Cup after cup of this infusion was administered, more water being occasion ally poured into the pot—but no more tea! No wonder that the French prefer their coffee, with its fragrance and flavor, to such a sorry substitute for tea. The only French man we ever knew with the slightest idea of making tea waß that noted cook, the great Alexis Soyer. He took about an ounce of tea, which be spread over a large dining-plate, and put into the oven for a few minutes. When the tea was hot and crisp, with a deli- cate fragrance elicited by the operation, he put it into a large tea-pot, and nearly filled that with boiling water, of the temperature which is sometimes called screeching hot. The tea-pet was then allowed to rest for five minutes on “the hob,” with its spout looking out into the room, (it inhales fire-smoke if the handle face the spectator,) and this was suf- ficient time fox it to draw. Never was better tea brewed, and any person can make it. There are about fifteen first-class restau- rants in Paris. We speak from recollection — say of ten years past—and know not what changes may have taken place since. In 1851 at any rate, seven—a magical number—wero pre eminent in the highest category of Pa- risian restaurants —namely, the Cafe de Paris, Grignon’s, the. Trois Freres Provenoaux, Very’s, Vefour’s, the Bocher de Gancale, and the Grand Vatel. As regards the per lection of cookery, the palm may he awarded to the Rocber. In classing restaurants, one must be guided by several elements —cookery, expense, ser vice, company, and apartment. In cookery, the Bocher has never been surpassed; in the other elements it is rather inferior to the other six places above-named. One dines at the Bocher to witness the perfection of the cuisine: but, for ordinary life, even the epicure will fare sumptuously at either of the others. Our own favorite house was the Grand Vatel—bat we ate ignorant Whether this temple of good living be still In existence. Over its entrance was the monumental inscription, Au Grand Yatel. Not Emmerich Yattel, the well known writer on International law, hut Yatel, the great cook, the glory of the reign of Lonis the Fourteenth. The Cafe de Paris stands at the Boulevard des Italians. In the spacious rooms, lofty ceilings, rieh furniture, snow-white table-linen, and floors polished until the wood reflects your image, dike a mirror, the place is one, which it has alwayß struck us, no gentleman should enter without previons purification—a bath scented with delicate perfume, and in full evening dress. Its gargons have clear com plexions, as if their digestion and conscience weTe good, and the dame-du-comptoir, to whom yon how on entering and quitting her presence, and whose well-formed fingers make Up your account, looks as mellow as if she had bathed in cream half an hour before. Here, the company is composed of fashionable ladies and gentlemen. Here, a new fashion is often introduced into the world. Here, nobles and ministers, officers and civilians come and dine, before proceeding to the opera. But there is too much noise and motion about this restau- rant for the solemn, important, and interest, lng operation of dining—a thing not to be hastily or earelessly performed, hut with a grave and enjoyable deliberation. A tranquil epicure, who values good digestion, and there fore does net like to have it disturbed by street shouts and the - rattling of carriages, will scarcely dine at the Cafe de Paris, though the viands are excellent, and the service good. By the way, the charges here are high. You pay handsomely for the renown of dining in this house. A good breaklast is procurable here. We remember its omelettes with a ten der and regretful emotion. Wholly out of the world, yet close to its hustle, is Gregnon’s. In the Passage Vivi enne, an ample doorway discloses a broad staircase, which, by a gentle ascent, brings yon upon the second floor. This is Grignon’s —an immense establishment, with its twenty large and small dining apartments. The latter are generally plain and unadorned, tbongb scrupulously neat and clean. The public sa loon, however, has an air of well-bred qniet and luxurious taste which favorably im presses the visitor. Its cnrtains fall in thick and heavy folds, and its mirrors are not too numerous. Lit up with gas, it looks like a baronial hall. There may be those who think that Grignon’s is a little too qniet—a trifle too stiff and silent. There is too much staring at people’s entrances and exits. The fact is, the gnests are only one half French, and therefore, in the presence of Americans and English, the natural abandon of the na tives is kept down. Every one seems stiffly intent on carrying out the proprieties, in a stuck-up manner. The truth of this we have repeatedly tested by going from Grignon’s into a characteristic French cafe. It is a com plete emancipation -a transition from chains to freedom. The service at Grignon’s is slow, like that at the Rocher. The cookery is good —but those who disliko an excess of cayenne pepper will shun the entrees. The wines are superior—but high priced. Indeed, in Paris, as in all other places, whatever is good is also high-priced. This stands with respect to other things than wine. Cheapness and goodness