so situated as to prevent him
«rom cammanding them completely, and his
iurce was wo small to admit of his making a
sori againse Price’s overwhelmng numbers.
Mr. King says he suw twelye wagons loaded
with killed and wounded Rebels taken off af-
wer the fight,
lie als) says that Price assaulted Mufli-
80's torts four or five times on Wednesday,
vu. was repuised each time with a loss of
irom three tw four hundred. :
Tue reiutoreements from the North, prob-
ably under Gen. Sturgis, were expected tt
arrive ate oo Wednesday, but as Price bad
obiatued pussession of the ferry boats they
would tot be wble to cross the river, and of
course, could be of little or no service in re-
ueviog Col. Malhigan.
Further Particulars.
Sr. Lours, Sept. 20.
Tae following additional particulars in ref
erence to affairs in Lexington baye been as-
certaived: —
‘Ttie first attack upon the fortificativns is
said to have bean made on Thursday of last,
week, but this is certainly a mistake, as
Piice did nut leave Warrensbarg, forty miles
-outh uf Lexington, until Wednesday night.
Tue attack was probably made on Monday,
as previous stated, with about 8000 men,—
Tue engagement lasted two hours, when the
Rebels were repulsed with the loss o 100
kilied and between 200 and 400 wounded. —
Our toss stated at five killed and several
wout ded.
The fortifications are situated at the edge
if the town, on a bluff overlooking the river.
I'he works are of earth, seven feet high and
twelve feet thick, with a ditch six feet deep
and twelve fee bread, surrounding them. —
Another and smaller work is erected inside,
defended by a ditch—the whole works being
capable of holding ten thousand troops,
I'he attack cn Wednesday was a determin-
ed one, and lasted nearly all day.
The reinforcements from the North, under
Gen. Sturgis, probably number 3000, but
should they Ls unable to cross the river
whieh is quite likely, tho only, 2id they can
vender will be to sweep the Rebela with their
artiliery. lt is confidently hoped, however,
that thie 6000 troops that left Jefferson City on
Wednesday, by steamers, will be able to
land at or near Lexington, and cut their wi y
through the Rebel forces and join A Co'one:
Mulligan, Itis said that Colonel Mulligan
=xpr:gged confidence in being able to bold
his position against any force not move than
ten times greater than his own. :
It was believed at Boonville that Lane had
reached Lexington with reinforcements.

