Special Corropondence of The-Press.] BIBMPHIS, Augnit 2S, 1862. The moral, or, rather, immoral condition of bieniphis is a shame and a disgrace to the Govern nient, and'to 'the Federal army. Liquor may not be the Toot of all evil, but it is certainly the cause of enough in this city to make even Pandemonium tremble for its laurels. The cause of all this is the - opening of the rum `shops. Notwithatanding the . most earnest remonstrances, General Sherman al lowed them .to be ,opened, and in spite of the.elo pence ofnitizens,t3oldiers, and stubborn facts, he has refusedtn interpose to shut them up. Our , streets ' , resound with one prolonged heir' from morning to night, You eau scarcely go a block without meet- , ing an intoxicated. " myrmidon." Of course the trade - of ganibling-houses and brothels is resumed and revived. The former are'only " One-horse" concerns, apparently got up•otra .scale to suit thp customers they ,most expect. They calculatethat no soldier will hairs more than a month's pay on , hand at a time, and as that is` not likely to he,over two hundred-And ._ t concern - vith a ;thousand dollars capital .can really do quite a business... , ollo,Of ,P . 110813, faro ..,bank, was tuelly broken for a thousand ; dollars the other night Fights of s:rious character are not, infrequent,, though I have' heard of 'Onlia 'tea; • deaths, and those mostly diunkim Soldier's trying to Fun the guard. We are gradually, however, Ondur; to the fighting pitch. lout night - i'indts erect individual, who "hoorayed'.' far Jeff Davis, was Bet upon and nearly b :sten to death by some gtinboat men. Military law restrains'the _rowdies to a:considerable extent, but, by-and-by, they will get liked to even'that. There are two points about this liquor question, and only.two. The first is, that the oonduot of our soldiers, both officers and men, stands in mortifying contrast to the orderly and • quiet behavior of the Confederate troops, and ex cites unfavorable comment among all classes. It is . extremely unpleasant to Union people, and to Northern men, to 'have these nightly brawls and this isoritinuakrowdyism thrown into their faces as the "results of Federal rule," a " specimen of the restoration of the Union ;" for there are some people just foolish enough to talk in that ityle, and others foolish enough to be annoyed at it. The second, anil most impOrtant point, is, that the most fearful inroads are being 'made upon even the small degree of 'discipline possessed by our army before this. 'Officers and privates meet each other in all possible stages of intoxication, in liquor-sa loons, brothels, gambling-houses, billiard-rooms, and blind alleys. The result may easily be imagined. The slight barrier which shoulder-straps have hitherto raised between thsm disappears be- fore the leveling influence of whisky. The private can swear, reel, and bawl as loud as ho pleases, di rectly under the eyes of his superior officer, and the latter has no right • or power to reprimand or stop him. I have been into a dozen beer saloons in Memphis and seen the common soldier, dressed in his duty flannel shirt and pantaloons, with, a slouch. hat on his head and slouch boots on his feet, stand ing at the same bar with the dapper and brilliant commissioned officer of his - own regiment,' and "it would take , a second Daniel to decide which was the drunkest. It is a sight - once seen not easily to . be forgotten—such an obvious confoundMi of all distinotions, such a plain violalion of military pro prieties, such a granulating prooess, so to speak, in the discipline of the army. I hope, in the name of decency, we shall have another commander of this post ; for to General Sherman, and to him alone, all this is due. • EXPORT TRADE OP REMPHIB.

