SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1862. ‘‘The City Article”—lts History and Mystery. ■ ' What is called “ the oity article,” of the London Tima, usually occupying about a column and a half each number of that able and -mischievous journal, is more power ful in its effect upon European commerce and personal credit than the leading articles them selves, written as ' they are with consummate skill, craft, and motive purpose. In this coun try, except by. bankers, money-dealers/and great commercialists, the influence of this “ city article”, is scarcely appreciated. Across the water, it is the part of the Times, first read and most carefully studied by commercial men, and by politicians. Its statements have great influence upon monetary transactions all over Europe, but its insinuations are still more powerful—for good and for evil. In that co lumn political purposes are insinuated, sug gestions of future legislation are safely made, (when the writer knows that they have already been decided on,) and personal solvency is often whispered away in a few lines. . Without going to the.length of saying that ■ this department of The Times is venal, we may sateiy scwe tK»t^Mo-understood to_ be under_ the especial influence of those great money lords, the Rothschilds. Now andrthen the •interests of ' the great house of Earing are at. - 'tended to in thissaid “ city article,” but only -when they do not run counter to those of the Rothschild family. It ,has been whispered, too, (and generally believed,) that, on occa sion, Mr. George Peabody has been well served by the moneyescribo, whose dictum in that article is so sovereign and effective. We mean Mr. Peabody, the" London-American banker, who, Mr. Train has publicly said, made upwards of three hundred thousand pounds last Christmas by operating with Bothschiid and Baring on the suppressed Seward-Clay de spatch, which intimated most unequivocally that the American Government did not con sider Mason and Slidell worth quarrelling about. Of'that gain, has been be stowed as public charity to London, but Mr., Peabody has not yet, to our knowledge, con tributed a dollar to his own country during her present distractions and necessities. -. The Times “ city article” has been an insti tution during the last forty years. It grew into importance in the hands of the late Mr. Alsager, who, having been unsuccessful in his mercantile career, became one of the writing staff of The Times, and soon was commission ed to devote himself exclusively to the pro duction of a record of the dally monetary and commercial business of London. Originally, nothing but the prices and fluctuations of pub lic securities were chronicled, but Mr. Alsager added facts and comments, carefully collected and judiciously made, which enabled him to wield great power among the monetary classes of the British empire. At first his salary was small, but it soon rose, we have heard, to as much as $5,000 a year, with a handsome office in ComhiJl, near the Royal Exchange and Bank of England; a competent staff of clerks and messengers) a table liberally supplied with luncheon for himself and friends at the ante prandial hour of 2 P. M.; and a well-filled cellar of .wine and other liquid refreshments, which are recorded as making glad the heart ■-'ofman. V Mr. Alsager, who failed in business with- ' out a blot on his ’scutcheon, or the loss of any friend'among the magnates of “ the city,” was a gentleman of good family,—his brother, Captain Alsager, having been M. P. for East-Surrey during several years. Well educated, too, and familiar with tha principles of political economy, Mr. Alsager was' pre cisely the man for I’he Times, and, on more occasions than one, was consulted by . the di rectors of the Bank ot England, in the dark hours of monetary gloom and financial diffi culty. On the establishment of the Court of Bankruptcy, in London, he received a lucra tive appointment therein from the hands of' Lord Brougham,' then Chancellor, and always his warn friend. This doubled his income and did not much increase his work. For many years, Mr. Alsager’s money articles wore above suspicion—though he was on inti mate terms with the late Nathan Meyer Rothschild, who died in 1836, .and certainly was the ablest of that remarkable family of money-makers.: Unfortunately, in his later years, when past the age of sixty, Mr. Alsager • was affected with the mania of speculating on the; Stock Exchange, and rushed so wildly into it that, in a short time, despite his large income, (latterly about $12,000 a year,) the , became involved in pecuniary difficulties, and, it was said, was helped out of them, more than once, by his friends the Roths childs, : At’all events, such a belief grew into the public mind, and it was a somewhat sus picious | coincidence that, from that time, the Rothschild, influence was /elf in The Times’ city article. In' 1845, when railway specu lation was rife in England, Mr. Alsager went into it, in the ; vain hope of recovering what be had lost by gambling on the Stock Exchange. Then, on the 14th October,' a curious - circumstance occurred :—The Times, in its= « city - article,” supported the •lead ing railway projects of the time, (those in which Mr. Alsager held scrip, which he hoped to sell at heavy premium's,)' and a memorable editorial,, on the same day, denounced tbe.'