Gen...Seigel received his commisaim as Brigadier General on Satur day, and assumed command of the Federal fore.* yesterday. ~McDonald was escorted beyond the lines yes terday and sent on to Springfield. He, no doubt, gained much valuable information of the strength and`Position of our forces, etc., as it is said that he bad the freedom of our camp under his flag of truce. ' Our wounded - at Springfield are reported to be doing well. The correspendenf of the St. Louis Republican furnishes the following : Gen. Sterling Price has 'maxi a proclamation at Springfield to the effect that a great victory had been won, and that thenorthern oppressors of Missouri' have been driven back. That every one belonging to the home guard organized or will be organiz ed, ' t will he regarded and treated as an enemy to the t southern confederacy; but that his protec tion would eitend to such who quietly return to their homes.and allow the southern sway • to nrirtmli and that whoever recognizes the pro visionallgoyenhnent if Missouri will be conga= ered as an enemy to State and will he dealt with accordingly. Capt. McDonald reports *that Gen's. Price and Clark were slightly, and Brigadier General S'wk seriously wounded, in the late engage merit. Also, Col. Bay, formerly Captain of Jack son's Body Guard. McDonald was very anx ious to go to St. Louis, bat his application was refused.

TEE CITY IN . NO DANGER: hapeeted Proelamitton from the Prot- dent. WASHINGTON Aug. 19 The Government is disappointed that troops do not arrive in greater numbers from the North. This is the reason why the order , from the War Department, ordering regimenta and parts of regiments' hither, was issued last night. Washington city is 'safe 'ln the opinion of those beat qualified to judge; butif the Federal Government is ever to resume offensive opera tions, more loyal troops must be sent forward to begin the work again. Assistant Secretary Fox, of the Navy Depart ment has returned from a trip down the river as far as Acquia Creek. It is believed that mea sures are to be taken at once to protect more efficiently the navigation of the Potamac. For the present, vessels pass and repass - without molestation. It is rumored that the President has another proclamation ready, closing the rebel ports and naming each port so closed to commerce. At the late session of Congress , this was authorized. The weather continues very warm. The health of -the troops in the camps about here continues good. There is oonsiderable excitement in Washing ton, to-day, respecting the alleged movements tkf the rebels on the city. Capt. Holley, Qnartcumastnr of the regiment of Kentucky Cavalry, was waited Jost night, charged with a breach, of duty. Great activity is manifested at the War De *trona to-day. Mr. Sanderson, of the Sanihiry Commission, was, according to report, to have had a com mis4on as Commissary, but it is announced by the War Department that there are "no vacan yies."

The full and ino:implete tegimenta will doubt less now be forwarded as rapidly as possible. The latter will be merged so as to form full, regiments. Recruiting is going on rapidly, and the city can probably send 15,000 men to Wash ington in a few days. LATER FROM MISSOURI The Rebels Fire Upon a Government ,Steamer.

Stifel's Fifth regiment of reserve corps and Col. Worthington's Fifth lowa were coming down the river on the Government deciliter they were frequently fired upon with cannon and small arms by the secessionists from thobank, killing one and wounding seven or eight of the troops. There is great excitement among the people along the river, in come quence of greatly exaggerated accounts of the battle near Springfield, which is represented as a great victory for the aeceahors. Iftesxos, Mo., Aug. 18. Messengers bring information. that Col. Hecker, who left here on Thnrsday enremtin i s, with his magi:meat, ma:prised a body of some four hundred rebels near Fred erickaton early yesterday morning, and captur ed all their camp equipage and ate the break fast which they had just prepared.

May 'I not appeal to you as a soldier, asking you for the moment to throw away all ceremony, and allow the Colonel's orderly, who was with him when he fell in the field, to search for the body of his lamented commander?

His endorsement is as follows :--- " Military usage has established the mode of communication between beligerents.

