THK FIRST ACCOUNT.
St. Louis. Aue. 13, 3 p. m The following is
the official report of the fight near Springfield on
Saturday last, forwarded by one of Gen. Lyon's
aids : .
To Mjor Gen. Fremont:
Gen.. Lyon, in three. columns, under himself,
Gen. Siegel and Major Sturgis, of the cavalry, at
tacked tbe enemy at half-past six on the morning
of the 10th, nine miles southeast of Springfield.
The engagement was severe Our loss is about
eight hundred killed and wounded. Geaer.al
Lyon was killed in a charge at the beati of
his column. Our force was eight thousand, in
clading two thousand Home Guards. The muster
roll taken from the enemy give his strength t
twenty -three thousand, including regiments from
Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee, with Texas
Rangers and Cherokee half-breeds.
Their loss is reported heavy, including Generals
McCulloch and Price. This statement is corobo
orated by prisoners. Their tents and wagons were
destroyed in the action. . -
General Seigle left only one gun on the field,
and retreated to Springfield with a large number
of nrisoners at three o'clock on the morning of
the 11th. He continued his retreat upon Rolla,
fringing off his baggage trains and $25,000 in
snecie from the Springfield Banks. ,
The following is a verbal report taken from a
special messenger who brought dispatches for
General Fremont. ,
Early on Saturday morning Gen. Lyon march
ed out of Springfield to give battle to the enemy.
He came up to him on Davis creek, on Green's
prairie a few miles Southwest of Springfield, where
he had taken a strong position on rolling ground,
at twenty minutes past six o'clock in the mor
ning. General Lyon fired the first gun, when the bat
tle immediately began. Severe cannonading was
kept up for two or three hoars; when the fire of
Captain Totten's artillery proving too severe for
the enemy, they gradually fell back towards their
encampment on Wilson's Creek. Gen. ' Lyon's
cavalry was posted on the enemy's left flank and
Gen; " Seigles artillery on the right.1 Then be
gan the terrific attack, spreading slaughter and
dismay in the ranks of the enemy, and pursuing
them to their camp, shells from Totten's artillery
setting fire to their tents and baggage wagons,
which were all destroyed.
A Louisiana regiment and a Mississippi regi
ment seemed to have suffered most in the light,
and were almost annihilates.
Sometime in the afternoon, as Gen. Lyon was
leading on his column, his Horse was snot from
' under him. He immediately mounted another,
and as he turned around to his men waving his
hat in"his band and cheering them on to victory,
he was struck in the small of tho back by a ball
tnd feU dead to the ground. -
The command then devolved on Gen. Siegel.
, Pursuit continued until nightfall, when our little
army rented for the night in the encampment of
tho enemy. . :
Sunday morning, Gen. Siegel, fearing the ene
my might recover and attempt tocuthisrommand
off from Springfield, fell back upon that crty,

THE SECOND ACCOUNT M'CULLOCH AND PRICE
NOT KILLED.
V
The following is tbe second Federal account
furnished by an eye-witness, who left Springfield
on Sunday morning, and traveled to Rolla, Mis
souri, on horsebak. The effort to make the battle
appear a "drawn one;" is evidently a weak inven
tion of the enemy :
Our army inarched out of Springfield on Fri
day evening, only five thousand five hundred
btrong, the Homeguard. remaining at Spring
field. The army slept on tbe prairie a portion of
the night.
About sunrise on Saturday morning we drove
in the i utpostt of the enemy and soon after the
"attack became general. The attack was made in
two columnsby Generals Lyon and Sturges
Gon. Siegel leading a flanking force of about one
thousand men, with four guns on the north of the
enemy's camp.
The battle raged from sunrise until one or two
o'clock in the afternoon. The Confederates, in
overwhelming force, charged Totten's battery
three distinct times, but were each time repulsed
with great slaughter. "
Gen. Lyon fell early in the day. He had been
previously wounded in the leg, and his horse shot
under him.
x ne uoionei ot one ot tbe Kansas regiments
having become disabled, the boys cried out to
Gen. Lyon, "General, you come and lead us on,'
He did so, and at once put himself in the front
"Whilo thus cheering his men on to the charge he
received a ball in his left breast and fell from hU
horse. He was asked if he was hurt, and replied
No, not much;" but in a few minutes expired
w itht ut a struggle.
General Seigel had a very hard straggle and
finally lost three of his four guns. His artillery
horses were shot in the harness and tbe pieces dis
aUUd. He endeavored to haul them ofl with a
number of prisoners he had takon, but was finally
compelled to abandon them, first, however spiking
the guns and disabling the carriages.
About one o'clock the enemy seemed to be in
great disorder, retreating and setting fire to their
train and baggage wagons. Our forces were too
fttithfatiffued and cut up to pursue, and so the
battle may be considered ft drawn one.
The following is a partial list of the killed and
wounded on our side :