.’R'allway ; mania; as even more absurd than the South Sea bubble over a cen tury back—pointing .out the significant fact that the capital required to execute* the pro-. posed, lines exceeded $3,000,000,000, a sum which England,’how'eyer rich, never hope to realize for such purposes. That timd ]y. warning, though it caused a Panic which Tery nearly drove England into bankruptcy, greatly The Times. It also made Mr. Alsager aware of the impossi bility: of his continuing to write any more— when his cherished opinions were treated? with j so .much and Such marked disrespect;' ’He re signed his engagement on The Times, and was ■ pensioned off with his foil salary. 'Not .long', did. he receive it, however. • The breaking of the Railway bubble . utterly ruined >im, and his friends heard, with more regret ■ than prise, that * i—n —w>r- nurt-Wnn form!, "bafla’by his own hand. Mr. Alsager was succeeded, on The.Timesy by. Mr. Sampson, who continues to' write the' “city article” Wi this day; Mr, Sampsonhad considerable experience in banking, but is by bo means, such an able man as bis predecessor. He is reported, also, to have no great desire to overwork himself. His chief assistant, who indeed inay be considered the working-man, is Mr. D. Morier Evansj-an ex-journalist, with a decided taste for statistics, which he has practically applied to the production of several works connected with- commercial matters.' Since Mr. Alsager’s time, the Rothschild in fluence has been undeniably perceptible in the “city articles” of The Times— :a fact sometimes attributed to Mr. Sampson’s intimacy, with Baron Lionel Rothschild, M. ; P. for Lon don,’ but, perhaps more correctly, to a pre sumed proprietory interest which that monied gentleman is believed to hold ■in The Times itself. • - • 'v. ‘ Even since the commencement of those dif ficulties which treasonable secession caused in the United States, the London Times has not hesitated to exhibit the most vehement, vio lent, ahdnnprincipled partisanship against the Union, and for the Rebellion. For many months it was asserted in its “city article?’ that Mr. Chase, our financial -minister, had endeav ored to; raise a loan in the Londonthpney mar ket, ’and 'was unable to. accomplish his purpose. As it happened, Mr;. Chase made no ‘ such endeavor. He never attempted to borrow mdney in Europe for the war, and, indeed, one of the most remarkable incidents in . the history of nations is the fact that, expensive as the war has been, the means of carrying it on have been wholly supplied from the in- dustry and by the patriotism, of _pnr own • citi - zen*. It was.necessary to borrow for war is extremely costly, but- the means have ■bden supplied at home, ivlthoat'’ going 'to . Europe. Had we done so, enabling Roths PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1862. child, Baring, and Peabody to make money out of us, jit all probability The Times would have treated us differently. Its enmity or its alliance should be equally valueless, Let us add that, according to a sensible old proverb, people who Kve in glass houses should avoid throwing stones. For example, before The Times indulged in an undergrowl at the prices of American securities, itshouldhave looked back and seen, whether, repeatedly in the monetary history of England; a much more gloomy aspect' of affairs was not observable.’ For example, the par price of stock on the Bank of England has varied from £299 pej share, in 1825, to £ll5, in 1797, and is now qnotedat £237 to £239. Again, the par price of consols is £lOO. The last selling price is at £94. In 1852,ttye price ran up to £101155., but, in the year 1798, under the fear of inva sion by France; the fact of a rebellion in Ire land, and the misfortune of suspension of cash payments by the Bank of England, tlio price, tumbled down to £47 ss. The difference be tween £47 and £lOl omit the odd shil ling), is a trifle greater, we submit, than even between 65 and par in H. S. had tho reduced price been . fairly caused, ia stcad of being the result of jobbing by the London money-lords. The same trickery which could hear them down to 65, could bull them up to 100, if required, at forty-eight hours’ notice. Fluctuations in tho prices of shares are common in all countries. In Fran cis’ “History of the Bank of England,” -fbronshtidiiwnj:*nm-i844-f.n-.iHill^:bjiJ v iSmith Homans, the able editor of,the ,3ank,er’s Ma- New York, so as- immensely to en hanco’its value,) we find a casejnpo.int. ,Mr. Homans says,* in his continuation, p. 451, “ Tbe, par value of the shares in the Bank of France, is 1,000 francs. These have sold of -late years from .2,425-to 4,o7s‘per share, equi-- valent to about 200 per cent, advance.” He * shows some of these fluctuations. For ex ample, in 1849, just after the revolution, tho price,: which* had- just been 35230; sank down to 2,soo—was 2,425 in 1860 ; 2,650 in ,1851; • rose to 3,108-in 1852, after Napoleon had assumed the Government with a strong Hand, and, in 1856; after the Russian war, was at the inairimum of 4,075. We repeat,, the fluctua tions in the prices of consols, hank stock, and securities for .loans, are frequent and inevitable everywhere. - Our purpose in writing these lines, irrespec tive of a desire to initiato»bur readers into the history and mystery of The Times' “ city article,” has been to warn tho public .against placing the slightest dependence' upon any statement respecting American-finance which they may find in that most unscrupulous jour nal. It is indeniably in the interest of: the enemies of our Union, and- among these enemies the .-Rothschilds and their clients, must be counted. There is no truth in their organ, and our people should know it, and not get irigktehecl, like some gentlemen in Third street and in Wall street, at itsthunder. The fact is, Rothschild iB very angry, that he has not got us under his thumb, in money matters. No sovereign- can carry on a war.in Europe without getting money from Rothschild, Bar ing, and that particular clique of money-lords. Nearly^.foity 7 years ago; Byron,.who knew a thing or two',.declared'.tliat these men hold the balance of the world; and “ Are tlie true lords of Europe, Every loan Is mot a merely speculative hit, . But seatß.a nation or upsets a throne:” We alone, among the nations, have dared to battle against Rebellion and for the'Bight, without consulting, any European money, grubs,—we have presumed to raise a vast but necessary loan among our own people, and this is' wbat the money lords, be they Jew. Or; Gentile, will not easily or speedily forgive. Herein is the key to the hostility, open and covert, of the London Times. We ought to care as little for it as we did eighty-six yoars ago, when the Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, for the insane raying of George the Third ortho concentrated hatred ot .Lord Horth andihis official satellites. ♦ History of the Bank of England, Us Timas and Traditions, from 1684-to 1844. >By John Francis.

Tho leading characters are a South Carolina planter and his octoroon mistress, certain of his riayes,, a, villainous Yankee overseer; a small planter and his wife, named Barnes,'who nse their slaves well and profit by it; a superior negro, called Scipio, and one Andy Johnson, a planterwith a heart in his bosom, who nets manfully in the- narrative and winds up the etory with a characteristic letter, to whioh there is only tbe objection that it exbibits a good deal of the had spelling which has spoiled our literature of late years. Mr. Kirke,; author of this book, has lived long in the South and does not abuse it, but he exhibits life in South Carolina as he knew it, and we :can believe, what we have heard, that many of the characters here exhibited- are real— that some of them still live., . 11 Among the Pines” has' been compared with 11 Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” : but i 3 of a higher quality, beoauae Mrs. Stowe’s romance is a fancy-sketch—powerfully melo dramatic, but .improbable—whereas • Mr. Kirke writes from .actual knowledge of the looality and its people. The difference between the two stories is simply the differenoo between Truth and Fiction. Mr. Kirke’s “Scipio” is a more natural oharac terthan 11 Uncle Tom,” who must have been very much of a bore in any household, with his over done religious pretenoe. The- pursuit of ' Moye after he murdered Sam—the negro’s funeral, with the bfaok preacher’s sermon—the -scene at the railway station, where honest Andy Johnson first appears—the incidents at the'barbeoue—and the burial of Julie; the slave, are scenes -ih “Among the Pines ” wbichwould do oredit to'any, writer, which Mrs. ,Stowe .-oould not even have imagined; for they are out of the traok of womanly fancy or experience.