are incompatible—except with respect to ve getables and trait, which are best and cheapest when most abundant. The Trois Frares Provengaux is situated in the northern extremity of the Palais Royal* It takes its name from three culinary brothers who established it. The rooms are not very large, bnt are adorned with numerous arched mirrors, between which are refreshing pictures of landscapes. As yon dine there, you have a look out into the gardens upon some ot the gayest summer scenes iu Europe. With what we have always considered a truly scientific Idea, a barometer hangs near the door, whereby those sensitive in digestion may re gulate their diet with reference to any indi- I cated change of weather. The prices are i high here, —but the cookery is wonderfnl. Very’s is also in the Palais Royal, only a few steps from the Trois Frsres. Very’s is better known, by reputation all over the world, than At Very’s, there are two grand salons—one on the first, the other on the second floor. Taken by itself, neither may he pronounced an absolute chef d’ceuvre, hut, taken with all its multiplications through twenty immense mir rors, it may be safely considered so. It is to restaurants what Veron’s fine saloon (Boule vard Montmartre) is to cafes. Its floor is of purer marble; its chandeliers more rich in beauty; its mirrors more large and numerous; its gilding more rich; its arabesques more lovely. He who enters it for the first time, when it is fully illuminated, must pause in rap ture and surprise. No palace from the lamp of Aladdin could have arisen to your fancy, in the splendor and dazzling beauty of this fifty times reflected scene. The room will accom modate eighty diners. The plate is in good order and abnndance; the napery, evidently country washed and country bleached, has a charming natural smell, as of heather-bells and fields of lavender; and the carte is bound in a handsome volume, with brass bosses, like the old tomes which are reputed to contain the rarest treasures of human thought. Their two dames-du-comptoir are always beautiful—al ways attired like princesses. After all, Very’s is not up to its former reputation. The fact is, too many English frequent and hare spoiled the house. The art of cookery is decidedly spirituelle —but the English solid dishes are as decidedly material. With great shrewdness did Charles V. say: “Tell me wbat a man eats, and I will tell you what he thinks.” Had Dr. Johnson this in his mind, when he said, “ He who drinks beer, thinks beer ?” Vofonr’s is next to Very’s. Tho window, rich in game and fruits, is exactly such a won derful bit o t “ Mill life ” as George Lance would glory in painting. No wonder that, very often, a glanco thereat wins the epicure away from Very’s. The rooms at Vefonr’s are not very large, but are gilded and painted with like dazzliDg and fanciful brilliancy. We have-yet to describe two other restau rants—and those, the best, are the Bocher de Gancale, called after the oysters which bear the name of Cancale, and said to be the finest in Europe. The Grand Vatel, where we pur pose taking the reader to dine with ns, ere we conclude these Parisian sketches, has passed away, we tear, within the last decade. In 1848, it received a blow. In 1851, however, it had apparently recovered. Has it been broken np? We shall postpone onr notices of the Rocher and the Grand Vatel. Mean while, a few words upon eating. Man is the only animal that cooks. Therein lies the great difference between him and the brute. Therefore, as has been said, there is reason in roasting eggs. By the way, Bob Fudge gratefnlly records his attachment and gratitude to France, in the following words: “Though many, I own, are ths evils they’ve brought r.s, Though Royalty’s here on her very lint legs, Yet who oau help loving the land that has taught us Six hundrsd and eighty-five ways to dress eggs?” M. de la Regniere’s words are: “We know in France 685 different ways of cooking eggs; without connting those which our savans are daily imagining.” (On connoit en France 685 manieres defferentes d’accommoder les ceufs; sans compter celles que nos savans imaginent chaque jour.) In France, where a man eats slowly, and does not boll his food without chewing, indi gestion is almost unknown. With ns, who, as a people, eat very rapidly, geod digestion is the exception. Good cooking and slow eat. ing are the greatest aids to health. It is an insult to a good dinner, or even to a middling one, to eat it as a ploughboy would _gat his lumps of bread and cheese, or his fat pork and beans. No! to dine should be done with gravity and deliberation. A Visit to Bethlehem. [Correspondence of The Freis.l But yesterday, and we took onr departure by way ot the North Pennsylvania Rail road—onr point ot destination being Beth, lehem. Passing some forty miles or more through a fine country, varied in scenery, with numerous small townß and villas, we at length found ourselves winding onr course np the well-known Lehigh Valley. When within perhaps some fifteen miles of Bethlehem, we began to discern in the distance the dim out line of mountain scenery. Nearer and nearer, as we approached the scenic handiwork of Him who hath lifted up the mountain-top and spread ont the fair