killing enlarge number, taking more than 200
prisoners, .and capturing a 'great Of

Fremont, on Friday night, was still at Warsaw ;
the pontoon* bridge, constructed 'by him over
the Dsage river, was to he finished on Satur
day; Siegel’s division had crossed tlie river. It
was reported that Bon McCullough had rfe-Cn
furced Price at.Oscijola, and that this ciTmhined
army had fortified that town and Ihero wanted
to give battle to Gen. Fremont. Another disr
patch says',tliat it'is Carthage where Price
means make his stand. Still another report
concerning Rebel affairs in,Missouri states that
Gen. Johnston has been placed in command of
all tho Rebels in that State ; but it is not ; inti
mated whether he supersedes Pi ice or not. All
the reports fioni that section imply dearly that
a hard battle, with a largo force‘on each side,
must soon ho fought. there.; - The city of Lex
ington Was recaptured by Mij. White on tlm
IGth inst. A large number ‘of ouf 'wounded
were released, and a ''number of the rebel gar

the”CapilaC in a fJniTlafmltig Country on; the'
main-**«vd.t)otaa;eu-Waihinglou and-Mannas
sas, is located Gen. McCall's division. Last
s ebpul-aoon, orders came formas ,tm
prepare to march ns sodn ns possible. I soon
learned that the order was general throughout
the division, but we ■ had received such orders,
so many times before, that we took it perfectly
cool, and did what we had to “do in short order.
About 2 o’clock,-the long roll whs sounded, and ,
wenveie drawn up in line of b title. There
was a long train of’Pennsylvanians, the fifteen
regiments of the Reserve Corps were for the'
first time in one marching train. We crossed
the Chain Bridge late in the- afternoon, And us
regiment after regiment stepped upon the soil of'
-Old Virginia,” the Heavens echoed with cheers;
Titty all felt that tho '•Rubicon” was crossed,
and the time was fast approaching when they
were to decide the destinies of America, -M e'
traveled eight miles and encamped in a fine oak'
groive, "by tho road-side. We.had no tents, but
whan the shadows'of night had gathered deep
and black, I curled down by the roots of ahold
oaki that had' stood the-storms of centuries,
with a.bunch of leaves for a pillow, and :iny
camp- ; sliawl over me, I . slept as soundly, as
though 1 had been .‘in’ my own Northern bomg.
Thursday morning found us all right, and with
in tfen yards ( of a secession nest. It had been
a guard-stand, and was made of grape-vine,
woven from one tree to another, about six fc»t
from the ground, arid then covered-with leaves
and'isiraw. I It reminded me of a ‘ bang-I,jrds
nest," and I trust it is. Everything-around-us
had the appearance of a fight—’regiments were
stationeddn the moat -commanding points—Jar-f
tlllcry was planted,- and cavalry mounted, but
there was. one thing lucking—there was noar
my to fight.' . 1 1 -'
One of our pickets was shot early in the
morning, which convinced us ■ that the - maid
gang,walnut fur off. We now have an ini- 1
menke army on this side of the river. l - We have
■lin'de a good advance, and th,ere-will be no re
treat ; our movements will b$ oincard. -All the