Having seen just such failures, beforehand, supposing our, be batjk«ia ,, in jusUiuch an under taking, I; early, in the <wsr, when Ganeral Fremont was placed in command of the -WesternDepartment; and . when tbe robfcU commenced fortifying these positions, sugrrsted, ina communication to the General, how ■nearly all the places fortified, could be turned or passed, as haa beendone at No. 11, sending him the oharts made' from my own survey of the river. I particularly de scribed tbe .geological. formation of .the. Mississippi bot-.- tema, and directed how to avoid the very snag (to nse a ilisaisi ippi pbiaae) upon which those having the work in charge struck. afterwards volunteered my services on the corps employed on this work. Genera! Fremont was removed, and, as .there was some trouble in Ms depart < menM tid not enter the Service.' . -Here is the difficulty, and if those having ths superln tendance of the cutting will profit by my hints, they can have the old. Father of Waters running .through the, canal in a very few days. Let them cut through that argUlasceous stratum {which I know they came to, al though it has not been eo Stated,} until they'coihie to the substratum of sand, and when the river commences to flow through the cut—never mind how narrow it is,- so long . as itt is in the] sandr-the:snpertgtratum of• clay will give, way or cave in, and in a short time will carry the superincumbent aUuvenm with it. If this is done, do power on earth can stop tbe river open ing tbe ebannel across the ben*’, as intended. Twice I have set'll Buch.nndertaking foiled oy this same cause—at the “ Horaerfitroe Bend” and at “ Borkon’s.Bend.” The former was cut through by Oapt. Shreives just as onr engineers have done. He. encountered this argitlasceous stratum when he found it hard digging, and. he abandoned the undertaking, supposing the river would wash through at the next rise. But hfiwas deceived; as it was some nine or ten years, if I remember right, before the river went through the cut he made. It is now the main chan nel of the river. ' ■ - ' This stratum of clay varies in thickness. In some places Lhave seen it only a foot through; then, again, in some localities it is not found at all,’all being allnvenm to the sub-stratum-of sand.

Itben-went forward to reconnoitre, their .position, bdt found that I condd'nbt approach hear'enough'to see their’ camp without alarming their pickets. I then returned to camp and paraded all my armed men, and found that I had but fifty- five men that were armed with arms suitable to engage the enemy with.-. Leaving, my pack mules and unarmedmen at that point I moved on,' intending to take a position near their campyand-remahr*until the break of day before, making the attack; but when within a quarter of a mile of their camp we ran upon their pickets.

Below will be found a complete epitome of thereal and speculative facts alludod to: The Situation in Virginia. [From the New York World ] Washikoton, August 20.—At this day and hour a well grounded anxiety exists behind l the scenes, ’concerning' the possibilities of the week te come. If by the time this letter, published in your columns, shall have been read in Dixie, the impending dangers have not injured us, they , can never return again. So it is Bate to tell their nature ;. Taking the' advantage of McOlellan’a movement, of’the roundabout route by which he is going to support Pope,: of their own inner and direct lines of transit, the rebels are rapidly throwing* their whole strength against the Army of Virginia, They are'apparentiy making a giant, effort to conQuer our defensive force, and thereby capture before .the bulk of: McClellan’s army can avail for the rescue. I have only to tell you that your surmises are already sustained by the latest military news. Generals Leo and.'Jackson have , been ’ shrewd enough to see,their aavantage, and are, te all appear ances, profiting by it- Dastnight, then, and to-day, we have a litUe panlo on hand, and a'muchmbre sensible one,than the last. Gen. Pope has found the enemy’s numbers' suddenly aug mented to -one .hundred thousand men, or upward. Moreover, they are moving from GordoasviUe in force