valley, all wore the sub lime aspect of more than human genius to conceive, or of human skill to portray. The picture—mountain-top and gorge j the gentle acclivity or more graceful slope ; the valley below, so fair and beantifnl, conld - not, we think, he beheld by any one (having a soul) without stirring impnlse of admiration and true delight. We arrived at this beautiful little town “ set upon a hill,” and were courteously entertain, ed, lor a time, at one of the well kept hotels. These houses, judging from the. number of visitors present, are well sustained. Our stay here was replete with interest and pleasure, and will ever afford pleasing and joyous recol lections. I feel safe in the assumption that there is, perhaps, no place within the same distance of our city (a journey of only three hours) that will a fiord the searcher after pleasure or re. creation greater attractions and profit thin a visit to Bethlehem. The groveß and shaded grounds adjacent to the town, especially « Wbißky Hill,” affords a place of retreat, for retirement and medita tion, or of delight to the pleasnre-seeker. Here, amid the cooling shade, the gentle breeze, and animating rippling of the Lehigh river (as it flows near the base of the hill, whose side and summit overlooks majestically the river and canal, affording a commanding view of the mountains opposite), one may surely find a spot where care durst not enter, and where peace seemeth to flow as a river. To the man of art and science the zinc mines and smelting works here contribute to the general interest. The return views of this route surpass even the upward. Leaving the station homeward. bound, and after having passed a few miles on our way, the spectacle was truly grand. It was P- M., and a dim azure hue filled the atmosphere, greatly enhancing the beauty of the far-off panoramic view. The eye could take in at one stretch an expanse for miles and miles, and trace, in the dim distance, the well-defined tops, but irregular outline, of the mountain-chain, diversified in appearance, and beautifully picturesque. The very emerald of the mountain summits, and the azure-vaulted arch above, to the beholder seemed to meet and embrace each other, as though “ Union” were the decree of both Heaven and earth. A sinaopHAOus, intended for the mauso leum at Frogutore, has arrive* in London. It will enolose the ooffins containing the remains of her late itoyal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and is of bluo marble ot vory Hue quality. The principal part is formed from a bloat of some six tons in weight, hollowed out to the requisite depth entirely by the ohisel 0 1 one end there in a monogram ot the letters Alpha and Omega, eesiieltd by a ser pent, exsouted in the early Christian symbollo style, and on the bevel of the top, on one side an inscription in Boglish, setting forth the titles, age, Ao., of her late Ksyal Highness, an inscription in Herman oooupying the other side Hoh. Amos Kkhdali, Is now sojourning at Bridgeport, Conn , where he is engaged In writing the life of President Jaoksoa. We must not lose sight of the fact that tho precise day of the battle was not revealed to the regiment, and, from the report of Gene ral McDowell, it appears that the exact day tor the battle was, until nearly the last mo ment, a matter of uncertainty even to himself. For he says that, owing to hindrances which be could not surmount, the attack was post poned from the 19th to the 20tli, and then again to the 21st. The regiment was not as/eed to remain to fight a battle on the 21st, or cm any other par ticular day—a battle was not even mentioned in the request. But the regiment was re quested to consent to remain beyond their time for an indefinite period, “ not to exceed two weeks.” This request was made on the 20th. Had the regiment been informed that a battle was immediately impending, no one acquainted with those troops will donbt their willingness to have remained for such a pur pose, or the fidelity and courage with which they would have performed their parts. It may, indeed, be literally true, as General McDowell states in his report, that “ when tho army moved forward into battle, these troopß moved to the rear, to the sound of the enemy’s cannon.” Bat the idea conveyed by this ex pression is most unjnst when disconnected with other facts not mentioned. For it is also true that the reg meat, in total ignorance of the impending battle, took up its line of march to the rear at about four o’clock on the morn ing of the 21st, when all was quiet; and the enemy’s cannon, according to Gen. McDow ell’s report, did not open until half-past ten O’clock that day. So that when tho regiment first heard the sound of the enemy’s cannon, they were moving «to the rear,” it is true; but they had been many hours on the march, and were many miles away from the field of battle. It ought not to he icrgotlen that a hard ex perience had taught the men of the Fourth Regiment to look forward to the expiration of their three-months enlistment as a most desi rable deliverance. Among the neglected volunteers of Pennsylvania, they had been the most neglected. The privations and mortifica- tions of the first two months of their service had Bet their faces against