Alieat deal -, ties gore froin Columbus, having bean i shippid all ilong the lice of that railroad. Cotton• burners were not so common thereabouts as they were below. The road passes through many of the finest cotton regions in' the State. Good judges have told me that three times as much cotton has been shipped from Columbus as from Memphis. Bat suppose it to. be" 30,000 bales, that will give a total of 45,000 bales of cotton. These have " netted . to the' Oilers at least _one hundred dollare a bale: be sureftsome has been bought at Heleni--or rather stolen--for what yon might call , riiiprioaat • allybut the figures for . August, during *blob month all •that has been shipped at all from -Helena has coma up, show how small a proportion came from there at all. But lately, as high as One hundred - and seventy dollars' a bale has been•paid for it. It is worth two hun dred and fifty dollars in New York. 'So; I think it safe to say that the cotton in this country has averaged to the holders one hundred dollars poi bale. Multiply that by 45,000 bales, and you have four and a half of dollars. The sugar arid molasses should also be increased by about one hun dred per cent. on account of shipments from lambus, which gives 11,000 hogsheads sugar and 12,000 barrels molasses, worth, at a very moderate computation, 'one million more. Now, if Mr. ,Chase thinks that the crop' of Union sentiment which he has gathered, and the harvest of revenue which ho expects to gather, is worth the risk of sending six raillions of - dollars into thiSonthern States at this time, he is welcome to the opinion. A judicious regulation of this businesewoldd,have put at least three millions of dollars into the United States Areasury. However, there is no use of crying over spilt milk. IMPORT TRADE, ETC. The import trade of Memphis consists simply of the necessaries of life. Many articles which formed a large part of the mercantile stores of this city are entirely uncalled for, among which are faituip,g . tools, negro clothing, and the thowiand things that an agricultural community create a demand for. But dry goods, thread, and needle. goOds, and all manner of little notion's, had entirely. disappeared from the market before the blookade-was opened. A paper of pins was worth half a dollar, a paper of needles two bits, tape and trimming for dresses, buttons,"everything of that sort, were either not to be Preenied or were very dear. Now the market ' is abundantly supplied with these artlclei, and at Very reasonable rates. So great is the contrast between the state of affairs now and then that some of Atte most violent Secessionists wish, and have expressed the wish to others, that the Federal Government might always remain in possession. of •Memphis. The material advantages of the Union are going -to be forced on the attention of the people of the South more prominently than ever during the coming winter. • But among articles of import I must not forget to. mention:the very impcirtant ones of salt 'and qui; nine. Both of these are considered contraband of war, but owing to the very peculiar regulations of General Sherman, and the rascality of boards of, trade, great quantities, not only of these but also of , gunpowder and percussion caps, it is beared, are smuggled into the heart of the Southern States. I have heard of one Instance where more thin 07W thousand barrels of salt were shipped through the connivance of Cineinnati and Louisville' boards of trade to one man, living near Fort Pillow, a noted and avowed Seeessionist. This was told.me by a captain of one of the gunboats, to whom the buyer boasted of it. A single member of the Memphis. board also permitted two hundred barrels to go to one , man. I know a colonel who begs, borrows, and buys all the quinine he can lay his hands on, and gives it away to Confederate ladies. Suehin, stances are as common as they are shameful, THE NEWS FROM HELENA , Is not exciting. There is no prospect of a move: ment. The water in all the rivers is getting to be, so very loir that it is not entirely safe for gunboats to move about with freedom. Land forces can do nothing without•the ce-operation of the gunboats,- except to look out for guerillas. Bodies. of gueril las are seen every day and night, on the Mississippi side of the river. They are burning cotton wher ever they can find it, and as all the troops have been withdrawn from that side of the river, they, commit their depredations with perfect impunity. They are often coming down close to the river bank.' It seems General Curtis has been drawing the lines tighter and tighter in regard to the permitting busi ness. Several reputable and perfectly proper persons obtained permits during the abiende of General Curtis, by order of General Stills, who. said he had intended to have nothing to do with' the business, butmas somewhat forced to. do . so by, the prolonged absence of General Curtis. A few days before Curtis returned, however, he consented. to`issne permits, - and did issue them to every one who applied and whci aPpeared from any reasonable evidenhe to be a proper person: It is .6 singular faot that all these gentlemen have experienced the greatest difficnity in getting their cotton !hipped; the most whimsical obstacles sin thrimht in; their way, and they are so bothered and harrassed that they hardly think the cotton worth.' the trouble of buying it. We hear a great deal about guerillas,•but it is more talk than oider. There are guerillas, to be euTe; and theyburn cotton, • and commit outrages. Somettmei they form in bands and attack points 'here our troops are statlbned: They nista about the country kicking up a perpetual dust, makings great talk and brave about• their achievements, and GUERILLAS. magnifying the results so that you would not know the fight by the description if you had been in it. But they can never amount to anything. A vigor ous advance movement on our part, a concentra tion of our forces on some important point, will compel them to call in their guerillas and Mass their forces for defence: Guerillas may support theinselves to some extent in an awfully blockaded country for a year or, two, but they Will inevitably c: play out" after a while. THE coNscßuorrox Ler. The guerillas are coming even within ten miles of Memphis, and enforcing the conscription' act, li terally and rigorously. They take every able-bo died man, without any exception, and without re gard,o age. Two refugees from there came in to-day; and escaped only by hiding -in ,fie woods, and had not even ohanoe to bid their fa milies good-bye, but had to skedaddle, and reached 'Memphis by .travelling in the -night They had emigrated originally -from New' York, and were - goibg back there. They would rather, they Said, take the chances of- , 11 draft than stand this oonseription. - • :e. - • , LOSS OP THE - AbACIL This be - art-rending accident, which occurred`on the 19th ultimo, lathe filet'of any importance that has occurred. in this neighborhood.