toward Fredericksburg, perhaps intending -to' push through the weak places of our left. This has forced Pope either to give battle on the spot dr to at once draw in hiß lines. The former alternative can only be the last extremity of evil, consequently be is falling rapidly back; has, Idm informed, evacuated the Culpeper region, bag and baggage; has drawn in bis lines at least fifteen miles, edging a little toward. Acquia .creek, in order to be within easier concentrating reach of such portions of McClellan’s army as have there.landed. O for a magic carpet, large enough to hold titty thou sand men, and bear them in an eye’s wink from York town to the north fork of the Bappahannock! As It fa, the country knows that acertain portion of McGlellan’e army hat reached the important point,: and of course the' * remainder is hurrying forward through such magnificent means of 'water transportation as the world never before has seen collected. " Bnt ihe enemy is not only pushing one column toward Fredeiicksbnrg. Another body, how large I don’t pro tend to know, presses steadily agatottons on the old Gorddhavllle ronte. jWe have got our. hands full for the next week. They can safely spare every gray.coat from Bicbmosd. . "Who knows that 25,000 other men are not , at this moment marching down, the Shenandoah valley 1 If that were the case, we should be in trouble. A mis conception has always obtained,at,the.North relative to , the method of entering the vattey. No one has ever imagined that a rebel force could get in there, save by the conventional Sionewall route, via, the’Vivgtaia, Cen tra! Bailrosd, Staunton, Ac ’ Bear to mind for a moment that another railroad, parallel with the one. just named, runs from Richmond west to Lynchburg, eto,, on a line south of the James fiver. We‘know that; some time since, the enemy threw a portion of his Bichmondiarmy south of the river—to attack Suffolk it was said. Sup poie that force to have moved along the Sbuthaide BaU road, to have entered the valley at Salem, thence jeoretly : to have marched down to Staunton, and.now ready to co operate In the joint movement by a dash for Harper’s Ferry and upper Maryland.•, If the.enemy in Virginia had been as numerous as some have claimed, he would assuredly have availed himself of this advantage. Fortu nately,,we have no newß to conflim such fears. Meantime the rebels, always coguizaut qr any separa tion of our iotas, and swift to use their knowledge, .seem to have permitted McClellan to move quietly off, attack Pope’s in force. Tbey-‘ bave made two grand mistakes, which we believe will prove fatal to their scheme. 'First, they do not know how long ago McClellan’s evacuation, commenced, aed hence have not calculated on finding any of his army to their new path.- Beoond, they have underrated our meanß of transportation—have made a great blunder in supposing that one fourth the time will be needed for bringing the aimy of the Potomac tip the river which was ■ consumed in originally moving it down. So that I cannot deem Washington in any danger. Yet there is every probability that within five days the blood-, lest, most hotly contested battle of the war will be fought. : near the noith fork of the Bappahanhock. Not Si Gene ral Halieck can avoid it;; Bnt the enemy, if determined to attack: chr advantageous positions, can unquestiona bly bring on theflght. He will toi unquestiohahly be re pelitd until, by new rrriviila, vre are sc, strengthened as. -tease himnp. His fbreed marches, indeed—invplving the carrying of cooked rations, the Hauling of arHliery by' halt -Blarved hoises, etc.—will have,rendered it necessary for him to succeed in the first attack, or not at all-. Au resit, we are alb holding our breaths. I say nothing of ' the new levhß arriving. Snch talk is contraband.* But of conrse men who do not know how to load a musket can beof Tittle immediate nse. General Halieck has the confidence of everybody. The last month’s operations have thown a masterhaud at the helm.' We are to day going throngh the swiftest, most dangerous portion of the “rapids ’’ A week more, and the future is secure; the , old ship will cleave the open sea. [FtomtheN. Y.

