the late campaign. Many no doubt are fighting
their battles over again" in much happier mood
than when rumors Of burning shanties and butch

The mpetuOus spirit Of yesterday. From Lawrence a
thousand conflc ing rumors have reached our camp,
all tending 10 confirm the opinion have heretofore
expressed-a battle wW6 fought. The Yankees hsve
hoisted " the blood red signsp over their strong
place, and all day yesterday reenforcements were
going to augment their numbers. The Soerif hiss not
