Lyons Success COnfrmed-Retreat
Of the enemy-GeneraL Lyon Fails
Back on Springfield.
SPRINGFIELD, No., Aug 5.-Advices from
Gen. Lyons army to Sunday have been
received. The cavalry charge heretofore
reported was made by scouting party
sent out by Gen. Lyon to ascert tain if the
enemy was approaching, after our troops
had encamped for the night at Dug
Springs. Seeing regiment of Infantry
coming along the road, the Lieutenant in
command Of the cavalry ordered charge
which resulted in killing thirty of the
rebels and wounding forty
The charge was not intended by Gen.
Lyon, but probably prevented the rebels
from attacking his main body, when they
would unquestionably have been routed
with severe loss. A large body OF the ems
emy's cavalry, which had taken position
on high ground 20 observe our position
and strength, was dispersed by few
shells from Totten's battery, wounding
somo thirty of them.
On Saturday morning our forces moved
forward cautiously, and on approaching
Curran, the rebels Numbering some three
thousand were seen posted on the hills
side southwest of that place. Gen. Lyon
Immediately formed his army for battle
and gave orders to advance. As our COL
umn approaching piece of timber to
flank the enemy, Capt. Dubois battery
opened fire on the rebels, who quick ly re
treated. 1t was not known whether any
OF the enemy were killed in this last en-
gagement. We did not lose man, but
took several prisoners.
Our army encamped for the night Mt
Curran, and on Sunday morning Gen. Ly.
on determined to retire 10 Springfield,
fearing that, as most of the rebels are
mounted, they might by a rapid moves
ment flank him and take Springfield
Gen. Price, Rains and Parsons are said to

GeyAThe Pittsburgh Dispatch OF tue 7th
inst, says tfat correspondent at Clear
field calls It's attention to an article in our
paper of the 3kt ult.. "disparaging the
sighting qualities of the Northern troops,
us compared with the Rebels" The Dis
patch fails to point out the Article objected
10. but proceeds to read us another lecture
rs to our duty, &c. Had that paper re-
luired its correspondent to produce the
alleged offensive article, it would have
seen that the aforesaid offence was solely
attributable to the ignorance os its cores
pondent-his utter inability to compre-
hend the plainest sentence in the English
language.
If our paper of the 31st-or any other
numbeR-contained ary remark bearing
such construction we were not, and are
not yet, aware Of it. The only sentence
in that number, on the subject, was the
following, which we now reproduce, in
order that the Dispatch may have no excuse
for failing to point cut wherein we have
done injury to our soider,:
"The two affairs at Bull Run have dem,
onstrated not only that these Southerners
will stand their ground and fight, but that
hey can fight just as we'll as their broth
ers of the North and if there is any diff
ference, they understand the business
little better thar we do"
Now hear what the New York Herald,
whose support of the war policy of the
administration is above suspicion, says on
This very subject;
"They (the Southern oflicers) fought
with a bravery which casts tho conduct
of TIE Union officers into the shade"
With the Dispatch, and all such John
Brown organs and disciples, to be Dem
oorat is to be secessionist; and not to
endorse all the rhonstrous usurpations Of
President Lincoln; yea, to exercise the
C2earsst rights Of American freemen, is to
lie traitor to the Union and the Consti-
tation! We can tell these gentleman that
this attempt to inaugurate reign ofterr~,
and a censorship for the press, howev er
Telh it may suit the atmosphere of Pitts
burgb, is about played out in most other !
places. The people will speak their sem
timents, whether "the powers that be"
irown or smile.

Bay' The pay of private soldiers in the
U. S. Army has been increased from Sll
to S!3 per month-making an aggregate
annual Increase Of about $4,000, 0,O00.-
When the bill making this increase of sol
dias pay came from the Senate, Mr..
Thaddeus Stevens of Pa, Chairman of the
Committee Of Ways and Means, made the
remarkable declaration that "this bill
had come upon us at time when our ex-
penGitures were already one million t,oo lam
dred thousand and .fty-8ir dollars per day.
and that he did not know where the money
was to come from to meet this expense"
This may have been sharp blow at the
popularity-sceking Scnate-but it was a
much harder one at the public credit, for,
if the chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means does not know where to get
the means to pay the interest on the pub
lie debt Of his own creating, who does?

WORTH LOOKING lNTo.--A gentleman at
Morrisdale, in this county, whose veracity
is not TO be doubted, informs US that the
Postmaster Of that place informed him the
other day, when he handed him out his
last copy Of the New York Day Book, that
he chad authority to refuse TO deliver Sc
cession papers, that the Day Book was q pa
per of this character, and he would delivo
er no more of them"
There is but one proper way of dealing
with such men, and we mistake the char
acter of the people OF Morris township if
they fail in this emergency. Let them
formally demand of the Postmaster his
alleged authority. If he fails to produce
it, report the facts to the Postmaster Gems
eral to be dealt with as the law directs,
Should any pretended authority be pros
duced, it is their duty as good and loyal
citizens, to let the world know what and
why it is.