field, to about the killed and wounded. They
found the enemy on the field and were consider
ately treated. ;
Gen Lyon's body had been treated with great
respeci and was brought back wiih somo of tho
wounded to Springfield.
Msjpr Sturgos took command on the battle field
after te de th of Gen. Lyon. Gen. Siegel took
command after the battle.
Ourjloes is variously estimated at from 150 to
300 killed, and several hundred wounded. The
enemy's loss is placed at 2,000 killed and wounded.
We captured about one hundred horses of the
enemy'. The enemy carried two flags a Confed
erate Sfod the Stars and Stripes.
General Siegel marched - back to Springfield in
irood order after perfecting his arrangements, gath
ering the baggage and blowing what powder he
could not carry, and destroying other property
which he did not wish shouia tall into tne nanas
of the enemy.

that his line of communication to Kolla would, be
cut off buless he fell back.
Gen.) Lyon began the attack""upon the receipt of
intelligence mat ine enemy whs expevung rein
forcements from Gen. Hardee's column, which was
approaching from the southeast.
A portion of the artillery of the enemy was
admirably served, and their infantry fire was also
very severe.
It u thought that Uen. Siegel tell back no
furtherithan Lebanon, where reiforcements would
reach ihim.
The; loss of the Southern forces is clearly a sur
mise ofthe Ablition eve-witnesses. The state
ment was telegraphed through with the approba
tion of St Louis "censors," and is designed to
mollify the public mind at the North.
Tho6altimore Exchange, of Thursday says
Welarn from Washington that nine pieces of
artillery, about forty wagons, mostly looded with
knapsacks and provender, and a lame amount of
camp edui page, we abandoned by the Federals
and fell into the hands of tbe Confederates.

street-all for the old a-my-and these added I
but fifteen men to the service la?t week. Every i
recruit brings the man wfio enlists him $2, and I
house rent, and the support and pay of recruiting !
parties, go to make the .ewly obtained soldier i
doubly dear to the Government. Each rendez- i
.voiis costs at least $300 a month, and, of course, j
three rendezvous cost $900. This makes each I
individual cost $15 before he eats his first govern '
ment meal. If one office were kept open, and i
the money saved from the needless support of the j
others given in bounty," every recruit would be
able to get a $10 bill the day he joined a reward
that would do more for the increase of the army
than a dozen offices.
The men now goinginto the service want to ride
on horseback, hence the cavalry office on Hudson
street got twice as many men last week as our
foot soldiers rendezvous. A new branch office to
take advantage of this preference, has been open
ened -at No. 5 Broadway as an accessory to that
in Hudson street, and it is doing well already.
Until within a few weeks there were two infan- t
try recruits to one mounted and one enlisted.
The new regiments are getting along Blowly.
At Fort Hamilton, the headquarters of the
Twelfth, the materials for a couple of companies
are accumulating, and-every exertion is being
made to fill them up. The headquarters of the
Fourteenth at Fort Trumbull, Conn., have now
149 men, and two detachments from neighboring
towns were sent up on Thursday. An office for
this regiment has been opened at Providence, R.
I. The recent ordor ofthe War Denarment stin-
ulates that "all soldiers enlisted in 1861-2 shall bo
three years men," for some 3,000 have joined the
service for five years, who will come under this law,
and experienced military persons fear that exempt
ing them,unnecessarily from two years' service.will
j-ave a deleterious effect in 1864, inasmuch as the

The naval recruiting people are in ecstacy.
The official notification that the Government
would soon devise means to double their busi
ness, has induced them to make great preparations
tor large accessions to their list of recruits.
SOUTHERN HARBORS TO BE OBSTRUCT
ED.
It seems that tho Lincoln Government have
determined to resort to every conceivable method
to make their blockade "effective." Not having
a sufficiency of war vessels to blockade all the ports
and rivers on the coast, they are now obtaining,
in Baltimore, ail the old hulks they can find old
oyester boats, puneeys, and some schooners form
erly used in the Virginia trade which are to be
towed to the coast 'of North Carol ina and sunk at
the mouths of rivers and inlets, to prevent the in

