ANOTHER BATTLE EXPECTED. St. Lodis, Mo., August 6. A battle has occurred at Dag Spring, nineteen miles sooth of Springfield, Mo, between the Fed- ral forces under Geo Lyon, and the Rebel troops under Sea. McOul loch. Eight of the Federal troops were killed and thirty wounded. The Rebels lost forty killed and fourty-foor wounded. General Lyon took eighty stand of arms and fifteen horses and wagoos. A body or United Status cavalry, two hun dred and seventy io number, made a charge on the Rebel Infantry, said to have been four thousand strong, and cut their way through them, and returned with a loss of only five Deo. The charge is described as most gallant as well as terrific. Several of the Rebels were found with their heads cloven entirely through by the words of our dragoons. The enemy retired during the eight, and General Lyon took poesessioo of the field. Another battle was momentarily expected. the Rebels beiog io Urge force west of BpriogSeld. The particulars of the fight will be trans mitted as soon as possible. REBEL POLITICS. It will not surprise any one who under stands the character of the men who have been the chief leaders in the great rebellion, to know that they are ulready forming polit ical parties, and that they will probably bave rival candidates io the Gld for the Presiden cy of ibeir Confederacy. The issue opou which tbe parties will be divided is presented by a secessioo journal io tbe subjoined para graph : Two Candidates for Pbksidkst. Tbe Aogoita (Ga.) Chronicle expects veiy sooo to see two perties arraved io the new Con federacy, struggling for tbe Presidency next Fall, and tbe division, it thinks, will be opon tbe point of admitting other Slates, "one favoring tbe admission of other States which may choose to accept our Constitution, tbe other clinging to tbe delusion of a pure Slaveocracy." Tbe present Provisional t re ident and Vice President both "favor the idea of ultimate reorganization," while Howell Cobb, it is implied, and the ultra Soutbero party, are forever opposed to tbe admission of free States. Here, theo, says the Chroni cle, is tbe programme, as we tbiok. riowell Cobb lor President, upoo tbe basis of oo admission of any free State, and no admission of such slave States as will give tba power io the Coolederacy to admit free States by a two'tbirds vote, in ibis wise, as we take It it s party to be organized io opposition to lbs present aamioieirauoo.

Have you once denounced his course 1 You publish extracts from Southern papers, full of secession tendency, do you edi torially denounce the cnurre of May, Valanding- ham and Uurnelt. If you do not I hen are you as much a Secessionist as they. You ask why 1 Because your paper was atarted as their apolo gist, and until you renounce all political sympa thy with them you are one of their number. Every article published against a constitutionally elected government ia treason." tj3T What tub War will Cost. Tbis is a question tbat is now discussed by some of the newspspers, certainly for no good purpose. Tbe man who will stop to count the cosaoof tbe war receasary to sustain bis country, is no patriot. W hatever wealth oor people bave ia owing to our present good government. If that is destroyed, tbe loss will be a hundred fold greater than tbe cost of the war, ss pro perty would hardly be worth holding. Be. sides, it is a great mistake to suppose Ibe money expended in a war is all lost. II ol. land grew sad increased in wealth while pro secuting s seven years' war, aod it is oot cer tain tbat tbis war, though a great calamity will not in the end prove a blessing. Tbe great loss of blood aod treasure will be ex pended iu placing oor government oo a fouo dalioo tbat rebels will never attempt to shake hereafter.

He feft tbat city at ao early hour on Saturday morning on tbe train of tbe Alleghany Valley ltailruud ror Butler. J nit route is a somewhat circuitous one, bot he preferred it because it shortened (he stage ride necessary to reach that town. When tbe reg ular train bad proceeded nineteen miles from I'lttsborv, its further progress wat arrested bv some damage to the road, which bad been caused by a heavy rain, and which workmen were repairing. A band car, which could carry but a limited number of passengers, was ottered lor tbe use ol as many ol tbem ss it could accommodate, and Dr. Bowmao was nrged to get ou it, but be declined to do so, and, with a number of bis fellow-travellers, be preferred to walk to tbe point, some three miles distant, where they could again enter tbe cars of a regular traiu (or stage). Tbe bund car and the pedestrians started simulta neously, but when tbey arrived at their desti nation il was noticed tbat ooe passenger was missing, and the others started at once, with out him. Tbe band car started to return to the place wbeie the firtt detention occurred, immediately, but wben the man in charge ol it reached a point about a mile Irom his nesii nation, be saw a body lying by tbe roadside and io an ounalural positiuo, aod bis curiosi IV being excited, he stopped to examine it, when be lound it was a corpse, uotog nackt to the breach io the road, he found ipere Mr. l'rauklio Wright, tbe engineer, who euperin. teoded Ibe repairs which were being made, who recognized the corpse as the mortal re muins of Dr. Bowuiun, whom be had observ nd oo the train, but who was probably on known to his fellow passengers, eod whose death was so sudden tbat be bad oo frieud to cheer his last hours, and no one to witness tbe departure of bis spirit or the brighter and better world Tor which bis exemplary ca reer, so far as human minds can judge, pecu lierlv fitted bim. His rema'tis were promptly sent back to Pittsburg, and from that city forwarded to Lancaster on Sunday morning. It ia suppos ed thot be died between 6 and 9 o clock on Sat urday morning, aud it is believed bis death was caused by apoplexy. Wben bis body wat found a slight scratch wat perceptible on his nose, caused by tbe fall, and be bad appa rently welled his handkerchief snd placed it in his hat, to relieve himself from a pain in bis bead. His couotenaoce presented a very natural appearance. He will be buried st Lancaster, at 9 o'clock tbit afternoon. Dr. Bowman was twice married.

Thc Dkadlt Riflr Tbe returns of killed and wounded at the battle of Bull Run are necessarily imperfect, but enough has been received to show that tbe losses among officers, especially 'commissioned" ones, are much larger in proportion to tbeir number, tbao tbose among privates. Tbe killed are '2 Colonels, 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 2 Majors, 16 Captains, and 7 Lieutenants; and the wounded. 2 Acting Mujor-Ueueruls, 8 Colo nels, 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 3 Majors, 16 Captains, sod 33 Lieutenants. Tbe casual ties among captains are particularly noticea ble. Making every allowance lor ibe extra exposure of officers on horseback aod tbos on fool in front, or si tbe side or tbeir com panies, tbere is still no doubt that a large number of the killed and disabled on that fatal day were singled out aod snot by exp?rl marksmen, wbo were enable a to take oeiioe rate aim from rifle pits or behind trees. Tbe distance between the hostile forces was repeatedly small eoougo io permit tue Dickine off of individuals with perfect cer tainty by any persoo moderately skilled in the ose of the rifle. What Iobs was sustained among the officers of the enemy is not known ; but, as many thousands of the United Stales forces engaged were also armed with rifles, it may fairly be supposed tbat tbe sharp shooters io oor ranks osed these weapons ith deadly effect opon the wearers of shoul der straps and swords wherever they could be seen.

It ia hoped that tbe new quota of Zo.UUU irom tbis State will be armed with these weapons, and not be compelled to feel their inferiority to troepa from tbe New England States, constantly passing through Ibis city to Wasbiogtoo, all of whom carry rules, and, wbat would be more serious, to feel tbat they Philadelphia Market.