Bea."We are now not surprised at the
reports which have constantly reached us
that many regiments have deterior ated in
efficiency since reaching Washington. 1t
would seem that there is no Secretary OF
War there, and above all no Commander
in Chief, or state Of things so deplora-
Ibly subversive ofall discipline could nev'
er exist"
We clip this Unreasonable" fling from a
late number of tlie New York Irib,me.-
For the informati, n of Massa Greedy we
will state that if he had called at the door
Of the Treasury Department he would
have found the whole brood in it filling
their pockets with quite number of side
door arrangements, through which they
satisfy their numerous friends.
If Greedy cannot find, or understand,
the "side door" arrangements, we would
refer him to the Chief Clerk of the War
Department, John 2. Sanderson, or to
the late Chairman of the american"
State Central Committee of Pennsylva.

The --latest from MtSSOuri-Gea. Lyon
Preparing to attack Springfield.
RoLLA, Mo. August S.-A gentleman
from Springfield on Monday, at noon, fur
nishes the following information in re-
gard to Gen Lyons movements.
Gen. Lyon, with his forces, had fallen
back on Springfield. having reached there
on Monday morning, and was preparing
for a vigorous defense. The rebels were
advancing by four different roads. Their
advance had been ascertainined to be 10
Or Ii miles distant.
Gen. Lyon had called out $500 Home
Guards, from the country arcnnd Spring
field, to aid him. 1t was expected that
the enemy would make an immediate at
tack, from the fact that their commissar-
lat is in a miserable condition, being
obliged to depend on forced contributions
for temporary supplies.
Ii was generally remarked in Spring
field that Gen. Lyon seemed perfectly
confident of success in case of an attack
lie had no intrenchments, but depended
upon his spledid artillery in the open
field.
Fifty wagons filled with provisions had
reached him.
Gen. Pope's military district has been
extended so as to embrace two tiers Of
counties south of the Missouri river inclu.
ding st. Louis, where he has established
his headquarters.

HoNtsr" " ABE LINcoLN.-President
Lincoln has found himself in great deal
OF trouble ever since he crawled upon the
Chicago Platform. Gen. Scott says he is
good man, yLtalone- -intimating that he
is being used by others. Mr. Breckenridge
said the same thing of him the other day
in the Senate, adding that he believed
him to be "hoHest;" and the late Senator
Douglas has frequently expressed similar
Language. All these expressions go to
show that if Mr.. Lincoln is wrong it is
owing either to mistaken judgement, or
it is because he is not ''let alone,
However correct these gentlemen may
be in their opinions, Mr.. Lincoln has Ger
talhly maintained his consistency as an
advocate of Abolitiouism and negro equal.
ity, to say nothing Of secession and dsu-
nioniSn. In his inaugural address, the
following remarkable passage occurs,
which, if our system of government is as
it was understood by Alexander Hamil-
ton, and others who assisted in framing
our Constitution, is complete vindica-
tion of the right Of secession as claimed
by the Southern people.
"This country with its institutions be-
long to the people who inhabit it; ,ohencve,
hcy shaHgOw esary Qfhe cristing government
they can exercise thor constitutional
right of amending it, OR THEIR REVO-
LUTIONARY RIGHT TO DISMEM Der
OR OVERTHROW IT."
If a Democrat would use such language
he would be called rank secessionist,
and jeff. Davis may search oil the wri-
tings Of secessiondom and nowhere
will he find larsuag so useful to his press
snt purpose.

by about $50 men from Centralia, Iowa,
on the opposite side Of the river, gave
chase after them for about mile ard n
half, killing one, taking eighteen prisons
ers and capturing thirty one horses and a
couple Of secession flags. Several Conted
crates were wounded in the chase Gtter
the battle, and six or eight were found
dead on the field.
Ia the aft the bearer of flag Of
truce came in from the secession camp,
who admitted that they had carried off
fourteen of their killed, and as many more
were wounded or missing. The Conied-

ex-senator Jim Greene. The Union men
had only three killed and eight wounded

northeastern section Of the State, on the
Desmoines river, % or 80 miles west Of

1t is reported that the Union forces,
having been further reinforced by five Or
six hundred troops from Iowa, marched
on Monday night id pursuit of the rebels,
eight miles from Athens, and a
fight took at that point, unless the enemy
retreated.

A DEsERTER SHOT.
The Charleston Courier says
Mr.. j. "A. Thompson, Of the Washing

q member Of the committee from this city
a tact which explains in great part the
severe and persistent attack and concen-
tration by ,he enemy on the Hampton
Legion in the late battle.
A renegade shopkeeper who had sup
piled the Legion with milk when in camp
near Richmond, went over 10 tie enemy

THE PEACE PARrY.--Day by day the
peace party in this country is growing
stronger and stronger. The first flush OF
angry excitement having passed away,
and the stern and horrible realities ofwar
having begun TO manifest themselves, the
conservative thinking portion Of the COM
murity are beginning to ask themselves
what can he gained by all this bloodshed
end devastation And they find the
question, when considered in its various
bearings, far more easily asked than an
swered. Each day the suicidal policy Of
the administration becomes more and
more evident. Each day the people see
more clearly that is folly to build up an
immense national debt to lie like an in
cubus upon the energies and resources Of
the country for years. They a:e begin
ming to understand that the sacrifice Of
thousands of lives is wrong, when elm
negotiation will settle every difference
They have abundant evidence that the
war, il prolonged, will utterly ruin every
business man at the North, and throw
the entire laboripg class into state Of
destitution and distress never before wit
essed on this continent. Because OF
these facts the friends Of peace are daily
becoming bolder and more numerous
