Thursday, our publication day being a day of Humiliation and Prayer, we do not issue our paper until Friday. |Y Our good friend Thos. J. Taylor, who is BO well known to our citizens as a Photograph Artist, this week, arrived in our town, with his mammoth Picture Car, which now occupies a place on "free school hill." His car is a magnificent affair.— Being new, large and light, and having been built under the directien of Mr. Taylor, himself, it is better c alculated for taking pictures in, than any place we ever saw. Mr. Taylor has made arrange ments by which he is now ready to take good and durable pictures of all who may favor hi m with a call. Col. Blair an Abolitionist. We have a word to say t the honest mass es of Centre county. The Watchman last week charges ua with being an Abolitionist. We have not room nor space to answer their scurrilous attack. We do not wish to stoop to personalities. With a man's political character, and tkat only, have we to do. In answer to their charge we say that the only Abolitionist now living in this county, of whom we know anythirg, is Col. Blair the traitor Breckinridge candidate for the Sen ne, lie was a member of the first and on ly abolitionist society ever organised In this county. Ilis name stands recorded as Sec retary of the organization. We dare and de fy Col. Blair to contradict it. Honest Dem ocrats of Centre, can you trust him? If he were an abolitionist once, what is he now ? We hope yon will answer at the ballot-box. He hag been an Abolitionist, a Whig, a Dou glas Democrat, and lastly a Breckinridge Democrat, what be will be next we are not prepared to say. Let us not trust him. Let us work like men to keep him at home. He is better here than in the Senate. Henry Johnson, Esq. This gentleman, the competitor of W. n. Brair for the Senate, is now visiting our county. lie is a most excellent man —a good Lawyer, and will, therefore, make a first class Senator. Mr. Johnston is the nom inee of the true Union party of Lycoming and Clinton counties, and will, theretore. be elected by at least eight hundred in the Dis trict. II jnest Republicans, Patriots, Union men of Centre, if you would sustain a relia ble and efficient man, if you desire " a reliae bits" man f. r the Senate, vote for Henry Johnson. If you would maintain and up hold the State and National Administrations vote for IleDry Johnson. If you are in fa vor of the war and its speedy consummation, vote for Henry Johnson. If you desire to put d'iwn speculators and peculators in the State Legislature, vote against W. 11. Blair and prevail upon your friends to do the same. He is a speculator. The record of the Court will prove what he will do to make money. The heirs of a cortain man in Bald Enc'.s Valley will testify to the fact of his tfving to cheat them ont rf all they were worth. Repudiate him if you loyu honesty, virtue, manhood and principle. Vote for Henry Johnson ,a reliable man against whom even the traitor papars of the district dare not sav o word.

This gentleman, who, as will be seen by the proceedings of the Conferee meeting, which we publish to-day, has been placed in nomination as the Union candidate for Sen ator, has for the last twenty years occupied a prominent position and taken an active part in the public affairs of this county and State. In these times of national peril, the people will put to a searching investigation, the characters and claims of all candidates, and especially of those who are named for the responsible position of Legislators, to be entrusted for the three ensuing years, with the destiny, in part, of this great Common wealth, and through her action, of that of the great Confederacy, of which sue is the Keystone. It has been the custom in past times, to confide with great reliance, upon such persons, as by their ancestrial relations, are supposed to be more intimately connec ted and associated with the struggles and hardships of the Revolution. And if ever these were justly entitled to consideration, they appeal with peculiar emphasis, and pre-eminence of that liberty and indepen dence which the revolutionary war establish ed. We subjoin, therefore, the following memoir of one of those distinguished soldiers who largelv participated in that eventful era, contributing much to the gl >ry of his native §tate of Pennsylvania, and to whom, when in extreme peril, the settlers of Muncy Val ley, were as it will show, greatly indebted. It is taken from De Mass's History aad In dian Wars:— It has with much truth been said "that the history of the Revolution, is not written and cannot be, till the biographies of the men who made the Revolution are complete.' This is eminently true of the great struggle in the west. The conflict here was with the tomahawk and scalping knife, united to the arm of scientific warfare. It was one in which the remorseless savage stole upon the infant settlements in the stilloess of the night and dealt death .in all the horrid forms of his peculiar and revolting warfare. It was a war terrible indeed to man, but more ter rible still to gentl* wo i," and most terrible to helpless infanty. To defend the conn ,y „ unst the ravages ofsuchawar, required men of iron nerve and determined will. To lead on these men to victory and success, demanded others of no ordinary character. But there were men fitted to the task : men able, ready, and wil ling to lead and to strike. It was to the energy of this defence; the skill, bravery and consummate judgement of these able of ficers, and experienced frontier soldiers, that the West was saved from the diabolical sys tem of subjugation, meditated by the Bri tish ministry. One of the men most prominent in this de fense. and one who contributed greatly tow ards breaking down power of the eavoge, and humbling the dominion of Britain, Was Daniel Brodhead, the subject of this memoir. Gen. B, was a man of acknowledged abil ity and great energy of chaiaoter. He early gave indications of much promise and fore shadowed the career of honor and and use fulness, which he afterwards run. Scarcely bad the news of the battle of Lexington ceas* ed agitating tho people, ere Gapt. B. muster ed a company, and marched to the defence of the seaboard. He joined Sullivan, and at the battle of Long Island, his brave " Penn sylvania Riflemen" literally cut their way through the ranks of the enemy. In the fall of 1777, information having been given that the Indians meditated a united attack upon the settlements along the upper Susquehanna, vigorous efforts were made to resist them. In the spring of 1778, Fort Muncy was evacuated, as well as Amis' and Horn's forts above, the inhabitants tak ing refuge at Sunbury. The savages destroy ed Fort Muncy, but did not penetrate near Sunbury, their attention having been direct ed to the memorable descent upon Wyom ing. '• Shortly after the big runaway, (as it was called,) Col, B. was ordered up with a f rce of 100 or 150 men to rebuild Fort Muncy. and guard the settlers while gather ing their crops, which servioa he performed." —Historical Col. of Pa., 452, Shortly after this Col. B. was ordered to Pittspurgh to relieve Gen. Mcintosh, in command of the western divisioo of the army. Ilis appoint ment was communicated in a very compli mentary letter, from Gen. Washington, He again wrote to him, ncder date of 22d same month, that an incursion into the coun try of the Six-nations was in preparation, end that in connection therewith, it might be advisable to have a force ascend the Alle gheny to Kittanning, thence to Venango, and having fortified both points, then strike the Mingoes and Munceys on French craek, and thus greatly to aid Gen. Sullivan in the decisive blow which he was to give by his march up the Susquehanna. He further directed Col. B. to notify the western Indi ans, that in the event of any troubles on their part, the whole force of the United States should be turned against them. On the 21st of April, however, these orders were coun termanded, and Col. B. directed to prepare a rod for the savages north and west of the Ohio, and especially to learn the best time for attacking Detroit. Whether this last ad vice came too late or was withdrawn again, we have no means of ascertaining. Brod head proceeded, as at first direcrpd ; march ed up the Allegheny, destroy'. 'ho Indians' crops, burned their towns, eii- Tbe immediate effect of tins pr. mpt and energetic movement on the part of the west ern commander was to bring Dalawares, Wyandotte, ShawaDese, &c , to a treaty of peaoe at Fort Pitt in the month of Septem ber, to which reference has already been made. It had long been apparent to Washington aDd tbe Board of War, that the possession of Detroit and Niagara by the British, enabled them to exert a controlling influence over most of tbe Indian tribes occupying the northwest; and thus greatly to annoy the frontiers settlements of Pennsylvania and Virginia. Col. 8., soon after assuming the duties of commander of ths ffsstern division, clearly THE CENTRE HEMOCRAT. saw the absolute necessity of striking an effective blow against these two strong-holds of the British. In a letter to Washington, dated Fort Pitt, Jan. 23d, 1781, he writes thus : " The whole ol my present force very little exceeds three hundred men, and many of them are unfit for such active service as is necassary here. I hope your excellency will be pleased to enable me to take Detroit the ensuing campaign ; for until that and Niagara fall into our hands, there will be no rest for the innocent inhabitants, whatever sums may be expended on a defensive plan." Privious to this, Washington, in a letter to Col. 8., dated April 21, 1779, in reply to his request to fit out such an expedition, direct ed him to make the necessary preparations ; but, on the 4th of January following, wrote to countermand the order, in consequence of the operations in South Carolina, and bis inability to reinforce Fort Pitt, in case of disaster. Feb. 4tb, 1780, he again declined a compliance with Col. B.'s renewed and urgent solicitation, on the grouud that his regular troops would all be needed to co-oper ate with our French allies. The want of provisions too, at that time, was greatly felt which Washington alluded to, adds, "You must therefore, of necessity, confine yourself to