any voluntary ex tension of their contract, and when, upon tho day of thejexpiration of their time, they were asked, in general terms, to consent to remain tor the probable, period of two weeks longer , they declined: ITnder these circumstances, it is most UDjust to impute to these men a deser tion of the field, with the design of avoiding a battle of which they then knew absolutely nothing. It is a matter worthy of remark, that while the New Fork papers have been very loud in their outcry against the Pennsylvania Fourth, they carefully withhold their blame from the volunteer artillery of tho Now York Eighth RegitoSnt, who are stated by General McDow ell in his report to have left the field at the same time, although they had Deen personally requested by the Secretary of War to remain. Even the press of this State have said scarcely anything of these New Y orkers, whilst they have been unceasing in their dennncia. tlons of our own men. It is not to be wondered at that thousands of Pennsylvanians, for the sake of a better position, are enrolling themselves under the banners of other States; but the Wit will So increased if to the neglect of our State Go vernment we- mast also add the unjust and partial discriminations of the press. B. The Cherokee Indians. We have a report, by way of Kansas, that John Ross, Chief of tho Cherokees, has been killed. Some correspondence Which recently passed be* tween him and Ben. McCulloch shows that ha was so strongly opposed to the eehemas of the Seees sionists that they had good reason for wishing to ,et him ont of the way if possible- On Jane 12 loCulloch wrote to Chief Boss from his head quarters at Fart Smith, Ark , that he had been sent “ to take command of tho district embracing the Indian Territory,” and to proteot it from “ in vasion ”by the people of tho North. He oonoln ded thus: “In the meantime, those of your people who are in favor of joining the Confederasy must be allowed to organize into military companiei as Home Guards, for the purpose of defending themselves in case of an invasion from the North This, of course, will be in acoordanoe with the views you txpressed to me, that, in case of an in vasion from ths North, yon would lead yonr men to repel it. “ Should a body of men march into your territory from the North or if I have an intimation that a body is in lino of maroh for tho territory from that quarter, I must assure you that I will at onoe ad vauoe into your country, if I deem it advisable ” To this, Chief Ross replied in quite an able let ter, stating that he had no reason to believe the United States desired to do anything whatever to their prejudice, and that his .tribe must remain neutral- These tyere the roasonfi which fie gate for refusing to consent to the organization of a Home Guard: ”1. It would be a very palpable violation of my position as a neutral. “ 2 It will place in our midst organized compa nies not authorized by our laws, but in violation of treaty; and who would soon become efficient instruments in stirring up demestio strife and cre ating internal difficulties Bmong the Cherokee people.” Evidently fearful that MoCullooh’s bluff tone would not suit Chief Ross, David Hubbard, Com misslonsr of Indian Affairs, wrote him at tbo same time, making the following suggestion among others: , ... “ Yonr debts, annuities, eto , tohool fund doe you—nearly all are in bonds of Bou*hern States, and held by the Government at Washington, and these debts are nearly all forfeited already by the act of war made upon the States by that Govern ment. These we will secure you beyond question, if you join us. If you join the North they are forever forfeited, and you have no right to believe that the Northern people would vote to pay you this forfeited debt.” To this gentle hint tiie Chief replied in the same tone, and this rumor probably gives the sequel to his loyalty. Personnel of the Rebel Congress. The personnel of the Congress is both striking I and remarkable. The delegates are mostly new men; that is, at least so far as “ Congressional” dignities are concerned; and the tout ensemble is that of plain, farmer-looking, serious men, invested with a sort of untffsoted revolutionary simplicity. I There iB reoogniiable, howevor, in the body seve ral of the old members of the Washington Congress, whom the Booth has honored by calling them to I her own independent national oonnoils, worthily I rewarding their former devotion to the oaose of her rights by new trusts of dignity The President, Hon.

He went to the barn, set it on fire, and, after the fire had got a fair start with the intention of removing every traee of himself, he oat his throat with his raxor, and immediately threw himself into the fire Bat loss of blood did not assuage the pain of burning. Human nature o .old not endnre it, and, with bis olothes burned off and his flesh literally on fire, he jumped into a well that drowning might take the plaoe of burn ing. In this condition his dead body was found.