The rebels will, of course, wreak all their vengeance aeon these weak brethren. It ought, however, to be a lesson to our generals never to exact an oath of this kind, ud» ’ til there Is ho longer any danger of a recovery of the territory by the rebel troops. Treatment of this kind only serves to make the' rale of onr. Government contemptible, as well as detestable, in all'the disputed territory. Wabhinotok Despatch —Bumors wore current in the city yesterday, to the effect that the army of Virgi nia was retreating—that General Fope,'having disco vered* the approach of General Jackson witha force of 120,000 men; when the latter waawithin enly eightmiles of Ms outposts, in' obedience to ihstroctions; retreated at once. It Is a noticeable fact, in this connection,; that the latest despatches received from the army were dated' on Monday last. , V, . [From the Hew York Tribune.] -We received on Wednesday evening the intelligence of the movements, of, the Army of Virginia, which we did not then think proper, but which to-day wears at liberty to: make public. The letter of our correspondent, who sends, nothing, for publication except by permission of. General Pope, fully explains the retrograde movement.of the ermy. At Cedar Mountain it was Jackson’s purpose to break through Pope’s lines, but-he was foiled by the disposition which Pope had made of his forces, and by the bravery of .Banks and his command. Beaten back with heavy loss; he now attempts to throw himself be tween McClellan's army—which be has permitted to leave . the Janies river unmolested that he might concentrate his, whole force at this new pointof attack—and Gen. Pope’s army, with the hope; perhaps! 'of ; annihilating each in* turn. Bet he haa to deal with ail adversary as quick and as fertile in resources as himself. Pope, by a well conducted retreat, is still keeping in Jackson’s front, and does hot mean to permit him to turn his flank; He moves steadily forward with his face to : his foe, ready, always, we may be confident, for an attack if Jackson ventures! or has already ventured’to mako one; Every hour that the two armies continue in these relative posi tions rendera Jackson’s hndertahing the more hazardous " and increases Pope’s chance of successful resistance; for every step taken , brings them nearer to Burnside with his command; and such portions of the Army of the Po tomac as may have already reached Fredorickßburg. Wo may expect to bear, any hour, of a bloody battle, but we confidently hope to announce another victory. [From the Hew Tork Times.] . The city was profoundly agitated josterday by rumors of disaster tbieatening the army in. Virginia. The Go vernment, controlling the telegraph, prevented the’presß from receiving any news through that medium, but did not prevent* private parties from obtaining, by the help of cipher, fhll intelligence of all that was beenrring;* These reports; passing from month to month, and exaggerated at every transmission, created a serious panic, which the ; absence of any different intelligence from the lines served to augment. Against these evils, the product of official errors, we are unable to guard the public, as we are also unable to lay before it that correct intelligence which would allay apprehension. We can only say that up to the moment the paper goes to press there-has, been ho encounter between the Union and rebel forces in Vir ginia, and that Washington is not in danger; FROM THE SOUTHWEST. Movemeitt%of Col. Coffee—He is Reported Crossing tbe Osage. • - , [From tho Springfield (Mo.) Journal, August 12 ] Last week an expedition numbering, we believe, jtbout 301 men, (including two companies of raw militia) under command of Major Montgomery, of the 6th: Missouri cavalry; started in pursuit of Colonel Coffee, who was known to have entered the State, and to be going north ward. .. :■ On Wednesday Major Montgomery came up with and annihilated a email portion of the rebel band near Mon tovallo, Vernon county The rebels nnmberod thirty fire, formed on a high point of land, and when they saw oiif forces coming, mlßtook them for their own mßn—the two compares of State militia not being in uniform. .. When within about forty yards of them Major Mont gomery ordered his men to Are upon them, which Wag done, resulting in the killing ol from thirteen to seven teen rebels, and the capture of abonf the game number— l among the latter, one captain and ‘one sergeant, .It is said that out of the whole company not more than four or five escaped. •" Hot one ofour men was hurt by the Are of the Secesh, but one of Captain Coleman’s men (militia) had bis shonlder broken from the fall of bis horse. A' ball grazed Major Montgomery's -shoulder, cutting his coat, but doing no damage. Wo gather the abovo