Sigel and McDowell marched that morning up the turnpike from Warrenton towards Omi treville, where the enemy was eupposed to be. This road pewees through. Bull Bun battle-field, five miles west of Centreville. Hooker, Porter, and Beno moved from our left (now, &ewe faced about toward Washington, becomea our right,) toward the same point, via Manassas Junc tion. Sigel, in advance” of McDowell: reached Gaines ville, four miles from the 801 l Run field, that night, and name upon the enemy's cavalry and atragglere. Beating a few bows; by 3 o'clock he was moving. . The enemy =did dot appear in front, and, leaving' McDowell to take ewe of .that road, Sigel turned to the right to connect With Hooker at Manassas Junction. Hooker had fought near there on. Wednesday, (of which I will speak in a moment,) and ilwas' possiblehe needed help. " Kum GAINS A. VinTOSYs i . . . When within two miles of the Junction,Sigel learned that the enemy was on- the Warrenton ro ad,'and tarn lug abort to the left be Marched. to the ninth side . of the -Ball Rem field. It was then 6 P. M. MoDowiill, who, as before elated, had romained on that roadhetween the enemy and ' warrantors, hal been throwing shell some .houre, and now' we'could hear musketry.' Gaining the heights, where Hunter fought a year ago,.and approx.:h ies the turnpike, we could locate the scene of the en gagement by the line of nuaketryllisbes. It was King'e division repelling the enemy in hie attempt to escape to ward Warrenton. The affair lasted twehoure, and King; held the field. We bad come neon the enemy's left flank. - Bceenck's division became partially engaged, gave the enemy'', cavalry &fees shell, then the whole corp&rested% for the night. At the very time King:Was fightlogon the Warrenton road, Ricketts: was engaged fighting rebel reinforcements coming up through Thoroughfare Gap, .five -mules further -west. He' was compelled, having suffersd a loss of 260, to withdraw and join King, after the latter bad finished his day's work. Beynolds'.ffivi. sion (Pa Iteserves,) then temporarily with McDowell's come ' was in the same vicinity. - THE SITUATION ON TRIDAYi ' The situation, then ' Friday morning, was this : Slgel'a corps (divisions of Schurz, -Milroy... Stelnwehr, and 13chencS) on the Bill RIM field, Venting to the west, was close against the enemy. - McDoweltra corps nearly connected with Sigel's on the latter'clelt, but was-not within fighting distance of the enemy. Heintzteman's corps (divisions of Hooker end - Kearney; add Reno's corps,) were at Centreville, moving down the turnpike, which weakliest' them upon Sigel'', sight. Porter was far back—seven or eight miles—in Sigel's rear.. These 1 corgatilietek% *Reno's, Ifeletzleman's, McDowell' , and 'Porter's—Were all that were engaged at any time during the two days, Friday and Saturday. They came into action in the order Ihave named them. ~ TRH ENEMY'S POSITION. .

They drove the enemy a mile or. more. Daring this time Schenck had" been engaged on. the left, but not heavily.

Betio arrived soon after. from tkagame - diregtion.' Stevens' division of his , corps matched to the lea to support Schenck, and the attack was once more along the - whole line. I should haie stated that some time before the gestation 'Milroy, after two hours of musherry in tornadoes, was driven back, much cut to pieces, and replaced by Steinwehr, who was assisted by Schenck at bis left. , TUE 81TXILZION'AT It was now one o'clock. Eligel's corps only had been engaged, and we had 'on the whole gained ground—at the right nearly a mile. It was reasonable to.suppose that , with the assistance of Reno and Heintsleman,und most of the day before us, we should utterly demolish the enemy. 'lt has since appeared that aimullaneonely with four reinforcements he received large ones. Longstreet's , whole 'command, whose passage through Thoroughfare Gap Ricketts bad disputed the day before, had now joined Jackson and Zwell, whom we bad been fighting. Hitherto Longetreet would naturally loin Jackson at his right; it was upon' our left,: and oocasionally ourVentre, that we' were most severely Dressed the remainder of the,day. Up to this time Sigel . had command of the field. .He bed made the dispositions before the fight,' and conducted it successfully six hours. Pops arrived from Centreville' about noon, and assumed command, but wisely and ge , neroully deferred to Sigel the rest of the day, Xs being best acoainted with the position. . • . - TB* L*FT FALLS BACK. At 2 o'clock the fight was raghig along the whole line terrifically, musketry like Gaines' Hill, and artillery like Malvern Bill.