The Exchange says (and other papers make simi

sels have. been purchased : that others have been
seized and carried off by the naval flotilla that
has been cruising for some time past among the
creeks and inlets of the Bay shore; that twenty
or more of these vessels were loading with stone
within a day or two past at Port Deposit, and that
others have followed, or are about to follow, to be
freighted in a' similar manner." , We hope our
neighbors of North Carolina -will be on the look
out for the expedition.' There are some long range

DEPRESSION IN BUSINESS AND ARM i
NEWS.
The New York York Journal of Commerce, of
.the 3rd instant says : -t- s -
' The falling off in the business of the Patent'of
flco, is a strong commentary upon the general do-
Sression of business pursuits, produced by tbe wan
wenty-six of the clerks and examiners were dis
missed yesterday, for want of employment, a.
larger number had been discharged before. It is
said that not mord than five examiners will bo re
tained. Four clerks were till lately employed in
recording assignments, and now thore is hardly
business for one. - At the present rate of declension
the office will of necesity, he closed in six month .
The reason ,of the entire and sudden failure of the
concern is, that the paten teas and their products
have not tbe Southern market; while, at
the same time, the market has fallen off or
ceased in the free States, in like manner with other
business. ?
The Government is availing itself of present
means to procure and bring to this point an im
mense supply ot ordnance and ordnance stores.
Artillery is not to be veiected' hereafter. The
Confederates acting on the defensive, intend
to make battle with artillery and cavalry which
on our side, was heretofore repudiated.
The Ojvernment has evidently determined, as
a matter of choice as well as of necessity, to carry
the war into the; heart of Eastern Virginia. If
they cannot conquer therejthey cannotany where
bicause tho tide Water region of Virginia is easily
reached by land! and sea. If this Government
cannot carry on; military operations there with
success, they cannot anywhere. An entire laii
ure in Virginia for the next six months, will go
far to terminate the war, or ratber to impair the
means of this Government for continuing the war.
It is feared that the disastrous defeat at Bull
Run will be the means of sacrificing the cause of
the Uniou men , in East Tennesson. Arms and
munitions of war have been forwarded westward
to be conveyed to East Tennessee for tho Union
volunteers. Bu is now feared that they will nev-
er reach their destination, unless accompanied by
a large army.
' '
THE FEDERAL PRISONERS.
Tho New York Post of the 1st., -lias the follow
ing : ' ;
"It is rumored here that the government will
soon "release on parole" reoei prisoners now
held in the Capitol building. This course has
been pursued towards all the prisoners taken in
Western Virginia. Tbe friends or federal pris
oners now at Manassas or Richmond demand that
thore be an exchange of prisoners, or at least that
there be no further release ofjtho rebel prison
ers while federal soldiers remain in Richmond
jails. But these persons overlook a great difficulty.
The Government cann&t well make an exchange
of prisoners without a recognition of the ' bellig
erent rights" of the so-called Southern Uonteder
acy. This whole question is at this moment re
ceiving the most thorough consideration, and the
determination ofthe goverment will be announc
ed at nn early day. If an exchange of prisoners
is agreed upon, the arrangements will be perfected
at once."
Commenting ori the above the Nashville Patriot
remarks:
It appears that tho permanent policy of tho Fed
erals h not yet determined. They are afraid to
adopt the ordinary rule, because thoy would grant,
by implication, to the South a status of war, of
Revolution, and consequently carry all tho usual
beligerent rights. This would necessarily over
turn their theory of an undivided and indivisible
Union, and give the South, at least, a quasi na
tionalitv such as jn itself to invite all foreign na
tions to recognize the existence, in the Revolution
ary South, of a de facto government, capable, for
all the purposes Ot.the war, ot treating and hold
ing a separate nationality from the Government
at Washington,- 'lhis, England has already sub
stantially done,yet the Administration is evidently
slow tojuslify such action on the part of foreign
powers
At whatever determination, the Lincoln govern
ment may arrive on this question, ourgovernment
will undoubtedly pursuethe straight path m which
it has&etout. Ifthe number of prisoners increases
on its hands, it may become expedient for it to
release a portion-of them,, on conditions similar to
those imposed by the Federalists ; but it will re
tain enough to secure the proper treatment of all
defenders of Southern liberty and independence,
whether captured on sea or land. This is not only
our policy but our duty.

