THE WAR*MEASrEES.
.Nothing that has 'yet transpireJ, since
the Houthern traitors commenced a war up
on the star c and stripes, has taken northern
sympathizers with treason more aback than
the almost unanimous vote of both Houses of
Congress tendering the President one hun
dred thousand more men and one hundred
millions more money than he asked for to .
put down the Southern rebellion ! The
few democratic lories who spoke and voted •
against the measure thus stand like living
monuments of infaruy ; whose shame will
descend to their children for many years to
come. Like the Hessians of the Revolu
tion, they will be pointed out in term- of
obloquy as of that infamous band -vho en
deavored to subvert the bc-?t government
on earth, and their names will go down to
posterity coupled with that of the Priuce
of Traitors, Benedict Arnold. The lesson
can also be laid to heart by the unfledged
tories ot this county, i his i.- not a inere
political brawl or tight for office, the bitter
words of which generally pass away with
the decision of the people at the ballot boz
No—it is a question of government, wheth
er the people shall rule, whether our in
stitutions shall stand, and whether law and
and order shad prevail, and ever} - word
and act of Northern sympathizers
Southern traitors will be registered and
rise up in judgement against them and
their children long after the rebellion shall
have passed away and become a matter of
history.
The spirit manifested by Congress is
correct, and wid in the end prove the
shortest and cheapest mode of conquer
ing rebellion. Let the leaders be taken
and hung lii.e sheep thieving dogs—let
the property of every Governor, member
of a Legislature, of the so-called Southern
Congress, and of every officer in arms from
lieutenant up be confiscated- and the South
ern people will be relieved of a band oi
Kibiereanta of whom Satan may well feel
proud, and then go on in a career of peace
and prosperity. Let this be done rigidly
and sternly, and neither this nor the next
five generations will hear of another south
ern rebellion.

WAR NEWS.
Mi-ilary affairs on the Potomac opposite
Washiagton remain without change, so far
as despatches advise us. The report that
the federal forces had occupied Fairfax

