RoLLA, Mo, August 22.-Accouats from
Springfield are to the effect that from 5000
to 10000 of McCullough's army had left
for the North A small force has reached
Lebanon on the Rolla road and are engaged
in making reprisals and committing depre-
datiOns on Union men. About 700 of the
exiles from Springfield have joined Colonel
Boyd's regiment. They were compelled to
abandon their homes in the southwest and
leave their property to the mercy of the
rebels. There is much distress among these
people, large numbers of them having nei-
Their money nor provisions. The train of
the federal army which WIS brought from
Springfield by Major Sturgis is said to be
worth $l,5O0,00O. The passage of the
rebel army North will enable our forces
when they move back to Springfield to cut
off its communication and retreat into Ar
kansas and completely enclose it in the
western counties Of the State. ....

NEW YoRK, August 23.-George Miles
of Petersburg, Virginia, and John Garnet
Guthrie of Richmond, collecting agents of
tobacco houses in Virginia were arrested in
this city to-day by a detective police aud
sent to Fort Lafayette for safe keeping by
order OF Secretary Seward. Guthrie is
tobacco manufacturer and had made large
shipments to this city, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore. The passage of the confederate
act had compelled him TO come off to make
collections before the enforcement of the
measure He accordingly visited the city
with such success as to obtain $l44, 600,
and having a fancy for speculation ne Wis
tied Wall street where his friends helped
him to liberal investments in various con-
federate bonds and stocks. Their operations
came to the knowledge of the police. Mr.
Miles was agent for James Thomas of Rich
hmond and had been collecting about
$4,000. He had also made liberal invest
ments in Southern stocks. About SIT, 900
was recovered from the two prisoners, prin-
cipally in bonds, acceptancts sight drafts,
Virginia paper money, and about $ 200 in
gold. A large number OF letters addressed
to persons in the Southern States were
found in their possession indicating that
they were contemplating an early depart

ers that Bulls Run is so swollen by rains
as tolead to the fear that they might be cut
off from their supplies. @ &
IL is proven by officers intelligence that
there is no considerable force near the riv-
En- above or below.
The report that a body had crossed at
Harper's Ferry is false. Mr. Russell, of the
London Times, reports no soldiers at the
Ferry last night, on either side. The forts
below there are well guarded, and even
when the river falls so low as to make it
possible to cross above Leesburg, it would
be useless because of the steepness of the
bank. 4t-
Deserters' stories about the rebel force be-
ing 10000 strong are discredited.
Gen. Hunter has almost recovered from
his wounds. He will, tomorrow, take

FREDERIcKsBURGH, Nd. August 23.-The
Agent of the Associated Press, with Gen.
Banks division writes that the health of
the army is generally good. The hospital
has but few tenants. There had been a
great Improvement since leaving Sandy
Hook. Russell, of the London Times, was
here on Sunday morning, and proceeded to-
ward Sandy Hook, apparently for the pur-
pose of visiting the whole line of Potomac
defenees. There was some curiosity to
catch glimpse of him. Remarks, not par
ticularly complimentary were uttered by
some of the soldiers who had perused some
of his letters.

WASHINGTON, Ang. 23d--The continued
Improvement of the troops in all respects is
