• TH D , LA
Fr. Missouri our news concerning
:affairs „with Col. Mulligan at Lexington
•is net full or entirely clear. We know,
however, that at 6 ,o'elock on Saturday
• morning the National flag, was flying over
.his entrenchments, and there is good rea
son to believe that he would not only be
able to bold his position, but that,, with
the aid of the re•enforeenients goiut to
Jhini, be would succeed in upsetting Gen.
Price. • Col.- Mulligan is in trenched otaa
ridge between the main city of Lexington
and Old Town; Price is said to hold the
latter place. Mulligan's force consisted
of about 3500 men; it is not known with.
accuracy how many Price had, though
30,000 is the number spoken of in , con
nection with him. This is probably a
greatly exac r' rerateth report. Concerning
the actual fighting between Price and
Mulligan, it is not possible to speak with
any,confidence; the stories of the action
or actions are contradictory. All accounts
agree, however, that the National troops
have with a comparatively small number
kept a large Rebel force in check, and
that important re-enforceinents from Jet%
ferson City would very soon •reach Lex
ington and turn the tide of affairs.
-Later.—Our latest news IrMu Lexing
ton reports the surrender of Col. Mulligan.
The intelligence, however, is received
with doubt both -at Washingtoo , and St.
Louis, and at the latter place ri-enforce
meats were still going forward yesterday.
The report conies in a dispatch to Chicago
from Quincy, Illinois where it. was brought
by the mail agent of the Hannibal and
St. Joseph Railroad, and is confirmed by
passengers on the same train. it was
brought to Hamilton, about 50 miles from
Lexington, by stagel • According to this
statement, Col. Mulligan was compelled, at
last, to yield to superior numbers, after
four days hard fighting—hjs men having
been, for the last two days, without a drop
~ of water. The report of the loss on both
shies is about the same as that previously
. - received.
A part of the story is that a 'body of,
'.4000 Rebels had encountered. ;the Iowa!
3d, and afterward fell into the hands of
, . Gen. Lane. The date of this battle is
not given. It bad not, however, been
heard of at Jefferson City on' Friday, a
dispatch or that date to The St. Louis
Donor . a t reporting that Gen. Lane !mil
arrived at, Lexingtou. IV of the truth
of this statement there' seems to have
. heen no positive knowlege in St. Louis on
Saturday. On the whole, 'tiering the,
round-about way in whicl the report ofi
n
Mulligan's surrender co s, thetfact that
`is said to have taken place early on Fri
day morning, and that no such inform.
tion, -in any other way, had reached St.
Louis yesterday morning, there is certainly
room for hope that it is without founda
tion. .We shall undoubtedly know ;he
truth in the course of the day.
" At Blue Mills ,Landing, on the Missis
sippi River, on. the 17th inst., a desperate
fight took place between 500 of the Ist 1
lowa Regiment, under Leiut.-Col. Scott,
and about 4000 of the Rebrls. After an
hour's fighting, Col. Scott retired slowly
and in good order. Afterward Col. Smith's
command came to his aid, but night fell
before the, fighting 'could be renewed ;
when morning again came the enemy had
retired, and there was none to strive
against. In this engagement Lieut.-Col.
'eat lost 5 killed, 84 wounded, 8 missing.
_,., From Kentucky we have a proclamation
from Gen. Robert Andlcrson calling on
. .., the loyal citizens of the State to sustain
and for the Government. The rebel,
' Gen. Buckner has also -issued a prochuna•
,:
tion, wherein he makes a lying - pretense
, of aiding the State to preserve a neutral
position, and promising to depart with his
troops as.soon as the National forces leave.
Private advices from the State speak of
the spread of the. Union feeling, and say
, that the approach of Gen. Buckner has
aroused the indignation of the people,
who are rushing to arms for the purpose
of assisting to drive the Rebels, from their
• soil. .
A deserter from the. Rebel army, just
arrived in Washing too, says that Beaure
gard has 185,000 men under him; that
they are well fed, well shod, well clothed
that they are regularly paid, and in ex
cellent health and spirits; On the other
hand, a person described as a most intel
ligent man,just from Manassas, states
that the Rebel army is demoralized, that
great -nutubers of them aro leaving for
their homes in the Gulf States, and that
they have not even force enough to defend
themselves from out attack, to say nothing
of moving on to Washington.
FROZE "OUR BOYS II IN CAMP.
HARRISBURG, Sept. Bth; 1861.
