Of the States forces, and numbered them
IS such. Senator Baker, who had been
acting as Brigadier General, received a
Colonels commission from Gov. Curtin,
which was the highest military appoint
ment consistent with his senatorial char
acter. In this capacity he had command
Of one Of the divisions under Gen. Stone,
and fell willie gal1antly leading his men
against the enemy.
Colonel Joseph B. P1ummer, who COM.
manded the troops at the battle Of Fred
ericktown, no, is Q native Of Massachu-
sets, and graduate Of West Point in 1841,
when he entered the regular army. In
1852 he was promoted to Captaincy in
tue 1st infantry, and in that capacity COM.
manded a company ofregulars under Gen.
Lyon at Springfield. He was few weeks
ago appointed Colonel Of the Missouri
11th, and placed in command at Cape
Girardeau. When, therefore, the forces
from Cape Gira1deau and 1ronton met at
FredericktoWn to give battle to the enc
my, his rank as an army officer gave him
command Of the whole. The troops under
him numbered about 5000, with cavalry
and artillery, and their success is repre-
sented to have been complete. The enemy
at last accounts were being pursued south
WGld.
Major J. S. Gayitt, of the Indiana caval-
r, killed at Fredericktown, was resident
Of Evansville, Ind, and former sheriff Of
that county. Capt. Hermon, also Of the
cavalry, killed, was likewise resident OF
southern Indiana.

THE TWO ACTIONS

There is, we take it, no more reason for
tonccaling the fact that our forces
at Leesburgh met with severe repulse
on Monday, than there is for sup
pressing thenews ofour victory at Ionton
on the same Jay. The disaster counter
balances the success, and we start off anew
with the account with the rebels un-
changed. We regret, however, to be COM
PEELED to say that in the Leesburgh affair
we haye only the repetition OF the old story

fight, and Federal repulsc In this case,
