Particulars Of the Engagsmsnt-Brillian:
Conduct Of Com. Tatna!rs Flest-The ga
vannah has Two Balls shot Through Her.
IA. a.

SAVANNAH, Nov. The steamer Resolute
Of the. Confederate feet, came mp At slev-r
o'clock last night, 10 coal. She brought cor.
rect particulars OF the operations at Port
Royal up to the hour Of her departure. 1t
appears that the report Of Federal steamer
being disabled, and another one being
aground, Ii incorrect.
On Monday afternoon Commodore TatnaI,
with his little feet, went within mile of thu
Federal squadron, and engaged them for
nearly an hour, uni III they came within reach
of the guns at Port Royal, when he retired,
and allowed the latter to open on them. The
engagement lasted until evening, with what
result it is impossible at present TO ascertain.
The Commodore again sailed out to point
about three quarters Of mile from the ens-
my's feet, when fierce engagement of forty
minutes ensued. The enemy fired rife shot
and shell, which fell about us in great profu-
sion. Two shots passed through the Savan-
nah without serious damage to the vessel,
and nobody on board was injured.
Parties at Port Royal say that seven shots
from our feet took effsct on the Federal yes
seis. The latter coming In closer, our neet
retired.
On yesterday al was quiet. 1t was re-.
ported, however, that the Federals were
landing at Hunting Island. About O'Clock
last night firing was again heard at Port
Royal, and warm work wss anticipated.

From Missouri.

Below we give some particulars of the re-
cent engagement at springfield, Mo, between
General Fremont's Body Guard and a small
number of COnfederatee. Our readers will
recollect that on Monday morning last We
published a full report of the affair taken
from the New York Times OF the 18th ult.-
The subjoined emanates from Federal
source aud we should wait for something au-
thentic from the Southern side before making
mp our minds about the result. Of the battle.
THE NUMBER OF KILLED AND NORTHUMBERLAND
sohB OF The BODY aUAaD.
SpRlxeFIRLD, Mo :, Oct 29.-The total mum
Der of killed. wounded and missing, of the
Bedy Guard is 81. The killed and wounded
Of the rebels, aHcordi to their own state
ment, is about so. The Home Guard appears
TO have come out strong. They captured and
brought back Major White, who was a prison
er, and the IA rebels who Were taking him TO
General Prices camp. Last night about 20
OF them charged on Lieu .ec aut Colonel J. hn
H. Price, and u other re5e,s, killing Que of
them, twelve miles sou tn OF here, and brought
all the rest on, and they are now prisoners III
our camp.
The rear divisions OF our army are coming
up to US by forced marches. Gems. Pope and
Hunters commands are expected here this
evening, and General McKinstry's tomorrow.
All OF our troops are In the best spirits and
full of enthusiasm.
Gen. Fremont has taken possession OF the
f1oaring mill in this county, and is rapidly
gathering supplies for the army.
Gen. Price is near the Arkansas line. 1t Is
doubtful whether he will give us battle.
The rebel officers thought that tina body
guard that made the attack was 2, 500 strong,
and on their retreat swore at the men ms a
set of towards. We got abont 50 of their
m uskets, dropped IN their flight
Our advance Is at Ozark, fifteen miles
South Of here.
Fifteen Of the body guard were buried yes.
ternoon with military honors. The Barton
Cadets, Holman Sharp-Shooters, and Gen
eral Fremonss staff, all tho surviving and
unwounded guards, ard a large number of
cit 2ens, male and female, followed in the
procession The bodies were buried in one
grave, into which Gen. Fremont cast the first
earth.

EXPERIMENTAL MORTAR FIRIsa.
Experimental firing, with To- inch mortar,
was made at the maynard this morning,
with charge Of three pounds OF powder, and
an elevation OF - degrees, a shell not charged,
weighing lQ2 pounds, was projected to a dis.
lance OF 2,4oo yards, the time Of flight being
about IL seconds. The firing demons trated
that considerable accuracy may be attained
with the old fashioned mortar, and that at
distances of from 600 to $500 yards they are
very effective weapons.