Five companies First Miss uri Yo'.antso-s, Lieut. Col Andrew*. C and D Cavalry, Capt. Carr. Siegel’s Battery. Capt Schaffsr Dubois’ Battery, Lieut. Dubois. Totten’s Battery, Capt. J. Totten This force, together with a tram of wagoas that seemed interminable in its length, and also lu the felloitousness with which they stuck fast at every small impediment in the mountainous roads, made up our train—no insignificant one as to appear anoe, as oan easily be imagined. The next morning we started, and the first hot taste of tbe sun in nonise belted the character of his tfforts for tho balance of tho day It was hotter, in foot, than any respectable thermometer would be guilty of registering, but as MaCulloch was “ only four miles ahead,” our men pushed on as rapidly as enthnsiastio men conld wbo had had no breakfast, and marched all the night previous. In tho expectation of mooting the enemy, the advance was cautious—the cavalry constantly scoured the Oountry for a long distance in advance, the men marched in close order, and held themselves in readiness for ah attack at any moment The “ four miles ” lengthened into ten miles bofore the enemy showed his faoe, and by this time a largo percent age of the men wero nttsriy “used up.” several men were prostrated from sun stroko, many fell from sheer exhaustion A few, perhaps, fell back because they entertained a snspioion that a noxious and well armed enemy might at any moment make his appearance About 5 P. M tho road emerged from the woods, and ran for a mile or so over a bnshy plateau, about the centre of whioh stood u iog-honso. As the head of our column issued from the wood, some twenty horsemen or more were seen grouped around the log-house, evidently awaiting our ap poaranoo Captain Totten, who was in advanoe, instantly unlimbered a 12 pounder, rammed home a shrapueli, end cent it flying ahead. A few inohes lower, and seoession would have been minus an indefinite number of Its adherents. As it was, (he shot Went crashing through tho beams of tho roof, not ttoro than two feet over the head r.f the party '■Boot and saddle”. Was instantly the order of things among the fired at, and scarcely bad the report ceased reverberating among the peeks and hollows of the Ozark Mountains ere the Whole crowd had disappeared in a cloud of dust of their own raising, as (bey spurred savagely southward Two miles further, and a! the distance of twenty- two miles from Springfield, we again merged from tbe timber and stood upon the brow of a hill, down which ran the road, on through a narrow little Valley of half a mile in width, till a mile ahead, where it ascended a hill beyond, and is lost in the timbor. In the valley—which is entered with low oak bash—are a white frame house and a cohpie of log shanties; the whole plaoe is known as Dug Springs, and is situated in Curran township, in the lower portion of Christian oonnty The un usual appearance of a white house in Southern Missouri, or the uanal appearance of a log one, or tho quiet beauty of the valley, did not, howevor, so much attraot our attention as the appearanoe of a large [quad of horsemen, Who were scurrying about on tne brow of the opposite hill. General Lyon immediately sent forward two' companies of oavalry under command of Captain Stanley and Lientenant Kelley, and Captain Steele, Second Infantry, with orders to hold the enemy in cheek, effect a reoonnoissanoe, and, if ne cessary, to retire slowly. This detail pushed ahead—the oavalry deployed to the left in front of a corn-field that lay to the left of the road, and in front ol the opposite hill; the infantry marched into the timber at the right, and advanced upon the enemy as skirmishers. In the meantime, ihe balance of the column had marchtd down into about the oentre of the valley, and within half a mile of the further hill was halted. There they rested for an hour er so, while the advance was en gaged with the enemy, and then, by order of General Lyon, tarned about, marched to the while j house which was near the entrance of the valley, and went into oamp. At the same time, Captain Totten’s battery advanced to within about six hundred yards of the further hill, and took position aoross the road, supported on the left by Captains Plummer and Hueaton, of tho regular infantry. Bncouraged by the apparent retreat of the force, some 40fl of the enemy’s fores oharged over tho hill, when the gallant captain opened on them, and, for about ten minutes, the heavy reports from his 6 and 12 pounders came over the volley with the qnioknees ot strokes of a flail. The first shot was a charge of grape, the next a round shot, the third, one of those dangerous sharpnell instiiu tlons, whioh dropped exactly in tho oentre of a squad of about 100 horsemen, the members of whioh flew efi" at tangents as if a tremendous mine had just exploded tinder their Very feet. This doss was sufficient, and a*ay they Went with all that alaerity whioh our Secession friends adve in. variably shown whenever a retreat has been deemed neoessary Some dozen horses went off riderless at this discharge, and a similar resalt ootid be witnessed till they were covered in the woods, as eaoh sliot from ;ke well-aimed guns tore through their br-kon ranks In the meantime the advanoe had not seen idle. They dissevered that the enemy consisted of not less than 1,600 infantry, and abont the same num bar ot oavalry Some 1,000 cavalry and infantry had advanoed, and between them and our advance ensued a smart engagement