THE SUN.

LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1861

The second defeat of the Federalists turns out to
be something much more like a victory. There was
no running away for one thing ; for another the
Federal troops destroyed the enemy's tents and bag-
gage, and occupied their encampment at night;
again they carried off ninety prisoners; and at last,
as their force was originally but 8,000 against
23,000, they retreated in perfect good order, falling
back on the terminus of the Pacific Railway. If
they had to leave one gun, for what reason is not
mentioned, they brought away with them many
trophies, and if, in heading a charge, after one
horse hadbeen shot under him, the brave Gen. LYON
fell as became a soldier, the rebels also lost two of their
generals, and from the accounts of their prisoners
suffered severely.
It shows, however, that in the great border State
of the far West, the Confederates can muster very
strong. The muster-roll of the Confederates was
4mongst the things taken from them, and by that
it appeared that the army was composed of regi-
ments from almost all the rebel States of the West
and South. By the last mail we were told that Gene-
ral PILLOW W Is boasting of his intention to attack
Cairo and St. Louis, and to expel the Northerns ;
and naturally when the telegram of this battle
htrived, we supposed it must have been
his army which
11117 whteh gained the victory. Singularly
enough, however, we hea r not a word about him
now, but a General M'CaLLocri, who was killed,
appears as the leader of the Confederates, while
Colonel FaEmoNT
Was at ,St. Louis, which was
thought to be perfectly safe. Unless, however, Mr.
LINCOLN can spare reinforeemonts, it seems likely
that the Rebels will outnumber the Federalists in
Missouri, and the result of the ,former being the
stronger there would be to open the Mississippi
further northward to the Confederates.
It will be seen that the New York Herald states
that GARIBALDI'S offer to serve in America has
been accepted, and that he is to have the rank of
Major.Genceral. It is in all probability but a canard;
we hope Exi.rope cannot spare him for long. Run.
