The Situation IN -HisSourI.-A
Sedalia correspondent Of the Burling
ton {Iowa) Hawl<-Eve, after stating
that Gen. Price is at Osceola, Oh the
Usage, where he will be compelled to
fight, gives the following as the pro-
cramme of Gen. Halleck for annihi-
lating the great Missouri chieftan:
The whole division of this depart
nent will move upon him from five
different points at the same time
Hunter. with his division from the
West, to prevent a possibility of his
going into Kansas, and thus prevent
his devastating that State, or escap-
ing in that direction. Gems. Wyman
and Ashboth, from Rolla, will proceed
by way of Spring field OF Bolivar, to
prevent his retreating South. Gen.
Pope, from Syracuse, will go by way
of Warsaw, and Gen. Seele's divis-
ion from Sedalia. These different
divisions will constitute force of
about $4,000 men, with about 1000
cavalry, and two or three powerful
batteries. With this programme well
executed, it will be a miracle if he
should escape. AS to the numbers.
the two armies will probably be about
equally matched.
The Little Rock Journal says that
letter from Fayetteville conveys the
Intelligence that Gen. Price had en-
gagged the Yankees at Rolla and routed
them. No particulars given.

The soft and balmy air to-dsy,
Blows from IA howery strand;
The skies are bright above US,
And smile upon this land:
And though full oft the russet leaf
Dcscends upon the gale,
And whirls in eddying gusts along
The browning grassy va'e-
Still yet the blushing queenly rose
Unfolds its petals fair,
Aud breathcs its transient life away,
In sweetness on the air.
And vet DER all this lovcliness.
There hangs a gloomy pail,
Like blackcning clouds at sunset,
When evening shadows fall:
j7or still upon the'Northorn gale
Is heard the eannon'S boom.
Aud many Il gallant soldier,
Lies in his clay cold tomb.
Yes, those we loved so dearly
Are sleeping far away,
With still hands folded mcekly-
Beneath the cold, cold clay.
The sky so bright above lis
The blooming of the flowers
Seem oft to chide and mock us.
These sad and lonely hours.
They're gone from town and country
They're gone from hill and dale;
Yes, gone from home and tiresidc,
Gone! gone! repeats the gale.
The mothers heart is weary,
Tbe father often sighs,
Tears like the pear!y dewdrops,
CLEAN in the maiden's eyes.
The one she loves SO fondlv,
Isin the mighty strife
To purchase Southern liberty
Though dearly bought with life.
Then wall We Autumn breezcs,
Above the fading flowers,
For we are very lonely:
These long and dreary hours
The church pews now are vacant.
Where once sat those We love-.
But now perhaps they're blending,
Their songs with those above.
o Thou who rules in heaven;
Who rides upon the storm,
That guides the Lightning flashes;
Shield those we love from harm
Roll back the clouds of sorrow
That gather DER the land;
And may the sun of liberty,
Soon beam upon the band
OF brothers, now in armor
For rights we hold most dear:
And vanpuish Thou the invader,
And teach us not to fear.

up his English residence. He has resolved
not to carry any further his resistance in the
Hungarian notes case. The transaction cost
him 10000, of which $4,000 represents the
value of the beautifully engraved notes now to
be reduced to pulp. Kossuth is very much de-