[From the WheeHng Press Extra, Auguit 31 ] On Saturday night deepatebei were received by Adju.: taut General Samuels, from reliable source., stating that two bodies of rebel cavalry, under ' lmboden and Jenkins,'" had taken Buckbanuan and Weston, nod were 'on their. , way to Clarksburg. Orders were immediately issued (or the arming and marching of ' the 12tli Regiment to the '- scenes of the movements of the wretches. All night the General and his assistants, as well as the officers of the 12th, were engaged in preparing to'send off the men, and this (Sunday) morning they were despatched as rapidly as possible, every exertion possible having been made to • complettetbeir equipment. They were marched to the depot of the Baltimore and Ohio .Baliroad, and there,, armed with - Belgian rifles of thei latest pattern; which they brindled with a familiarity and ease of welcome re; markable for raw recruits, and they were sent off in fut. ; - provieed passenger card prepared by rough seats con.' structed in freight trains. • DEPARTURE OP TES TROOPS. The news of these movements having spread rapidly throughout the city; our population was in a commotion almost equal to any which has agitated it since the corn rrencement. On the .march, of the regiment from the camp to the depot and at the-latter pl ace, they -wore at tended by troops of friends and relatives, and many was the beart.rendlog scene of this very sudden parting. Crowds of the lookers -on,' and many who essayed to con tribute to, the comfort and encouragement of the men filled the streets, and not a few of both sexes .li:eight them water, and gave them various article! of , provisions to fill their haversacks for the trip. DETAILS OF TUB .RICBILL RAID. And now to the, raid which caused so great an excite meat, and demanded the immediate despatch - of these . ' men. We learned from a gentlentlan who arrived from Clarketairg this (Sunday) morning, having left there on Saturday night, at eleven o'clock, that news reached that place on ttatnrday afternoon that the 'rebels were ad vancing upon Clarksburg in two detachments, having avoided Gen. Kelly, whoever, at.

A: large majority of the citizsas also turned out, and were armed (those who had no arms of , their ov n)'from the Quartermaster's station at Clarks burg,' It was hoped, too, that Col. Wilkinson might be able to get two more companies of his regiment from the West before the rebels would reach Olarkeburg, so that there teemed to be - a good. force : and a determination to give them a warm reception. • With the military force at Colonel Wilkinson's diepo. sal, mid the aid of the citizens .who; had turned, out, it was believed that possession ' of Clarksburg could be re tained lentil reinforcenients should arrive. .

It is to be hoped that the 12th may get through safe, and in time to aid in punishing, if not in capturing the bold- pa gaud ere of Jenkins and Imboden. If the matter is well •managed,.atid the apparently feasible concentration of all the above named forces can be effected, there is a chance of not only preventing the raid upon Clarksburg, but also the retreat of thole foraging .bands that have so . lone hammed central and Southern Virginia • from the Alleghenies to the Ohio river. • • .

[limn the Cincinnati Commercial cf Monday.] The 'people of this city and vicinity were greatly agi tated; Friday night, by reports of disaster to Federal arms in a severe battle fought near Richmond, Ky., ,on Saturday: Yesterday, excitement increased into alarm, which was intensified by the hasty departure of Major General Wright and Mali for Lexinoton--caused,by te legrams from Major General Nelson that his army-hid been' defeated, and that heWas wounded. During the day the new&ofilces were crowded by excited citizens ; but no 'definite tidings were received until about eight o'clock intbe evening. when General Nelson was brought to the city, a number of fugitives from Richmond arriv ing by the same train. After countless inquiries, we' collected a*ceneltdent and intelligent history of the en. gagement. • WE ATTACK THE REHELH AND' ARE DEFEATED— OUR • MY3O..