A good deal of dodg ing and shooting ooonrrod behind trees, in which tho enemy received rather the worst and retreated slowlyi After fighting an hour or se, a sergeant of the daValry gave the order to oharge, and Lient Kelly, with his twenty mon, sabre in hand, spurred forward. Captain Stanley ot nntermanded the or der, but it either Was unheard or unheeded, for the gallant follows were already half way Upon tho enemy When this order was given, and seeing the uselessness of trying to stop them, the oaptain or dered the belauoo forward, and thon, with the noise of a small earthquake, tbo squadron drove on them. A few revolver shots, a few men sabred be hind the treeß, and then the whole opposition broke with a vigor that did ample justice to their average feats in this expedition In the whole affair, four of the Union forces were killed and six wounded, two of the latter dange ronsly so The loss of the enemy, judging from the dead bodies seen, and other oirenmstanoes, was at the very lowest estimate twenty five killed, and from sixty to one hundred wounded. One oavalry man asserts that he saw seventy bodies lying be hind the oomfiold ; but if there be any error in the estimate of the losses, I would rather err in a less then a greater estimate The affair between tho e&valry and enemy oo ourred before the firing by the artillery. The ad vanee retired; the enemy imagined a retreat; the rust auoceeded, and they pushed forward with n result above given During tho night no interruption was expe ricnoed, owing to the unssual precautions taken by General Lyon Every available position was covered with artillery, strong piokets were thrown out f-r miles on every avenue of approach, and the forces so distributed in the vicinity of the plson that a successful attaok was almost s mathematical Impossibility. This morning (Saturday) we pushed on in goodly season, eheerel again by the intelligence that the enemy was about four miles ahead,” willing, anxious, and ready for a fight. About a mile from, camp, and in the field of the last right’s action, a wounded soldier wan found who bolonged to tho United States dragoons. Ho slated that be was oaught by the enemy, being wounded by a bayonet thrust Soon after they took him Captain Totten fired his shell among them with suolt a terrible effrot, when they fled, but before going struck him from his horse with the butt of a mu-ket, leaving him for dead where he fell The indications are, however, that he will recover About a mile from the soene of the battle or skirmish we passed a farm house, in whioh were fonnd five wounded men and cne dead—all of whom belonged to the enemy One was shot through the hip, another had his ankle shattered to splinters, a third was Bhot through the shoulderß, whil* the others had wounds of minor consequence Bear tne house was a spring, from whioh ran a rivulet, that for a long distance was almost pure blood Pity took the plaee of honor, when I saw a poor horse feebly lapping up the bloody liquid, of whose head nearly one half had been carried away by a grape shot The honse also presented a horrible appearance—blood was all over the flior la rivulets and pools; it was tracked up tne stairway and stained the bed-oovering—in short, it existed in gory hideonsness everywhere I left the sickening soene, nauseated almost beyond endurance. Our march to this point was necessarily very slow At every moment the enemy was expected to open on ns; and eaab suspicions place was only passed after (t had been thoroughly explored by infantry and oavalry. At every lew minutes .here would bo ft halt. There was not & breath of afr stirring through the ravlneß, whioh, beneath the intense heat, were hot as a blast for&aoe. Men fell here and there na if shot. K?«n the oonstltation3 found that It required all their energies to bear up beneath the fearful pressure of bent, thirst, dost, and fatigue. Many of our soldiers were in Mexioo during the war with that State, aud they say that, at no time during their stay th«re, did they ever aeo weather, so insufferably hot as that whiob has visited us within the last two days Water was exceedingly Roaroc, whioh added infinitely to the difficulties of the match. About eight miles from Bog Springs the head of our column emerged from the dense timber upon the brow of another hill, aoross which to the east and west ran a deep valley about 1,600 yards in width. The opposite side la covered with thick timber J the road descends the hill from tbe Bide we &p -proached, crosses with a slight ourvo tho Talley, and right aoross from oar entrance rnns straight ap the hill. The valley is oovored with a dense undergrowth of oak; the heights south with a se cond growth or the same wood As the head of tho column oamo oat on the north side of the valley, a thick cloud of dust rose above the wood marking the line of the road that ran up the opposite side, while a large body of borsomoo was seen deploying aoross the road at the foot of the hill. Gen. Lyon immediately made prepara tions for battle, believing the enemy to be in posi tion opposite The first Missouri and First lowa Regiments were ordered to advance and tske position on the right side of the road, while the Second Kansas Volunteers took the