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

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

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

cannon and small arms by the secessionists from

battle near Springfield, which is represented as
a great victory for the aeceahors.

By the kindness of General McCunn I am able
to transmit you the enclosed copies of corres
pondence which have passed between him and
Colonel Stewart, of the rebel army, on the sub
ject of delivering up the rems.i .s of the late
Colonel Cameron, of the Seventy-ninth regi

lift DEAR SlR.—The bearer, Lieut. Jones, of

hand you this. My object in sending to you is
this, Col. Cameron, a warm personal friend of
mine, fell in the battle of Bull Run. His lady
and family are in great distress about his body.
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? I make
this free with you because your Lieut. Banger

HsenguArennis, FAIRY X Corms House, Aug. 4.
DBAR GENERAL—Your communication of yes
terday was duly received under a flag of trUbe.
4, the subject matter of yofir letter belonged
properly to higher authority, and had in fact
already been the occasion of communications
which have been referred to General J. E. Johns
ton Confederate States army,' my commander,
1 had no power to act, but felt bound to refer it
to the General commanding the Confederate
States forces, of which my command is part.
His endorsement is as follows :---
" Military usage has established the mode of
communication between beligerents. When
ever the military authorities of the United
States make such a request as that preferred,
and in the manner established by military cus
tom, it shall be complied with pm:aptly. As
there is an established mode of communication,

Allow Ina to add that our President has given
official assurance, and our gallant General is too
well known to the authorities of the United

strictest civilized usage will be spared. Most

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,

CAPTAIN JOHNSTON TO GENERAL M'CIINN

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,

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.
