count of the battle at Blue Mills landing, receiy-
ed from the authorities since:
Col. Scott, with $40 men of the Sd Iowa regi-

at Liberty, Clay county, on Monday the 18th,
and moved from that place at one O'Clock P. M,
and at three O'CLOCK he fell in with the enemy,
A 500 in number, occupying strong position.
Our skrmishers received CALLING fire and slow
~ returned to our main body, when the action
became general. Our six-pounder was brought
to bear on the enemy, and few shots were 1red
which proved destructive.
At this time a heavy fire was opened on our
gun killing one of the gunners and wounding
two others. On this several other gunness, Ger
mans, from st. Louis, abandoned the gun carry
ing off the primer and matches, rendering the
piece useless The action continued an hour
when our column was slowly withdrawn to more
open ground. bringing of the wounded and drag

been killed or badly wounded. About this time
Col. Smith who left St. Joseph with 400 men

general purpose Joined the latter, having pushed
forward his mounted men on receiving message
from Scott ten miles back that he was advanc-
ing but il being night and the men completely
exhausted and rebels reported strongly entrench-

LOUISVILLE, Sept 2l-It is rumored that
Buckner has advanced on Elizabethtown, but it
cannot be confirmed in season for the afternoon
papers.
The Federal troops are preparing for any emer-
gency.
The following proclamation has just been re-
ceived:
To the People of kentucky:
The Legislature of Kentucky have been faith
less to the will of the people. They have en-
deavored to make your gallant State fortress in
which under the guise of neutrality the armed
forces of the United States might securely pre-
pare to subjugate alike the people of Kentucky
and the Southern States.
1t was not until after months of concert and
open violation of your neutrality with large en-
equipments of Federal troops in your territory
and recent declarations Of the President of the
United States not to recognize your neutral
position coupled with well prepared scheme
to seize an additional point in your
territory which was of vital Importance
to the safety and defense of Tennessee. that
the troops of the Coniederacy, on the invitation
of the people of Kentucky, occupied defensive
part in your State In doing so the commander
announced bis purpose to evacuate your ter
ritory simultaneously with similar move
ment on the part of the Federal forces
whenever the Legislature of Kentucky shall un-
strict neutrality which they have so often declar-
ed. / return amongst you, citizens of Ken
lucky, nc the head OF a force, the adj
vance of which is composed entirely OF
kentuckians we do not come TO modest any per-
son whatever may be his political opinions, until
the agents of the Northern despotism, who seek
to reduce US to the condition of dependent vas
sails. We believe that the recognition of the civil
rights of citizens is the foundation of constitutional
liberty, and that the claim of the President Of the
United States to declare martial law, to suspend
the privileges of the writ CT habcas corpus, and
10 convert every barrack and every prison in the
land into bastile is nothing but the claim othel
tyrants have assumed to subjugate a free people
The Confederate States occupy Bowling Green a.
a defensive position. j renew the pledges o
commanders of other columns Of Confederat,
troops to retire from the territory of Kentucky
on the same condition which viii govern thei
movements fi
i further give you my own assurance that thu
force under my command will be used as aid I,

strict neutrality desired by its people wheneve

furnished with late Richmond papers by "a Vir
ginia refugee. from which the following interest
ing correspondence is taken:
The Richmond Examiner of the 18th inst,
says it is evident to every intelligent observer
that the embit:ered remnant of the submissionist
party, which was fully represented in the Vir
ginia Convention. is bent on organizing regular
opposition 70 the Government under the names it
has borne. The element of our politics has been
invariably against Southern interests, and, al
though the events of last spring annihated its
natural form, or at least caused it to disappear
from public view, it exists with undiminished
virulence and awaits the opportunity to spring
into light again.

Wing over the initials of F. M. no doubt from the

friend Rally, then, my countrymen, around the
flag our fathers loved and which has shielded US