particulars from a member of one oi tho companies engaged. . The prisoners taken.in the fight, together with a few others captured on the route, arrived in thin place on Friday last. The two companies of State militia returned here on Saturday morning. They report that Colonel Coffee, with his command, when last heard from, had crossed the Osage river, and was encamped two miles north of the river and about ten miles above Osceola, near the town of Taberrille. They left Montgomery at Stockton, Cedar county. He is still in pursuit of Coffee, and, with the reinforcements Which he will undoubtedly receive, iB in a fair way to capture the whole pack. Where is he going 1 is a question more easily asked than answered. It is certainly a daring and bold move ment, but if he sueceer s In getting back, to Arkansas somebody will be to blame, that's all. ■ , ItP.IIF.L BOUT NEAR FORSVTIIE. I t having been ascertained that there was a considera ble rebel-camp near, Forsythe, it was determined to break it up. : Accordingly a detachment of men from the post,at Ozark were placed under the command of Gapt. Hi rob, of the 14th M, S. M., who immediately started on, the expedition, and some time before "day on Monday ‘ morning, the 4th;inßtV cmne upon the camp three miles this tide of Forsythe. , ; . ... ; Hot suspecting danger, the rebels were all fast asleep, and were taken completely by. surprise.- The. camp was. charged, and the rebels took to their heels like a flock of •frightened' sheep, some'with their shirt-tails streaming out behind, and .others in their drawers, leaving tents, clothing, ihorees. and rigging, aims, and a great deal of • important correspondence behind. A few were killed and 'a few taken prisoners., : Major Clifford, who, it will be recollected, came np with afleg of truce from Mcßride, a short time since, loßt his coat and pants, taking to the brush on double-quick time, in'his shirt tail. '' ... '. Alter destroying the camp, and burning what they could not bring away with them, the “ boys” returned to Ozark with their booty, highly elated at the success of the expedition. The Battle of Bone Jack. [From the St, Louis Bepubllcan, 20th.] Op to the hour of going to press this morning we have received nothing of, an ofliciat character from headquar terain regard to the fight on Friday beyond Sadalia, in wbicha Bisall forco of the State troops were overpowered and captured by a large band of ‘rebels. By passengers, : however, on the Faciflo'Baiiroad we bavevariout rumors, seme of which locate the fight at Lone Jack, a small placo on the eastern border of J ackson county, fifteen or twenty miles southwest of Lexington. Here, it is said, a force of State troops belonging to the regiments of Cols. Phil lips and Crittenden, and numbering abont eight hundred men, were surprised by a* rebel force comprising the re spective gangs of Qaantcll, Hays, Hughes, ;and other guerilla chiefs, all under the command of Col. Coffee, and nnmherihg'about three thousand men. Though theßtate troops were: unprepared for tho con flict, they made a most gallant and .desperate resistance. They had twe pieces of artillery, for the possession of which there, ensued- a most: bloody i struggle,, in, which Major -Foster of. the State troops, a most gallantand meritorious offleer, was mortally wounded. Tho artil lery, finally, fell into the hands ofthe guerillas; bnt the ‘two pieces were spiked before their captnre, and will not prove very .valuable prizes 1» tro rebels. •' ' The result was the defeatof.tbe htate troops,-with a -loss of- abant two hundred in killed, wounded, and miss ing,,: These are substantially the reports' brought by passengers on the Pacific Bajiroad. - From headquarters we gain nothing more definite than that they are mainly, .correct. . ’ O' .; ,i , ./' In regard to the thonsand-and-one rumors prevalent in. the city yesterday, we ltarn from official sources some facts which will tend to stay the ;pQblict excitement. The report that the Hallcck Guards, of this city, were in the fight, is totally' untrue. They had not, up to yester day morning, been in any engagement at,all. The gnu boat Warner was not captured by rebels, Lexington is not in possession of-the guerillas. On the contrary, General Ben Loan, from 1 St. Joseph, has arrived there with large reinforcements, and is expected to hold the place against all odds. . v >v; . . Sedalia, although threatened by the rebel gang, ia in good hands,'mid will be retained by the State forces. The rebels have probably ran tbelongth of their rope, 1 and, if we mistake, not the signs of the t mes, willina - few days be as thoroughly l cleaned out of Jacksonj John son, Lafayette, and surrounding counties, as they have, been in Northeast Missouri. > AdditionalfroinEurope.