BainAna RILLDQUARTIRS, Alisadria, Va., Aug. 13, 1861. Apr. Josas, First Virginia Cavalry : Sta—l ant perhaps overstepping mili tary custom and usages in thus communicating -with you. The holy mission in which I am engaged is my only apology. Cul. Cameron was a warm personal friend of mine, and for the sake of his family, and to learn the spot where his bones are laid, I would do anything in honor and fairness. Ido not wish you to compromise yourself in the slightest degree, or to do anything that a gallant soldier would not dem it his duty to perform. Ido not want any favor that your generous Colonel (Stewart) would not grant at once. I simply ask you the great favor to mark the spot where a brave man has fallen, thus to enable his be - reeved family to uncover, at the end of this unnatural strife, the ashes of a fond and devot ed father, of a good and brave man. Captain Johnston says that you were kind enough to mention to him that you found the body of one of our officers, with the likenesses on his per sou of our Secretary of War and his lady, and other articles of jewelry, which led you to sus pect it was Col. Cameron's remains. You were right in your surmises. Do, my dear Captain, do a duty you owe to a brave and generous foe, and do an everlasting . favor to me. If we cannot have his remains, mark the spot where his body is burled ; and if your gallant Colonel will send the likenesses by a flag of truce, I will deem it such a favor as only a brave and generous enemy could bestow. Hoping I have not overstepped the duties of a soldier in thus addressing you, I have the honor to remain, my dear sir, yours truly, Nzw Toils., Aug. 19 The above letter was conveyed by Captain Johnston, of the Thirty-seventh regiment, w/to returned the following letter to General Mo- Conn, and with it the correspondence ended': CAPTAIN JOHNSTON TO GENERAL M'CIINN ALEXANDRIA, Va., Ang. 14, 1861. To GENERAL McCoNs Diaz Sts—i have the honor to report that I delivered your letter, as required, to Captain Jones that Captain Jones blindfolded me and took me to Fairfax Court House, where I saw Colonel Stewart, of the First Virginia cavalry. Colonel Stewart informed me that the like nesses and other things found on Colonel Cam eron's body were in the possession of one of his officers now in Richmond; that the same would be at once obtained and forwarded to you, and you alone, as Colonel Stewart consid ered ;that he would not, under any circum stances, render any favor to the Secretary ,of War or any other member of the government. Captain Jones further says that he has marked the spot where the remains of the lamented Colonel Cameron are buried and will remain till tho times comes when they will, be most willingly given up to his family. All which I have the honor most respectfully to report, JAMES W JOHNSTON, Captain Co. K, Sith regiment, N. Y. B. Y. INTKRIOTING OORRISPONDBNCII ON MILITARY 00IIR- The Richmond Dispatch publishes the follow ing correspondence between Arnold Harris, the agent sent by Secretary Cameron to obtain the body of his brother, and General Beauregard : JULY, 22, 1861. To GENERAL BEAUREGARD, OR COMMARDLNO Gm can CONYEURFIATE ARMY : Sra—l send this by a friend and trusty ser vant, who is well known to many officers in your army. He is sent for the purpose of ob taining from you a permit for Mr. H.S. McGraw and myself to pass your lines to obtain the body of Colonel Cameron, who fell in the action of yesterday. My solicitude in this matter is an impulse of private character. The rigid robs established in Washington with reference to flags of truce prevent me from carrying out my wishes without proceeding as I am now doing. I believe General B. will recollect me while a resident iu New Orleans; but if President Davis, General Lee, General Johnston, General Wig fall, Colonels Miles, Keitt or Withers are pres ent they will not hesitate to vouch for me. General Bonham, and, in fact, nearly all of your of f icers know me. In addltionto the Brat itication of performing a sacred duty, I would be highly delighted to meet in your camp many of my most valued friends. It is proper for me to add that I have not been in any manner con nected with the action of the government and that I am neutral. Sir—l am instructed by General Beauregard, commanding the First Corps, army of the Po tomac, to say that he has received your rote of the 22d, and to reply thereto. The General declines giving an informal prir mit to any one residing beyond his advanced lines for any purpose which may be accom- I plished by those formal proceedings known to, i and practised by civilized beligerent nations.— By no act of his will he lower the dignity of the Confederate States as a nation by permitting that to be done indirectly . which the usages of civilized warfare accomplish directly. the arbitrary and unusual course adopted in such cases as you refer to by the United States government, will be the guide of the General% conduct in return. Any one, therefore, coming-. within his lines without the proper flags Wi., II APE. sent under an escort to the Confederate goveqi meat for examination. The General deems proper for me to add thiit humanity should teach an enemy to care, !for - 16v wounded, and Christianity tobury its dead. I a m, sir, your obedient servant, JOHN L. MAIMING, Aid-de-Camp'. we me the following in it late number o the St. Louie Dowerat: "We learned laatevening from reliable sources that the State.of California haa offered the gov ernment 60,000 troops, and that the War De pertinent has Ranted them.