partizan strokes, which I wish to see en couraged, The State of Virginia is very de sirous of an expedition against Detroit, and would make great exertioos to carry it into execution. But while the enemy are so for midable to the southward, and are making such strides in that quarter, I fear it will require a greater force of men and supplies to check them thao we, since the defeat near Camden, shall be able shortly to draw to gether." The desire of Col. B. to undertake the re duction of Detroit, was thus regretfully de clined by commander-in-c! ief, and the wishes of Virginia, and indeed the whole country, disappointed. In the SpriDg of 1781. Col. B. led an ex pedition against the Indian towns on the Muskingum ;a full account of which haying been elsewhere given in this volume, it will be unnecessary to notice further now. Near the mouth of Broked straw creek, a tributary of the Alleghany, stood the Indian townol Buckaloon. In 1781, Col. B. attack ed this etroDgbold of the enemy, and after a hard siege, finally routed the savages and burfied *he town. We regret our inability to notice in detail all his expeditions. They were numerous and expensive enough to fill a volume. No better officer could have been selected for the arduous post of cemmander of the western division of the army. It required a man bold, cautious and sagacious, and Col. B. was the very embodiment of all these. He prov ed himself admirably qualified for the most trying situations, and aquitted himself with distinction, and to the entire satisfaction of the commander-in-chief. In November, 1781, with the consent of Washington, he re linquithed the post into the hands of Col. John Gibson, a gallant Virginian, who had done active duties on the frontier. Col. B. negotated during bis residence in the west, two important treaties; the one was concluded July 22, 1779, with deputies of the Cherokee nation. In this treaty, inti mations were given out of a native represen tation in Congress, and a new Indian confed eracy with the Delewares as the head. Congress passed Col. B. a unanimous vote of thanks for the highly satisfactory manner in which he had discharged bis duties on the western frontier. Gen. B. received many marks of distinc tion from the State of Pennsylvania. He was a surveyor-general for many years, and filled other places of honor and profit. He was a large, robust man, kind, genorons and amiable. He died at Milford, Pa., Nov. 15, 1809, at the age of seventy-three. The por trait which accompanies this memoir is from a miniature now in possession of his great grandson, Henry Johnson, Esq., a prominent member of tho bar in Northern Pennsylva nia. It gives us pleasure, thus to recall the memory of the great men of the "times that tried men's souls Dot only for the purpose of the ensuing election ; but because it may serve as an incentive to the men, who are now engaged in the field ; conveying to them, as it does, the assurance that tbeir memory will also become a part of the na tional treasure house in the future. llenry Johnson is emphatically a self made man, haviDg none of the auiliaries of wealth or family connections, to push him forward. When an infant, it was his misfortune, to lose, by death his father and only brother, lie was reared and educated by his now aged mother, with whom and uis sisters, he re moved and settled in the borough of Muncy in 18141, and where continued with them to the present time. They together wtti his wife and two little daughters, constitute his household, and the duty of guarding over them has been the only obstacle that has hitheito prevented him from entering tbß ranks of the army; and we are assured that if the exigencies of the war shall require the sacrifice of these ties, be holds himself ready and willing. Seldom has a lawyer hung out his shingle with less to encourage and cheer him. Without an acquaintance in the ooun> ty cf Lycoming, with a cash capital of only sl3, 84, and a library cons istiDg of MoKin ney's Pennsylvania Justice, and Purdon'3 Digest,, but confident of his own powers, and snd self reliant, he determined to carve out a successful future for himself. With such a spirit, failure was impossible. Tn the prac tice of his arduous profession, though always zealous aud persevering, in the cause of his clients, he has probably given as little offence as any other advocate, who has bad the man agement of as much business, as has been du ring a period of 20 years entrusted to In 1848 be was placed on the Taylor and Fillmore Electoral Ticket, by the Whig Scate Convention, and having been elected, "enjoy ed the high honor of giving votes wbioh re suited in making two of the best Presidents, the Union has ever had. His qualifications j for the position of Senator are Dot disputed by any one, and he is in every respect, up to the standard contained in tbe resolution adopted by tbe Union<Jonvention, which firs* nominated him "entirely unexceptionable, eminently patriotic and worthy of universal support." To adopt bis own language at this meeting, he is "for the Union, one and inseparable, now, and forever, and if neces sary to sustain it, for the