D ar IVVe and Children : After
leav
ing I sway° and its long-to-be-remember
, icenes,lve drove as rapidly as'possible
to Wellsville. About three miles . out we
Were met by the firemen in.nniform; the
citizens in carriages, and a large company
of horsemen extemporized for the occa
sion, all preceded by a band of musicians
playing national airs. banners were
streaming over the streets and waving
from carriages, and all was excitement,:
bustle and parade. After marching
l around the town, the soldiers and citizens
who had accompanied them were furnish
ed, with an excellent supper by the ladies
of Wellsville. The cordial greeting and
,
grand reception and entertainment our,
bmvehoys met and received at Wellsville
will' be long and - gratefully reme,mber r ed.
At o'clock A. M. Friday, we Wore 'es
corted by the firemen with their torehes,
and accompanied by the band and many
citizens to the depot,where we bid a final
adieu to our friends and started for the
scene of'. strife`„ Just as the vaporti of
night were receding before the rising sun
we reached Elmira, when we learned that
the ears on the Williamsport road were
all pre-occupied and we could not go on
till next morning at 4-45. The sqldiers
marched to camp and found quarters, for
the day. In the camp I found .Mr.Cian
dalband Sawyer, the two men that used
to work for Cool* The men are com
fortably quartered and fed and are in good
spirits. About 1400 men are now in
camp. At the appointed time we, left
Elmira and after a pleasant ride reached
Harrisburg, at about 1 o'clock P. M., and
Camp Curtin at about ,2 P. 3.1., without
accident. -Tents, rations, cooking uten
sils, blankets, &c.,, , ivere immediately fur=
nished and the tents pitched and all things
comfortably arranged for the first night in
camp. All in good spirits. What 'our l
future arrangements will be is not yet de- !
termined. My health is as good as when
I left home; I think better. I have
walked more since I left home than I
have before for a long time, and though
I get tired, I stand it pretty well. It has
not brought on any of that difficulty 'of
breathing which it has heretofore produc
ed. I certainly am tie worse off than
when I left home. Yours affectionately
As I promised you, Mr. Editor, I now
forward to you for publication the names
of the Potter County Volunteers under
my ceninwid, until we.arrived,at Camp
Curtin. When we left Potter we expect
ed to fight together; but, a part of our
oath is to obey the orders of the Comman
der-in-Chief : the Secretary of War was
calling upon our Governor to forward as
fast as possible ail_the men in Camp Cur
tin. But they could not all be uniformed,
and our men having been mustered into
the United States service and uniformed'
and armed of course was the first to march.
When we arrived here, instead of lying
around camp, we went to work. The . men
were examined, mustered into, the State
service and then into the U. S. service.
It was hard for us to part; I was - attached
to the 45th 'Regiment, commanded by
Col. Welch, who is now the commander
of Camp Curtin, and the men under the
emergency of the case, taken 'to fill up
Col' Knipe's Reg't. Both companies are
in one Regiment; Capt. Graves on the
right of Capt. Widger, and both on the
left' Battalion. They left Camp Curtin
cheering for potter and the Union, and
did not forget their former Major. Our
men all behaved, ow the march to this
plahe like gentlemen. We lay in camp
ten days, without the slightest disorder.
When I asked if they had enough the
answer was yes and to spare ; I saw my
self, some of the boys giving bread to the
poor washerwomen. Our friend McNam
ara has been appointed Dram-Major in
one of the Reginients now filling up.
Rees will go into the band of Vol.Knipe'S
Reg't. If any one writes to the boys,
direct in care of their Capt. 46t1i Reg't
P.! V Col. Knipe. They are 'new at
Washington ; no doubt will remain there
sometime. A. Butterfield, S. B. Bacon,
Joseph Ileeley and-- Anice were hon
orably discharged—not being able to pass
the inspection of the surgeons..
But
But there appeared among our number
one who was. dishonorably Aisaharged.
But the truth', must be told :1 Amery
Lewis of Hebron' was drummed out of
Camp by his Own company. The modus
operandi was this : a greased pcile, each
end on two the tallest men its company, a
white flag put into his hand and then
Lewis mounted, and was marched around
Camp to the, tune of the Rogue's March
and the mans and hisses of thousands
Lewis went before the-. Burgeon did not
pass on account of his eyes. I heard the
surgeon tell , him: that he did not want to
go, if he did biS eyes walla hurt not him,
and he would T./at him because he was a
coward: - The boys say theY saw him rub
his eyes. with tobacco spittle. Served'
him right
I thank the 'kind friends of eotidei
sport = an d: Barclay. of Sinnemahoning
for the material - aid furnished. It
comes in play foi postage'and paper but
more than all for washing and tobacco !
Yours for the Union now - and forever,