left, with a bcdy of oavalry on its left. At 'he same time, Major Sturges advanced with Da boia 1 battery down the hill, till near the centre of the valley, whore he Earned short to the right, and ascended a slight elevation, and brought his gnns to bear on the dust marked line running up the south hill. Word was given to advanoe, the artil lery opened the fraea? with a 6 pound ball, whioh was pitched straigh t into a poin: about half way upths hifl, where the dust was thickest, and the outlines of a white bdure dimly visible. The ini mediate effect of the shot was to raise a good deal more dust, which seemed ail at once to have put on mere steam, and to he going up the hill at a paoe whioh, to say tho luast, was creditable —for dust Another round shot followed, thon a shell— the latter burs’ing when about two thirds tho dis tance to its prt jeotcd destinatirn. At this moment dost seemed to nave put on a 11 fall head of steam.” aud reaching the top of the hill, went over at a rate of speed aim Hat supernatural. About this time Capt. Totten’s Battery advanond down the road, and supported by a strong force of infantry, went aoross the valley towards the road opposite Gen. Siegel’s guns and forces were also brought up, end, together with nearly all the balance of tho infantry, marched slowly down the hill, at the distance of 500 yards or more in the rear of Capt. Totten’s Battery In the meantime the advance forces deployed, and extending aoross the read for a discanoe of thiee fourths of a mile ou either side, entered the woods and advanced el.wly up tha bill, driving scattered bodies of tho enemy slowly before them They advanced to the top of the hill, aud there halted —the enemy having taken cover In the woods beyond. As they reaoaod the brow of the hill Captain Totten’s Battery had proceeded about half, way up, till at a little opening among the trees tha house before alluded to was roaohed, and there they halted. While waiting here a body of about sixty horse men came coolly up the road, passed along in front of the battery, the oavalry aud a Missouri regi mens of infsntry, and wont iotfurcly up tho road General Lyon did not suspect their character when they first came in sight; but as they were passing, thought he “ smelt a rat, ” and asked them to halt They paid no attention, but kept on, when the General again asked who they were, which eli cited no unßwer; and thereupon he ordered a charge upon them. Scarcely was the order out be fore in went their spurs, and before the cavalry could mount they had gained the brow of the hill and secured their escape They proved to be Se cession cavalry under command of Col. Coffin. The woods were thoroughly beaten, and the country for two miles on either side well soonred, whioh was done at the expense of some fatigue and the waste of a little gunpowder between a scouting party of Kansas oavalry and a body of Secession horsemen. Satisfied that the place was compara tively secure, General Lyon determined to asm p, as there is an excellent spring of water in the open place in the road leading np the south hill, where the 6-ponnd shot was first deposited 1 am now writing you in the solitary in that Same SDOt —writing at a table greasy with the re mains "of a Secession dinner, which oar friends on the other side did not have cime to finish The ar tillery commands the road in both directions, and strong bodies are posted on all adjsoent points lia ble to afford an approach to the enemy Our men, in skirmishing up tho hill, found any quantity of hate, saddlebags, overcoats, and all other articles of “plunder,” whioh the Secession ists in their haste to leave had not time to pick up. Their camp-fires were yet burning on our arrival, and everything bore evidenoa of a large force, whioh had left in great disorder. Some thirty prisoners were captured, who state that three miles sonth there is a large force awaiting us, under Mo- Culloch and General Rains. They give the ene my’s force at figures varying from fivo thousand to tnonty thousand, made up of Missourians, one regiment from Louisiana, and detaobed compa nies from various other Southern States. . They say that they have ten nieces of artillery, and that a large msjsrity ol the command is armed with Im proved muskets and sword-bayonets Th-y also state that there is a foroe of one thou sand men advancing from Manansville to this point, With a view of uniting with MoCallooh. If you add tfl these circumstances the fact that the main body of our force is crowded into a little opening in the woods, whioh a few shells would sweep clear la twenty minutes, the delleaey as well as preoarionsness of our position can be re alized To-morrow, it is thought, we will have a fight. I doubt it muoh. and am inclined to the opinion that the enemy will retreat, draw our fsroas as far away as possible, and then endeavor, with Borne other portion of their oommand, to pass to oar rear, march upon, and secure Springfield Mais noiis verrons Mobday —Back in Springfield. Believing it useless to chase an enemy that constantly retreats, and perhaps fearing au attack upon Springfield, Gen. Lyon, by advice of his officers, oonolnded to return, which was done without stirring adventure of any sort. Speech of