expenditure of the last dollar, and the sacrifice of the last man." His selection by the great Mass Con* vention, composed of the best men of both parties, and from all parts of Lycom ing County, is the best endorsement of his private and public character, that eould be given, and further comment by us is unnec essary. His election by an overwhelming majority, may be confidently predicted. When Will This Rebellion End ? To-morrow, if the Rebels lay down their arms. It is a matter entirely for the traitors themselves lo decide, and we firmly believe that if there bad been no sympathy shown for this outbreak by northern sympathisers, it would have ended as Secretary Seward predicted, in sixty days from its origin and development. Its main strength and en. couragement came from tbe traitors in tbe north. It was encouraged to arms by prom ises of assistance from the north, while the very arms now in the hands of the rebels, were either the voluntary contribution of northern political allies, or stolen from the forts and arsenals of the country during a democratic administration by democratic officials. The question then, of when this war is to end. must alone be answered by tbe rebels. So far as the government is con cerned, and knowing the loyalty of those who support and rally around the government, we can safely declare that the war will nev er be ended, except in the manner' we have stated, the complete subjugation of the south or the utter destruction of tbe powers of this government, military and civil. There can be no peace between these states until the federal authority is restored upon every foot of their territory. There can be no order in this Union until all the lawß of the land en forced among all tbe laws of the nation. — When all this is done, the war will end Until it is done, tbe armies of the govern ment will te rallied for its achievement, and a battle will be fought whenever there is a rebel host to dispute their progress or deny the authority tbey now seek to outrage and disgrace, lay down their arms and re turn to their former peaceful pursuits, the war will end, order will be restored to socie ty, security will return to business, and the Union once more assume its proud position before the nations of the world. To talk of peace, and all this still unaccomplished, is to make a mockery of the genius of free gov ernment. To talk of Compromise, is forev er to destroy the force and power ana ma | jeety of the law. There wit! he no peace un til traitors are punished to the full extent of the law, and when this is done the war will end.— Harrisburg Telegraph Maj. John H. Stover. We clip tbe following compMmentary no tice of our fellow townsmen John 11. Stover, a d our friend Col. Wise, from the Philadel phia Evening Journal. We feel honored ourself whenever any of Centre county's no ble sons are honored. We rejoice in their elevation. We hope our friend Capt. Stover may prosper, live through tbe war, and than be honored by bis countrymen lor his brav ery and patriotism. THE KEYSTONE REGIMENT. This regiment, now organizing at the buildings of the old Pennsylvania Bank, promises to make one of the most efficient of the Pennsylvania Reg iments accepted into the service. Its officers are Colonel, Peter A. Wise, of Willinmsport, Pa; | Lieut. Colonel, E. R. Badger, of Philadelphia; Major, Jno, H. Stover, of Bellefonte, Pa., all men of military knowledge and experience. When President Lincoln, in April last, made his requisi tion for volunteers, Major Stover was prostrated on a bed of sickness. Believing that " sick" was " played out," and against the positive advice of his physician, he raised a company, and proved one of the most active officers on tho upper Poto mac. Although sacrificing large business inter ests, being District Attorney of Centro county, he feels it his duty not to leave the service in this, the hour of his country's peril, and we think the officers of the Keystone Regiment did wisely in electing him to the important office of M. jor. Extract from the Last Speech of Stephen A. Douglas. " The conspiracy to break up the Union is a fact now known to all. Armios are being raised, and war levied to accomplish it. Theie can be buttro sides te the controversy. Every man must be on the side of the United States or against it. ihere can be no neutrals in this war. There can be none but patriots and traitors." Honest Democrats of Centre, we ask yeu in all candor, to compare the above extract with tbe treasonable peace articles which have filled the columns of the Democratic Watchman for the last three or four months, and then ask yourselves the question: Who was right? Stephen A.Douglas, when he uttered the above language almost with his dying breath, or these proprietors of the Dem ocratic Watchman, to wit: S. T. Shngert, J. T. Hoover, Dr. Strohecker, John Hoffer and Cyrus Alexander —the last named g3ntleman having claimed, last fall, to be par excellence tbe disciple of Douglas. Mr. Prcudfoot, we think, should also be one of the propri etors of this paper. Can the clique not man age in some way to get him in ? Further comments are unnecessary. Hon. S. A. Dou glas bit the nail on the head when be said " There can be no neutrals in this war.