veteran clergyman of the New-School Pres

service of his country in this war. His
youngest is Colonel of a Michigan Regi

an appropriate and touching spats+, which
was most affectionately responded to by the

Missouri,
Our army has retired from Springfield, mili
itary operations being impracticable, on account
of the condition of the roads. M'Culloch has
retired to Arkansas, and Price to the South
western county in Missouri. They burnt large
quantities of hay, 'oats, &c., as they retired, to
prevent their falling into the hands of our
'cavalry.
Rolla, at the termination of the South-western
branch of the Pacific Railroad, and Sedalia, at
the end of the railroad which runs West from
Jefferson City, are to be strongly occupied for
the Winter. Men can be speedily thrown out
from St. Louis, to either place. Having command
of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and of all
the railroads, a small force may be used to great
advantage. A large part of the army will be
moved toward Kentucky and Tennessee.
• Kentucky.
The news, last• week, of a splendid:. victory
gained by Gen. Nelson over the rebels in'Eastern
Kentucky, seems to have been greatly exaggera
ted. There was a battle, and a victory, and a
retreat, leaving our army in possession of the
field; but the slain and the prisoners were by no
means so numerous as stated.
Zollic6ffer was still on the xetreat toward Ten
nessee, at last accounts, and - his army diminish- .
ing ; but there is confusion i4he,statements. It
is probable, as reported, that Gen. Sidney A.
Johnston, now in supreme command of the Con- .
federate. armies in that region, is collecting a
large force,for an advance. It is said he has al
ready 4%000 troops concentrated, intending to
make a dash on Lexington, Louisville, and Cin
cinnati. We rather think heiwill not reach any
of these places. The national forces in Central
Kentucky are able to keep in check even a larger
army than that; while those at Paducah, Cairo,
and St. Louis, with the pin-boats, will call his
attention strongly to the Western part 'of the
State.
The Telegraph Advancing Round the World
The completing of the telegraph to San Fran

the Golden Horn, California, a distance of nearly
five thousand miles. The Russians are engaged.
in extending the European system through
Northern Asia, by the River Amoor, to Behring'e
Straits. This being done, and it will be shortly,
thenext movement will be from San Francieco
North'werd, through Cregon, .Washington Terri-;
tory, British Columbia, and the Russo-American
Possessions, to the same -Straits. Then, about
forty miles of sub-marine cable ; to pasa the
Straits, will connect all the important parte of
the civilized world. Even Africa is in the con
nexion, for the French have recently succeeded
in laying a wire through the Mediterranean.
True, this will be 'a round about way to send
news from Ireland, to Newfoundland and the
United States, but the system being completed, a
small part of a day- will suffice for the task.

The original charter was from Harrisburg to
Pittsburgh. The road has since bought the State

It has bought, or constructed and leased,_several

No great movement has yet taken place,
though - there is said to be great activity in every
department of tile service, and the preparations
for Winter quarters are on a scale quite too lim

is to tarry there.
,Troops are still flocking thither, and are to do
so for some time yet. "But the army probably
does not increase. Fifteen thousand left.tlisre
for Port Royal ; and fifteen thousand more sae
said to be now at Annapolis, awaiting transports
for the South. It may be a wise policy to keep
the rebels in large force at Manassas and along
the Potomac. They do but little harm there,
and are exhausting themselves, while they have
the far South open to the attacks of naval expe
ditions. '•

Port Royal.
In our last we gave a brief account of the
capture of this place by our fleet and army, -with
some description of the excellent harbor andlits
advantages as a basis of military operations in.
South Carolina.
There were 1;800 rebels on Hilton Head, aadt
1,500 on Bay Point. We have captured 55 can
non, 500 muskets, and any quantity of ammuni
tion. The road by which the rebels escaped was
covered with rifles, muskets, knapsacks, etc.
We have taken at least 2,500 blankets, and tents
for 3,000 men. The rebel guns were all 32-
pounders, four being rifled, and cast this year at
Richmond. The others were from Norfolk, in
cluding an English gun captured in the last war.
'The musket ammunition in English, and the fort
ammunition from Richmond. '
After the capture of the forts and the landing
of the army, the work of extending the fortifica
tions, and of adapting them to the:wants of their,
new possessors, was commenced. , Security was
thought by our commanders 'to be preferable to
extended"coitquests—oonqnests which might be
speedily lost. Railroads from every important -
point in the Southern States, including Norfolk,
Richmond, and Manassas, can be used to con
centrate men near'Beaufort;.and there might be
tens of thousands of their best troops there bg
fore any reinforcements from the Chesapeake
could reach our men by sea. Hence the wisdom
of keeping our forces together, and fortifying
their position strongly. The harbor, and the
water passages between Charleston and Savan
nah, are in our possession. These we can hold
permanently, and advances maybe made accord
ing 'to circumstances. Ordnance and ordnance
stores have been. sent from New-York. Three,
thousand men have . been shipped from Boston,
andlifteen thousand are at Annapolis awaiting
transports. These may all be destined for Port
Royal. Or, possibly some other port may be the
object of attack.
The official dispathhee are full of -interest; but
too extended for our columns. We give a pot
