WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE newspaper
statements that the Secretary of the Navy
has issued an order to receive at the re-
cruiting stations nothing but native born
citizens are untrue. The facts are that the
humber OF landsmen offering are much larg-
er than the service required. Boston is the
only port where they are now received, =
Seamen are enlisted without regard to

It is stated that Judge Benton, of Ken

ri, are each getting up a company of sharp
shooters in their respective States for Col.

SigePs Adjutant, and bearer of dispatches to
Colonel Harding, gives the following addi-
Vi0HaT particulars Of the BfrEle- e,sgr-
thage:

one twelve FOUNDER in the center and two
six Founders on the right and left The
cavalry were on each flank and the infant
ry in the rear of the artillery Sigel ap-
preached within 500 yards, with four
cannon in the centre of the body of infant
ry and one six FOUNDER under Lieut.. COL.
Massendubel on the left. Col Solomon's
command with a six FOUNDER was on the
right and his body of infantry beyond the
centre. The artillery on SigePs left opened
the fire with schrapnels and soon the en-
gagement became general. The rebels had
no grape and their artillerists being poor,
their balls few over the federals' heads.
After two hours firing the enemy's artillery
was entirely sileneed and their ranks
broken.
About !, 800 rebel cavalry then attempts
ed TO outfiank Sigel and cut of his baggage
train, which was three miles back, when a
retrograde movement was ordered, and the
train was reached in good order ana sur
rounded by infantry and artillery The

bluffs, on each side of which the ene9nyis cav
airy were posted in large numbers BY afeint,

the road, at a distance of $50 yards from
his position. when, by a rapid movement of
his artillery, he poured heavy cross-ire of
canister into their ranks, at the.same time
the infantry charged at double quick
Ia ten minutes the State forces scattered
| in every direction. IS riderIess horses were
| captured, 65 shot guns, and a number of re-
volversand bowie knives were picked up from

as reported yesterday, but attempted to
reach a piece of woods north of the town,
and after two hours desperate fighting, in
which all the forces on both sides were en-
gagged, and in which Lieut. Tosk thinks the
enemy lost 200 killed, he succeeded in
doing so. The rebels retired to Carthage,
| and Sigel fell back on Sareoxie, whence he
| proceeded the next day to Mount Vernon.
Lieut.. Tosk left Mount Vernon on the eve
ming of the 18th, and rode to Rolla, 1913