— The re can be none but patriots and trait ors." Let the people be careful for whom they vote. • Important from Kentucky. War Declared against the Rebels by the Legislature. FRANKFORT, Sept. 19. War is declared. The Legislature to-day adop ted resolutions inviting Gen. Anderson to take command of the department of Cumberland, and also passed resolutions that the invaders must be expelled , that Gov. Magoffin must call out a suffi cient force to do it, opposing the confiscation of property and emancipation of negroes, and plac ing the troops under the immediate command of Brig. General Crittendon, of the Home Guard (Union.) The deepest feeling prevails, and excitement runs high. All the State arms, munitions of war, etc., will be placed under the control of General Ander son. If the Governor refuses to approve the resolu tions it will only delay action one day. Very affecting speeches were made, and the tears flowed freely. Unanimity of sentiment is all that is wanting. LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. Mr. Stanton, (Republican), Elected Gov ernor. TEXANS EMIGRATING TO CALIFORNIA. A VAST FIELD OF GOLD. OUTER STATION, PACIFIC TELEGRAPH, WEST OF FORT KEARNEY, Sept. 1. —The Pony Express passed here at 5 P. M.' with San Francisco dates to Sept 7 th. The markets are generally firm and healthy, with no important sales since the election. The immense Union rote has dispersed all fears of any domestic disturbance, and there is every pros pect of an early and profitable fall trade. The returns from the State election are still in complete, the vote of the whole State will be abont 120,000. As far as lieord from Mr. Stam ford (Rep.,) has 48,000 votes ; the Union Demo cratic candidate 25,000, and McConnel (BrecK.,) 19,400. The balance of the vote will not materi ally v try from the above proportion ate vote. The United States Mai shall, yesterday, seized the ship Henry Bringbam, which bad just arrived from Liverpool. He also seized 200 tons of coal on board, which were shipped on the owner's ac count, as welt as the freight on *he balance of the cargo, consisting of upwards of 800 tons of coal. The ship is owned by non-residents, the brothors Lathr-p, of Savannah, Qa., though in the Ameri can Lloyds she is registered as wned by Natmaler A Mulford, of that place. She was built in 1851, by B. A S. Sprague A Co., of Boston, and was then named the Telegraph. While at Savannah, in 1859, she was burned, and there re-built, when her name wos changed to the name she now be irs. She is a clipper model, registered 1.009 tons, and Tier value estimated at JO,OOO. Her 200 tons car go, and freight money on the balance, after pay ing seamec's wages, and probably captain's wages also, are confiscated. The ship Benefactor was alse seized, on the ground that one-eighth of the vessel is owned by parties residing in Virginia. She was, however, promptly released on filling the proper bonds at the Custom House. Seven-eighths of this ship are owned by Lowe Brothers, of New York, and is now under charter to sail for China, carrying a large and valuable cargo. The steamer Caraie Ladd arrived at Portland, September 2d, bringing 27,000 in gold dust from the Nez Perces mines. Tbe Indians are reported as peaceable, and the recent alarm sounded about the danger of Indian hostilities on a large scale is evidently an exaggeration. The correspondent of the Doll Mountaineer says it is demonstrated beyond dispute that the whole region of country embraced between the Cascade and hocky Mountains is one vast gold field, and only required development to revolutionize that entire copst. An area of 32,000 square miles has been sufficiently prospected to establish the exis tence of mineral wealth. Exploring parties have been fitted out for the Elk country and Bitter Rooc valley, where large pr spects are anticipa ted. The near approach of winter renders a post ponement of emigration to that quarter advisable, but in the spriDg these will probably be another gold rush. Ladies Knitting Association. Pursuant to notice the officers of the Bellefon to Ladies Knitting Society" met at the residence of Wm. Humes Esq., on Monday evening 23rd inst., when the followirg resolutions were unanimous ly adopted. Resolved . Ist, That we do hereby call upon the Ladies of the different townships to form knitting societis to provide socks for our brave soldiers as the State authorities are unable to meet the demand in time. Resolved, 2d. That wo do earnestly request the co-operation of the Ministers of the different con gregations in the county, and that they assist us by speaking of the matter in their pulpits on the coming Sabbath, and urging upon their congre gations the importance of dispatch. Retolxed, 3d. That a'l ladies who feel able and willin.', are requested to furnished yarn and knit socks (one pair or more); and any who have not time to knit, to make donation of yarn or money ; and any one who will knit but do uot feel able to furnish the yarn, to apply to the President of the society and yam will be given them. Resolved, 4th. That the ?rst supply of socks aiusfbe ready to be sent to the war department by the first week of Nove nber, and the Presidents of the different societies throughout county are re quested to send their donations to Mrs. Wm. Humes President of the Bellelonte society by that time. Resolved. sth. That the President appoint com mitties to wait upon every lady in our district to ascerialn what assistance sho will render. The socks are to be at least itb in weight, and it is recommended that no white yarn be used.