The State troops in Missouri, when last

Details of the Eattle of Carthage, Mis
souri
ST. LOUIS, July 1 .—A special messenger
arrived here this evening by the Pacific Rail- j
way d -patches frum Col. S-.-igel to Ad
jutant Harding, at the arsenal.
The f ilowing is an abstract written at
R-.IA ijt the Democrat:
Or. the morning of the otb, Col. Siege!, with
a portion of his regiment, a part of Coi. S i
omon'g, and ten picct-a of artillery, in aii
about I,l'-' to 1,200 men, were attacked Ly
~rebeli under Gen. Raines and Col. P.-ir
g ns, at ut seven tuiles east of Cartilage.—
The enemy Lad many mounted men.
Col. Si*gel began the action at half pa-:
nine iu the in-ruing, breaking the enemy
centre tw.ee, and after hail ar. hour'.- fighting
silence! their artillery. The rebels had
three flag-, one of th State S Miss uri, ar.d
two of the Confederate States. 1. latter
were twice shot down, an I raised no more.
The en rny tried to outflank our troops with
their cavalry, and cut off the retreat of r
baggage, but made a retreating move
merit, keeping a constant tiring, and order d
the baggage train to advance, which wa- form
ed into columns with the batuiAns ..f infant
ry, supported by four pieces of ariiiiery in
front and 011 the Hanks.
The rebels then attempted to cut if Li?
communication with their cavalry, but our
artillery took tbera at a cross fire, which play
ed havoc with their rank?, and opened a road.
Co;, siegel then toil back on Carthage, the
enemy harrasring his Sank up to the i wn,
where another stand was made. The rebels
being in p sses ion of the place, Siegel sur
rounded the town, and throwing shell and
grenad"* ir *o the enemy's cavalrv, and using
his infantry with great effect,
i V hiieattempting to reach an adjacent wood
to prevent the use of their cavalry, the reb >
els n;ade the most seri JUS attack, and there J
the bloodiest part of the battle was fought; ;
hut the entmv was finally routed, and forced
j to withdraw.
Siegel then fell back on Mount Vernon,
where he could be supported. The sole eap
tare yas an officer, who was taken about 5
o cigck. He reported the enemy's loss u ;
near 250; but as the severest fight took place
subse juent to his capture, it is believed their
loss is considerably greater.
forty five prisoners were taken. Our loss '
5 Killed, and 4-3 wounded and missing.
ADDITIONAL PARTICCLARS.
July 11.—Lieutenant Toskin,
Col. Siegel's Adjutant, who comes bearer of
-'"-patches, gives additional particulars of the
battle near Carthage. The state troops were
posted cn a ridge in the prairie with five
pieces of artillery, cavalry on each flank, and
infantry in the rear. The artillery of Col.
hieg<o approached within eight hundred yards
with four cannon in the centre—a body of in
fantry and a six pounder, under Lieutenant
Colonel Hassondare, on the left. Col. Solo
mon's command, with one six pounder, was
on the r;ght, and a body of infantry was also
behind the eentre. The artillery on Colonel
Siegei s left opened fire with shrapnel!, and
soon the engagement became general. The
enemy had no grape, and their artillerists be
ing por r, their balls went over the heads of
the Federal troops.
After two hours' firing the enemy's artil
lery were entirely silenced and their ranks
broken. Aboat 150 of their cavalrv then at
tempted to outflank Col. Siegel and cut off
jis baggage train, which was three miles
oacK, when a retrogade movement was order
ed, ana tne train was reached in good order,
surrounded b; infantry and artillery, and
thus the retreat was continued till a point was
reached where the road passed through a
bluff, on each side of wbieh the enemy's cav
airy was posted in large numbers.
By a feint of intending to past around the
bluff, Col. Siegel drew the cavalry in a solid
body into the road from their position, when,
by a rapid movement of his artillery, hepour*
od a heavy cross fire of cannister shot into
their ranks, and at the same time the infant
ry charged in double-quick time, and in ten
minutes the State forces were scattered in ev- j
ery direction. Eighty-five riderless horses •
' were captured, and sixty-five shot guns, a
comber of revolvers ani bv*ie stives were
picked ap from the ground.
CM. Siegel did not surr.und Carthage, is
reported } -terday, but attempted to reach a
j>ie<ae of • 00.13 on the ntrtb side of the town,
and alter two hour? of desperate fighting, in
which all the foresee on both sides were en
gaged, and in which Lieutenant Toskin thinks
the enemy 3:<§t nearly 200 in killed. Col. S.
succeeded ic reaching the wood, and the en
emy retired to Carthage. Cel. Siege! fell
tack on Sareoxi, whence he proceeded next
day to Mt Vernon.
The messenger met Gen. Sweeney's ecm
mand five miles, and C.i. Br. wn's regiment
sixteen miles, from Mt. Vern .n, pressing for
ward to reinforce Col. Siege!.
Li en tenant Colonel Wciff was net killed,
as first reported.

Official Report of the Battle at Carrack

| 0
the official repj;t of the battle of Carrack
ford, dated
HLTTONSVILLE, Va., July 15, 1801.
Col. L.. 1). Townsend, An t Adj't General:
General Garnett and his forces have been
routed, and his baggage and one gun ta
ken. His army was completely demoralized.
General Garnett was killed while attempting
1 to rally his forces at Carrackford, near St!
George. We have completely annihilated
the enemy in Western Virginia. Our losses
are- but Id killed, while the enemy's losses is
not far from 200 killed, and the number of
prisoners we Lave taken will amount to at
least 1,000. We haTe captured seven of the
enemy's guns in all.
A portion of Garnett's forces retreated, but
I look for their capture by General Hill, who
is in hot pursuit.
The troops that Garnett had under bis com
mand are said to be the crack regiments of
Eastern Virginia, aided by Georgians, Ten
nesseans, and Carolinians. Our success is
complete, and I firmly believe that secession
is killed in this section of the country.
G. B. MCCLELLAX,
Major General U. S. A.
A despatch from Grafton dated July 16,
says: "On coming through the field of bat
tle of Cheat river yesterday with M3j. Gor
don, who had charge of the corpse of Gen.
Garnett, we found that the rebel.- had left the
remainder of their baggage train and artil
lery at a point two miles from St. George.
Word was instantly sent back to Gen. Mor
ris, and all is now probably captured. The
rebels are greatly disorganized and are head
ing for Hardy county. Gen. Garnett's corpse
is now at Grafton awaiting the orders of his
family."
WASHINGTON*, July 16.
As soon as the recent seizures by priva