PARTICULARS OF 'THE BATTLE OF' FRIDAY,- The particulars of the battle are as follows : Friday afternoon (August 29) the Union cavalry pickets, under command of Cols. Metcalfe and Mundy, were driven 'ih from the foot - of Big Bill (some ten or twelve miles south of Richmond.) . Gen. Manson ad vanced about a mile and a half from his camp near Rich mond, and discovered the enemy's camp. Be immediately opened upon them with several field pieces; and tho enemy retreated after a sharp exchange, leaving ono of their guns in our possession, the advantage of Abe fight being.deci. dedt yin our favor. Gen. Manson then moved tc Rogers ville, about six miles from Richmond; and halted there during the night, the troops sleeping' on their arms. During the night Col. Metcalfe was ordered to scht down the road in search of the' enemy, and he passed some twelve or -fourteen miles beyond our lines, passing and roaming, as was subsequently ascertained, without discovering the enemy, having adroitly moved off by the flank into cornfields some distance from the road. About seven miles oat, on - his return, he ran foal of some rebel pickets, and skirmished with them, but finally withdrew end returned to camp. . WIIAT WAS DONE ON SATURDAY Between five and six o'clock on Saturday morning, Gen. Manson moved a mile or two below Bogeraville with two regiments, three field pieces, and a. ceffee-mill gun, driving in the enemy's cavalry pickets, which wore posted in the woods on the right of the road. A consider able body, of cavalry was now disoovered retreating, and Gen. Manson brought his guns - to bear upon thorn, ex pediting thelrflight. Soon, afterwards a battery, appa rently about a mile distant, replied, and a sharp artillery fightenstied; in which the practice was excellent, both *date being compelled to shift position frequently.. Our guns were managed by artillery officers from Gen. G. W. Morgan's anny, who.had been homo on furlough, and' being unable te'return to their post, had been ordered to this speciel duty by Maj. Gen. Lew Wallace during his brief command in Kentucky. • Meantime Gen. Manson bad formed his two regiments in line of battle on the right and left of the road. The remainder of the division was ordered up and formed on the right and left of the line; the left in a hollow resting on a corn-field and woos. The line had scarcely been formed when the pickets on the left reported the enemy advancing in force. Sharp firing was heard in that direction, and the skirmishers on the left were won warmly engaged. Not long afterwards the enemy wore driven back, the fighting being in our favor, butrabel reinforcements coming up, the colonel in command of skirmishers reported that he was hard pressed, and asked for reinforcementi. By this time the fight bad become hot, the enemy pressingforward with jest niarched from the' barveit:tields of - Tridiana:=Atoder command of Col Korf (formerly lieutenant colonel of the 10th Ohio), was ordered In as support. The regiment on the extreme left was then staggering under a terrific fire from superior numbers, and the 69th was obliged to move across an open field which was raked by the rebel artil lery. Brit Col. Koff brought his gallant Hoosiers to a charge bayonets, and dashed across the field unfalteringly, ben falling at every step; but the noble fellows closed up with the steadiness and fidelity-of veterans. • TIIE Lan . WINO GLYES'WAT Meantime General Gnift's brigade bad formed on the left.' The slairniishers had been driven in and the battle was opening all along the line. The . 69th stood fasti and 'replied to the enemy furiously. But the enemy soon ap peared in overwhelmingforce. ;It was obvious the splen did 69th mutt go down, unless supported. The 71st:In diens, under the 'gallant Lieut. Col. Topping, was or dered- ap, tinethrongh* some misunderstanding, did not move according to direction. The 69th at last, pressed by irresistible force, gave way. The 71st now reached the proper. point, but too late - to' save the 69th. The enemy eoneentrated . their fire. on it. Lieutenant Colonel Topping's horse was now•shet, and' he soon fell dead, while inspiring his command. Soon after, Major Concklin also fell, - By this time General' Orutt's three 'pieces of artillery. bad opened, at short range, with canis ter upon the enemy, and with cheering success ; but the rebels pressed upon him so hardly that he was forced to order the pieces to retire in order to save theni. Not long after, the whole wing gave way, and the right' followed, but in rood order. Their officers tried to rally broken orgsnixatiulp, and the men responded - with alacrity to 'every order they comprehended i but most of them being wholly Indented, sore unable to execute mantenvres which were ordered, and some of the officers, as green as the men, were unable to give intelligent commands. The brat engagement lasted about two boner td' C half. and the lose was heavy on bottesides. ,' - THE LINE AGAIN FORMED After retreating between two and three miles, General Manson again formed in lino of battle on a range of.hilis extending through corn-fields, his right covered by woods. Hie artillery.was posted on the right 'and left wings, and when the enemy came up in pnrsnit soother sharp artillery fight ensued. The rebels finally sent heavy force through the woods on the right; 'evidently intending to turn the right flank ; but they were met by the 18th Kentucky, Qol. Warner, and another regiment, and another severe engagement ntned, our men fighting. bravely, though in 'tome confusion on account of their ex treme rawness. At one time they succeedld in driving. back their assailants, but the latter being heaVily rein forced, pressed upon them vigorously, and notwithstand ing the vigor with which they were resisted by Warner's regiment, and two pieces playing upon them with, canister at short range, they succeeded in turning our flank and throwing our men into confusion. Oolonel' Warner was dangerously, it is said mortally, wounded in, this fight, and 'his regiment. Lat. heavily. The men, seemed panic-stricken, and the enemy, pressing hard upon thorn, punished them severely-across the open RlaZ IDLY LOSP—NELSON WOUNDEID • It was now about two o'clock, and what was left of the eoluma—somewhere about 8,000 men—were miehlus . rapidly toward hichniond. About a mile from town they were wet by fdtjar Gen. Nelson, who had just arrived from Lexington, and the men were rallied again, and" formed in line of battle. But the apunuottlon of the-Wilt .ed Pounders was exhausted, and only a small supply was left . for a 12. round howitzer This, however. was got 'lnto position, and was worked with good effect until** emzennitionwaiexhatsted; wbereit was sent to the rear Until more could be brought up. tinfo:tunately, the road had been blocked up by panicky teamsters, and it we. a . long time before the gun was brought back.