— They will be sent to the military store in tlarris burg and 25 cci ti per. pair will be paid to the society. This sum will be placed i I the hands of the County Treasurer, and he will credit to each Township the amount due them, to be added to the soldiers Relief Fund, thereby lessening the tax let ied for said fund. The Presidents of the different societies are requested to report to the President of this, immediately after organization. For any further information ladies are reques- Isd to address the President of this society. JENNIE F. McBRIDE, Secretary Pro Tem. REBECCA VALANTINE, Kec. Secretary. MRS. WM, HUMES, Pre ident. JISTJIRTEIJYG REPORT. Ecpcwtcd Sur render of the Gallant dulxi g-an. ■IUS MEN COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED CHICAGO, Sept. 22. —A special despatch to the Times , sent troin Quincy, Illinois, at 10 o'clock this (Sunday) morning, says the mail agent of the llannibat and Sr. Joseph Rail* road, who arrived at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening from St. Joseph, states that Colonel Mulligan and his whole command at Lexing ton surrendered to Gen. Price on Friday morniDg at 5 o'clock. The Beige continued from Monday until the time of the surrender. Col. Mulligan's men were without water all day on Thurs day, and Friday morning found them com pletely exhausted. They fought vailantly and desperately, but were compelled to yield to vastly superiors numbers. The number of Union troops killed is said to be from eight to nine hundred, while that of the Rebels is estimated at some three or four thousand and with a proportionate num bor of wounded. The report of the above battle and its un fortunate result is fully corroborated by pas sengers on the same train. The news was brought by stage to Hamilton, which is the nearest point on the railroad to Lexington, being torly miles. Of the fact of the surrender there can be no doubt. A special despatch to the Chicago Tribune, from head quarters at St. Louis, received this (Sunday) evening, says the surrender of Mulligan is not believed there; but that re inforcements were pushing towards him from four different directions. ANOTHER REBELDEFEA T. Nearly Two Hundred Rebels Kill ed and Wounded. STILL LATER FROM LEXINGTON. REBELS SCATTERED R YA BRA VE IRISH REGIMENT. KANSAS CITV, Sept. 20.—At headquarters it is supposed that the force of Mulligan at Lexington is 3,500, consisting of an Irish regiment, Colonel Mulligan's 900 meifl Col. Marshall Illinois caval ry 600 men, and a Kansas regiment number not known, five hundred mounted home guards, five hundred infantry, (hi me guards.) together with three six pounders, one howitzer and two mor tars. Advice by prive letter from Lexington to-day say Price attacked the federals at 10 A. M. yes terkay, with a force of 30,000. The federal forces are estimated at from three to four .thousand. The federal fought them two hours, when the secessionists drove them back in to their entrenchments. The Irish regiment then came out and charged them at point of bayonet, scattering the rebels in all directions. Price was to attack them again this morning with seventeen pieces of artillery. Ko statement of lees on either side is given. The Surrender of Lexington. FURTHER PARTICULARS. MULLIGAN'S MEN FIFTY-NINE HOURS WITHOUT WAEER. HUDSON, MO., Sept. 23. The fort was surrounded or. Friday afternoon. The men fought for forty-nine hours without water and had only three barrels of vinegar to quench ; their thirst. There are no wells or springs on the camp ground as has been stated, the supply of water being en tirely from the river There were breastworks all around the camp with the exception oi the portion next the river.— It was here that that the hardest fighting was done. The rebels procured a large number of hemp bales and rolled them in advance and under tbeir cover gradually suceeded in securing a position in the rear. They the cut off the supply of water and had the fort completely surrounded. They made but few charges upon the breast works during the seige. Their objeet was to sur round the fort and cut of the supply of water. Having accomplished this, they ewaited until I Col Mulligan was compelled to yield to a foe more terrible then the 27.000 rebels who surrounded 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 ffght, but no attention was paid to it. Rout of the Rebels at Blue Mills. KANSAS CITY, Sep'. 19. Fifteen hundred men, under Col. Smith, overtook 3,000 seces sionists as they wpre crossing at BLe Mills Landing, on the 17th, and completely routed them, between 150 and 2CO, and taking 12 prisoners.