in short, nothing,morelhan a jumble of
tive words, without force or effect.
We do not exaggerate the defects of this law.
It speaks for itself. In the first place, the law
makes it optional with the Secretary of the Treas
ury either to issue coupon or registered bonds, to
run twenty years, or Treasury notes as he may
; deem advisable, in the next place, it authorizes
one hundred millions of the bonds to be negotia
I ted in Europe by "drummers," if the Secretary
' may deem it advisable. In thq third place, it
authorizes the issue of Treasury notes, if the Sec
retary may deem it advisable, to bear various
rates of interest, or none at all, and finally prr
l vides that this paper may be paid out for salaries
and supplies.
I Here are three experiments to raise $250,000,-
000 that of investment by capitalists at home,
j that of European negotiation, and that of a shin-
plaster circulation and all of them mere thrones,
left to be essayed by a becretary; with nothing in
the law to provide for or assure their success.
Never was a law balder. It neither provides nor
indicates revenue. It is like a brazen-tacpd
Yankee advertisment for a loan, in return for
which tbe creditor is to have a share in some
mysterious business that only needs a small ad
vance "to realize a handsome fortune."
How Mr. Secretary Chase is to accomplish the
raising of two hundred and fifty millions of dol
lars, with tbe Yankee people already kicking
against the pricks of a twenty million tax; with
thelNew York banks already well nigh depicted
of their coin by the Government within the past
two or three months; with Treasury notes already
hawked about by employees and contractors ot the
Government for sale in the peculiar usurers' dens

short, hut a naked ana tooiisn edict, passes our
comprehension, and we doubt not, his own also.

A NORTHERN JOURNAL CHANGES ITS
TONE.
The New Bedfprd (Mass.) Mercury, hitherto
one of tho most rabid war journals, has changed
its tone of lalo. In the last issue como to ha nd the
editor remarks :
It cannot be denied that we are disappointed at
the formidable aspect the rebellion has assumed.'
We thought to have suppressed it in a few weeks,
and supposed tho South would yield at once before
the enthusiastic rush of Union men to arms, in
support of the Government. We have made a
mistake in our estimate of the strength of the re
bels ; have we made another in the confidence
we have placed in our own? Is it true that
the South carries with her the sources of certain
failure, or shall we not rather bo conn elled to yield
to her demands, not as a matter merely oi policy
and ef self-interest, but of sheer necessity f
Is not the struggle assuming new features, and
instead, of being a contest for the preservation of
tbe Constitution, is it not growing into the war
of subjugation, -in which the course first marked
out by the Government will bo abandoned by tho
necessity of events ? Is there any longer a reas
onable hope that after, the bitter strife of States,
and the shedding of fraternal blood, the Union can
ever be restored to it frmer position ?

DELIGHTFUL SUMMER RESORT.

days, they have sojourned, and enjoyed. theiUioe- !

glowing terms of the Macon House Its cuisine,

torrid heat for which Old Point ha3 long been
notorious, Fort Macon, too, is in close proximi
ty, and easily reached, by pleasure yachts, while
fishing boat-sand fish in abundance are to be had
without the slightest trouble. The wonder is
that Morehead city is not more generally resort
ed to by Virginians and North Carolinians.
There is rail every inch of the way trom