THE LATEST.
SURRENDER of COL. MULLIGAN.
dh
59 Hours without Water.
FULL PARTICULARS OF
THE FIGHT.
eo
Col. Mulligan and all Commissioned
officers Held as Prisoners.
Hubson, Mo., Sept. 23.
The following account of the siege of
Lexington is furnished to the St. Louis
Republican by Henry Bradburn, one of Col.
Mulligan’s soldiers, who left Lexington on
Saturday morning: The fort was sur-
rendered on Friday afternoon. The men
fought fifty nine hours without water, and
had only three barrals of vinegar to quench
their thirst during all that time. There
were no springs or wells of water in the
camp ground, as has been stated. The
supply was from the river, and was cut off
after a desperate fight on Wednesday. The
camp ground consisted of about ten acres,
and was located a short distance from the
river. There were breastworks entirely
around it with the exception of the portion
next the river. It was here the hardest
fighting took place. :
The rebels procured a large number of
hemp bales, rolled them in advance, ard un-
der their cover gradually succeeded in se-
curing a position in the rear. They then
cut off the supply of water, and had the fort
completely surrounded. They made but
few charges upon the breastworks during
the entire siege, their object seemed to sur-
round the fort and cut off the supply of
‘water. Having succeeded in this, they
awaited until Col. Mulligan was compelled
to yield to the foe more terrible than the
twenty-seven thousand rebels that sur-
rounded him. :
Previous to the surrender he offered to
take a position on a level spot of ground
and give Gen. Price the odds of four to one
in a fair and open fight, but no attention
was paid to it. After the surrender the
rebels mounted the breatworks and seemed
mad with joy.
As soon as the surrender took place a
party took down the flag and trailed it in
the dust. An immence amount of gold,
supposed to be about a quarter of a million,
fell into the possession of the rebels. It
was taken from the banks aad buried by
Colonel Mulligan on the camp ground, some
time ago. The rebels speedily unearthed
it.
Col. Mulligan wept like a child when he
found himself compelled to surrender. The
morning after the surrender the men were
all released on parole and ferried acrofs the
river. The officers were retained. The loss
of the rebels is not known, but it is thought
to be not less than a thousand killed and
wounded. Their first attack proved more
disastrous to them than the long siege which
followed for a day or two previous to the last
attack. They were engaged in burying
their dead. :
Cuicaco, Sept. 23.
A special dispatch from Quincy to tho
Journal says that Col. Mulligan has heen
released on parole, will be here this even-
ing. He will remain until Gen. Fremont’s
orders are received,
Gen. Prentiss has telegraped from Brook-
field to the Assistant Quartermaster to
provide subsistance for 2,000 men, and to
have it ready upon their arrival.
The commissioned officers are retained as
prisoners by the rebels.
Quincy, Il, Sept. 23.
A part of Col. Mulligan’s command ar-
rived this evening. The balance, amount-
ing to neamy 2,000, are expected to-morrow.
| Those who have arrived say that the force
at Lexington is only about” 2,500 including
several companies of Ilome Guards, who
are accused of having shown cowardice.
The surrender of Lexington was made at 5
o'clock on Friday afternoon.
The flag was hauled down by the home
guards. Col. Mulligan is spoken of in the
highest terms. He displayed great bravery
during the action, and when asked to sur
render he refused. Ilis sword was taken
away by force.
Col. Mulligan and all the commissioned
officers are held prisoners by the rebels.
RAIL ROAD MASSCRE,
OVER ONE HUNDRED KILLED AND.
WOUNDED.
CINCINNATTI, Sept. 18.
Last night about eight ¢’clock, a train on the
Ohio and Missippi Railroad, containing a portion
of Col. Torchin’s Nineteeth Illinois Regiment,
while passing over a bridge near Huron, Indiana,
143 miles west of Cincinna i, fell through, killing
and wounding over 100 soldiers. The news reach.
ed here late last night, when u special train was
despatched to the assistance of the survivers.
The following despatch has been receivod from
the operator at Hudson, dated ten minutes after
one o'clock this morning. ¢ The bridge No, 18
was broken in twe. Itlet four cars down inlo
the bed of the creek, and one fell on the top of
them. The engine and one car passed over safe-
ly. There are about 100 wounded and 10 or 15
killed. The Colonel of the regiment says there
are about that number killed, although nearly all
of one company are missing.” It is thought the
bridge wa3 weakened by some malicious persons.
CINCINNATI, Sept 18.—The disaster on the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad proves worse than at
first reported. Four passenger cars were preeip-
itated into the creek, and one box and one bag-
gage car fell on top of them, These cars contain-
ained companies E, F, G and I, and the latter,
two companies are the principal sufferers. Capt.
Howard, of company I, is among the killed. Up
to eleven o’clock this morning about thirty killed
had been takea out. and more are supposed to be
beneath the wreck. A train is on the way here
with ninety-two wounded, The impression at the
scene is that there have been from forty to fifty
killed, There seems to be butlittle doubt that the
bridge had been tampered with by malicious or
traitorous persons. The bridge was sixty fect
span and ten feet nigh, and was only recently in-
spected.

The Battle at Boonville,
Jrrrersox City. Mo., Sep. iT.
The correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat
gives the following account of an engagement
with the Rebels at Booneville on the 13th.
Capt. Eppstein says that after the battle had
lasted about an hour the rebels whom he held as
hostages became 80 restless that they begged him
to allow one of their number to go with a flag
of truce to ask.an armistice. This hostage came
back soon afterwards with the request to know wo
my conditions. I thereupon ordered the firing
to cense, and demanded that they should withs
draw the rebel forces {wo miles from the city,
and not moles: any union families, and to leive
the arms of the killed and woundea on the field
where they fell, while I promised to set the pris-
cners which I held, free, with the exception
of Preacher Painter, whom, I informed them I
woulk shoot in case they should not honorably
keep their promise for seven days. They accors
dingly left town
Thus the gallant captain with one hundred and
fifty men, actually dictated his o yn terms to four
times his number.

REBELS—A TTEMPT TO CROSS THE RIV-
ER—THEIR BOAT SUNK.
Kaxsar City, Mo., Sept. 17.—Considerable ex-
citement was occasioned here on Saturday lust, by
the appearance of the Rebel scouts on the oppo-
site banks of the river. A company of twenty-
five mounted men was sent ovr from this place,
who discovered a Rebel camp of from 200 to 300,
six miles distant from the river. An additional
force was detailed in the afternoon, who made
a succcessful attack, killing seven of the Rebels,
capturing six prisoners and their horses, and de-
stroying their barracks. Only one of the Federal
troops was wounded.