We could not ascertain any facts 'about the 96th, which wee the only Ohio regiment in the fight. The troops generally, however, behaved remarkably well for. utterly raw levies, and, according to all accounts the 69th Indiana covered Itself all over with glory. While the battle was approach inteßiclirdond the Union people became very restive, and during the afternoon many of them,fled in dismay—soma to the . country northward, some to Lexington, others to Louisville, and quite a number to this city. • t OUR LOSSES- No person could form an estimate last night of our basso, but they were undoubtedly very severe. There were all sorts of rumors about great numbers wounded, Wiled, and prisoner's, but. nobody seemed to know any. thing about it:.•'lt is (mita 'probable, however, that one. or =re, of the troonsengaged were killed. wouud 'ed, and captured.

' We' had a convereation with Mr, Moore, last evening, front , which we make up the following narrative of their ex citing journey : • .; • Mr. Moore and wife hid been boarding-for some weeks' with the Bev. Mr. Biggs, at the • Flazlewood B,enubitc, about six miles frcnr the Upper -Agenoy. - On Mender' night,• August 18th, about nine o'clock, some of the • friendly Indians came to Mr. Riggs, and said the Indians were killing the settlers at the Lower Agency, and urged' him to gather the settlers - and leave for Fort• Hidgely. The settlers gat Mr. Curmingliatu , s team, -and, guided by' friendly Indians, were pl'oted to an island in the river, about three miles fiord Hszlewood, where they remained. , secreted until Monday afternoon. . On. Monday afternoon Andrew Hunter oame in, end' reported his iamily and a part of Dr. Williamson', se- creted further down the river, and that he had his toamt and cattle and was ready to 'start: The party united. and on T nosday evening they commenced their danger onsjourney. A providential thunder-dorm obliterated' their tracks, so that the Indian, could not trail them. They started oat upon the prairie, in a northeasterly di— rection, and, on Wednesday morning southeasterly, tiltl they struck the Laconi.Parlo road, and thence directly towards Fort Ridgley. On Friday afternoon they passed' near Beaver Creek settlement, wherethey werejoined by ;. Rev Mr. Williamson and the remainder of his family * making the whole number of the party about fortreoula. Andrew Hunter then undertook the perilous feat of going forward in advanee' and communicating with the fort, which he succeeded in accomplishing about eleven • o'clock on Friday night. At midnight he came back. finding the party had come np to within a mile and a half":; of the fort, and reported that he had been in the fort, had' seen Lieutenant Sheehan, and the latter told him that tt' , ' would be safer for the p arty. to keep away from the fort . and endeavor to reach Henderson. Lieutenant Sheehma said his soldiers bad been obliged to•fight almost confine• - : ally for five days, and that they were very much ex.. handed and could not hold out much longer ; that they were nearly tivehundred women and children in the fort, and it was difficult to "obtain water and that it would be-7 much the better • plan for the mitZionary party to make their escape, if possible. Acting on the infonnatioebrought by .Mr. Hunteri the party struck out far the prairie, and travelled Ric • some time, when they halted for two hours to rest, after; which they proceeded in a northeast direction until they , reached the. Henderson road on Saturday, and arrived safely at Henderson on Monday. As they named within five miles :of the Norwegian , .
