From the St. Louis Republican.
When Colonel Deitzler led the charge
down the bill, after discovering that large
force OF the enemy was closing in to the
right and left 10 an effort to surround his
little force, he ordered retreat. Amid the
noise and confusion of the constant firing of
musketry and the roaring of artillery, the
order was not heard by Captain Clayton,
who continued to advance until be came to
the brow of the hill, where he discovered a
regiment of men whom he supposed from
their uniform to be Sigel's regiment, ad
vancing toward him at right angles. Their
Colonel asked the Captain where the ene>
my were. He replied by pointing ~ the
direction OF the retreatiDg rebel forces, and
Immediately commenced aligning his COM
pany upon the right of the regiment. All
at once Captain Clayton mistrusted that

Colonel, he recognized in him an old &C.
quaintance, being no less than Colonel
Clarkson, of Kansas Border Ruffian notori.

The Captain then gave the command,
Right oblique, march," When be had
moved his company distance OF some
thirty PAGES away from the enemy's
line, the Adjutant of the rebel regiment
rode rapidly towards him and commanded
him to halt. He did so, and Immediately
brought his company to an "about face"
fronting the enemys line. The Adjutant
asked, "what troops are these?" Il belong
to the First Kansas Regiment" replied the
Captain )" who are you ?" II am the Ad :.

damn you; you're my prisoner" said the
Captain, presenting his pistol. He obeyed,
and, upon the demand of the Captain, de
livered over bis sword.
"Now, says the Captain, "order your
men not to fire, or you're dead man." and

THE MIssIssIPPIASs.-We invite attention
to the card of the Rev. G. X. MARSHALL, Gen.
eral Agent of the Mississippi Military Asso-
Citations. His establishment of depots in
Richmond and at Manassa, TO ensure the de,
livery of goods, clothing, &c., for the soldiers.
Isl highly practical and invaluable measure.
The mississippi soldier is thus taken care of in
this particular The example is good. Some
system, more eiiectnally to ensure the delivery
of boxes and packages to the soldiers should be
adopted. There have been great losses of valua-
bic things sent to the soldiers Fighting jas they
are, for the protection of.the country, there
should be vigilant eye kept upon things sent