FEDERAL OUTRAGES.
The Romtfey (Hampshire county; Va.,) Intelli
gencer, of August 9th, says :
The Federal force in this and Hardy county,
at this time, is not less than from 4 to 5,000.
Many of our citizons have suffered greatly by
these Hessians. J ohn T. Peerce' Esq. has had
taken off by them 60 bead fat cattle, 3 horses, 1 mule,
with wagon and colored servant Harry. Col. E
M. Armstrong, damagedoneto house and furniture
very great colored servant Maria, enticed away
by them. A. W. McDonald, Jr., Esq., furniture
and house very much broken up valuable library
nearly all destroyed. Mr. Wm. Barrick esti
mates bis loss at $75. Mr. N. C. Srnoot, lost all
his clothing, bedding, provisions, nearly all his
plates knives forks, &c, together with most
of his kitchen furniture. Mr. W. "Baylor, nearly
all his bedding, furniture, grouch of it broken,
even down to locking-glass and infant cradle
Also fences burned, hen-roosts robbed, garden
pillaged; antf, in short, neither perons nor pro
party safe, our informant says, when any of
the troops are about. Colored servants espe
cially are in danger of bein seized as contra'
band.
NOT A BAD JOKE.
Many incidents have been related in illustra-
of the confidence of the enemy of a victory at
Manassas but the following is the best joke of them
all. Col. Scott, of Pennsylvania, is manager af
the Government railroads and telegraphs, and just
bofore the battle of Manassas, feeling assured of
the success of the Federal army, he arranged a
schedule for tho running of three trains a day on
the Alexandria and Manassas Gap Railroad. The
following is his advertisement :
)?i and after Monday, July lid, regular trains
will leave Alexandria and Fairfax promptly, and
proceed by card tinip.
All extra trains will give regular trains a clear
track not less than ten minutes before card time
of regular trains.
Maximum speed not to exceed eighteen miles
per hour.
In nil eases of doubt take the safe coure? in
cur no risks. By order of War Department, -t
; THOMAS A. SCOTT,
General Manager Government Railways. '
II. E. Gray, Train Master, Alexandria.
As we have not heard of any trains running
since Sunday, the 21st, we conclude that they have
followed the advice, "run no risks."
Arrest of a Clergyman. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Express relates the
following as an amusing incidont:
The Rev. Mr. Linpitt, ofthe Episcopal Church",
a native of R. I., and formerly a Professor in the
Episcopal Theological Seminary of Virginia, re
sides near Alexandria, and about three weeks ago
olliciated at OUnst Church in thai city. His sef-
mon was regarded by the officer in command as" a
Secession discourse, and he was accordingly incar-
coratPd in the Washington jail. iieing required
ny the heorctarv of "Mate to produce his sermoh,
he sent for St. when it appeared by a note on the
margin that "it was first preached twelve yeas
ago 1" '.the becretary read itcarefuliy over, and
pronounced it good, sound, Christian doctrine, and
forthwith ordered Mr. Linpitt to be discharged.
This incident, which has just transpired, caused
not a little amusement among tho reverned gen
tleman's friends.
Tiie War Failures in New York. Our
late Northern papers report a large nnmber of
heavy failures in N. Y., but the names of all the
parties are not mentioned. Referring to the down
fall of the great houso of Qlaffin, Melen & Co.,
the Day B6ok says :
The strongest and firmest mercantile houses
now begin to fall. (Jlaflin, Melkn & Co., have
at last succumbed to the pressure. Next to A. T.
Stewart, this was considered the firmest house in
New Yorka Their liabilities are estimated at
from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 with $3,000,000
confidential. This house has been notd as one of
the Apolitical corporations" of New York. Its
chief members were the pillars of Beecher's church
and in all anti-slavery enterprises they were tore
most in spirit and liberality. They have reaped
tho reward of their doctrines.
Death of. a Stranger. The Baltimore Ex
change, of Monday, says ;
About the time of the arrival of the irain from
Washington last night, a very respectabl y dress ed
man, who had alighted from tho train, was seen
to stagger and fall upon the platform. A crowd
immediately gathered around him, and a vice
policeman procured a hack and conveyed him to the
Western district police station. He had been
there but a few minutes when he expired. Upon
an examination of his effects.it was ascertained that
his name was Marick Beauford Fielde. He had a
letter of introduction from the Duke of Malmps
bury to President Lincoln, two medals from Queen
Victoria for meritorious, service in the Crimean
War, a pass from Gen. Scott, signed by an aid-de-camp,
giving the bearer permission to pass the
lines oi the United States army, a gold watch
and a very neatly bound diary.
No Ice is Washington. Tn this sweltering
weather, with the thorraoneter ranging from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty dee-res?, the
ice dealers announce that their stock of ice is ex
hausted, and that there is no more to behad there
this summer. Five large vessels, loaded with the
precious commodity, have been over due now
more than ten: days, and the consignees there
have come to jthe reluctant conclusion that the
vessels have been captured by "the pirates of the
gulf." The ice dealers say also that it is impossi-
Die to get vessels to bring ice here, because vessel
owners are afraid of losing, in this manner, both
vessels and cargo. So that they have tho very
pleasant prospect before them of living through
tne not months oi August ana September, with
out ice.
Effkct of tiie War. The Boston Traveler
says:
The railroads in New England are rio1 begin
ning to feel the effects of the stagnation of business
caused by the war. The passnnger travel, both
through and local, is quite small, and tha local
freight traffic has almocouie to a stand-still, in
dicating the light demand upon Boston, for goods
oy the interior towns. Such roads as arfi out of
debt, however feel confident of earning adividenJ.

A Desperate And Determinbd Summit
A foreigner named Frank Howard; who seems to
have had no relations In this country, perpetrated
a most desperate suicide near Eaton, Ohio, on the
31st ultimo. : He. went lo the barn, set it on fire,
and after the fire had gut a fair start, with the in-
leniion oi removing every trace of himself, ho cut
ui luroat wun nis razor, ana immediately threw
himself into the fire. But loss of blood did not
assuage the pain of burning. Human nature
could not endure it; and with his clothes burned
off and his flesh literally on f: a, ho jumped into a
well, that drowning might take the place of burn
ing. Ia this condition his dead body waa found.