Governor Sprague, ol Rhode Island. Governor Sprague, in opening the Rhode Island Legislature, oa Thursday last, said; Xho Senators ore airafo of the object that has called them together, both from tbo proclamation which has been made and by events with wbioh the whole country has become familiar. When the action of this body was first taken, the Stare and the country felt that tbo war would, from the ne cessities of the case, be of short duration Sinoe that time, events have transpired whioh have opened the eyes o( the whole oountry to tho mag nitude of the rebellion whioh they are called upen to ornsh out. The repulßo whioh the army has recently suffered has been owing to so many oansos that it is impossible to attribute it to any one which We ahonld regard as BatHfaotory, all of them pointing to the condition of things whioh wo now behold Tho Btate and the oonntry, however, may feel assured, from the change in the programme at Washington, and by the poople throughout the whole North, that the, orr ora of the paßt will not be repeated in the fu ture. and also that every movement for tho future will hardly fail to result in iueoess. The war will, of necessity, be a long one We have been in error as to tho strength of the enemy, and as to the long and persistent course which has been pursued by the South tending toward this point; while we have been occupied in our business they have boon oreating revolution. Wo were under the impression that they wore lacking in all there son,eeswhioh go to raise and maintain armies; whereas, in almost every particular, we have found them superior to ourselves_ We have found that not only the •nhyatque of their men is equal to ours, but their olothieg, their arms, their sub sistence, and their means of transportation—-every thing that goes to make up military efficiency— superior to ours And when we bavo been obliged to be the attacking foroc, marohing under a South ern sun, exhausted, without provisions, and with out shelter, they have been eat am pod, and in for tified positions, in a oountry nnlriendly to us, and friendly to them, where they oould reoelve informa tion of evety movement of ours, and wo oould learn nothing whatever of theirs. Tho probabilities are tbat in no orb* in tho world’a history has an army been called into the fitld possessing so little Knowledge of the fltrongth and position of the ece my : and such being the case, it was impossible foi any troops in the position ours found themselves to hare sustain d themselves for any considerable length of time. It has opened the ©yea of the oountry to the immensily «.f this struggle, and in that view of the subject the result may be beara ble The troops of the North entering the field against those of the South, have, in every case, when oeoupying <qual advantages, been able to drive them from the field ; but, protected by sope rlor position, by batteries and superior foroe, it has of course been impossible—utterly of IfiO question—to attempt to drive them from their stfongholdß. Such being the case, and tho oountry oalling upon the Spates for so much more roan was at first anticipated, taxation by tbo General Govern ment, and next by the State, increasing, I have been induced to oall the Legislature together to see whether they are billing to continue the libe rftl oourse wbioh w-rs in&ugnxated when this con test first began. Tc me it is tho most satis factory thing that can be done to contribute in any and every way to the advantage and comfort of •he soldiers It is hard enough lor them to leave their homes, to suffer ail the ptiv&tions whioh none know but those who fnlldw them Everything that a grateful State can do for her sons who are willing to sacrifice themselves in such a canse Should be done ; but it is important that the state should know its ability, and should have at its dis posat Tosouroes to avenge the defeat of those that they rent at Grat, for if you noarly exhaust your resources at the outset, you will fiad yourselves less able to oontinue to support those that you have already placed in tho field Bills have been drawn and will ha presented to the Senate tending to the furtherance of these ideas, and tending to make the troops of this Btate not loss efficient man they have boon, but having an eye to the future with a view of husbanding the resources of the State for whatever necessaries they may be called upon to contribute to the oountry to promote the suooess of the good cause. I have arranged with the Government of the United States for the pay ment of the expenses growing out of the reising of the Beoond Regiment and battery, and slso ior the raising of additional reg'ments, when the bills are presented. There seems something significant in the following, from the Richmond (Va ) ootrenpi ndenoe ot tho OharleaioD (8. C ) Mercury : “Tho Govern ment seams zealously to conceal everything they oan from the pnhlit here Up to this ii») (iho 4 ;b) since tho fight, no report u made of the mandat or dead ; nor will they allow those who have sons aod brothers at Manassas to go to asosrtatn their fate, and administer to their necessities if wonnded All we learn is from the newspapers, wbioh obtain choir information from tho wonnded who are brought here.
