WESTERN EMGRAT1oN.-We are not
surprised to learn that there is this season
very large overland emigration. When.
ever we have commercial distress at the
east it drives away thousands of industri.
ous people to try their fortunes in regions
where panics have little influence. =
: 1t is now that business men begin to
comprehend the value of the great victory
won in Kansas, for that free State secures
to these Northern cities the trade of Mis-
souri,, Kansas. Colorado and New Mexico,
which in the present war would other
wise have been entirely lost. Since. then.
it is so much to our advantage to stimu-
late the growth Of free States in the west.
and we have at present large surplus
population on account of the stagnation
In business, let every means be used to
induce emigration west. Let the aid to
the industrious take this shape, for it
would be much better to place q man in
the position to be self-supporting than
merely to assist him to live from day to
day. Emigration Aid societies at this
juncture would be of vast benefit to the
to the West, to the humber class
es. We want in many parts of our west.

tion as our sturdy emigrants could furnish.

HONE TRAIToRs "BRoUGHr TO TAw."
On Saturday last, James and Jacob
Mills placed an American flag on bull
ding of theirs, at Nj. Roy, in Brown
County, and the secessionists about there
threatened to tear it down. At night,
men were set to watch it /; but the seces-
sionists stole march on them, and sue
eeeded in getting the flag down, when a
sentinel discovered them. gave chase, and
fired two shots at one of them. On Sun
day. the Brown County Guards proceed
ed to the vicinity. to make arrests. They
seized Lloyd Ashby, William and David
Dunn, two Gwins, another man, and q
boy. Elijah Gwin escaped to the brush.
The boy was the son of Union man,
and appears to have assisted in taking
down the flag merely for the fun of tine
thing, thinking it was only joke. The.
prisoners, refusing to take the oath of al
legiance. were carried to Hiawatha, where,
from some cause, they were released on
Monday. Brother Ashby's greatest trib-

ases, Share in the Battle At buips
Run.
I From the New York Commercial Advertiser ]
The son Of one Of the most estlmaDle
citizens, member of the New York Fire
Zouaves, writes to his parents as follows:
ALEXANDRIA,. July %.
Our troops were called out at half past
eleven o'clock on Saturday, night to move
for the the field of battle; we did not
start until daylight Sunday morning.
We marched until twelve o'clock, noon.
at which time we arrived at the camp OF
the enemy. We ran double quick
pace for about three miles; took OIL our
coats and haversacks and then double
quicked mile. to the battery of the enc
my.
We were the first there. although there
were other troops present. but they were
waiting for us. When we were forming
in line by companies / saw troop of
cavalry driving as fast as they could to
attack our company. we being in the rear.
l gave the alarm, and Company d about
faced to assist our company to keep the
cavalry { Ben McCulloch's) back. They
had seventy-fve men. We charged on
them and killed sixty-six; the other nine
tried to get back to their quarters, but
only two of them succeeded.
We then turned to fall in with the rest
of the regiment. when saw another part
of the cavalry forming in the woods, to
attack us. Two of our boys fired and
shot the two who were in the advance,
when the rest fed to the woods in all di-
rections. This cavalry is the crack cav
airy OF the South, { if they were not then,
we made them such, for we cracked them
right and left
During this time the remainder Of our
regiment were blazing away at the rebels
with muskets, shot and shell. This attack
lasted about fifteen minutes. We were
then obliged to retreat. as they opened on
US with two batteries, their infantry, and
remainder Of their cavalry. We lost in
killed and wounded at that time about
seventy-fve men; our Colonel was shot
in the ear, though not dangerously. The
Sergeant Major was wounded in the foot.
The whole affair was badly managed,
and if we had done as we were ordered,
there would not have been one hundred
of us left. Our commander said many
of our officers were exhausted by the heat
of the sun, but the boys stood it good. 1t
is supposed the rebels lost some eight or
ten hundred in the attack.
After this attack went on hill and
staid there, being so fstigued; the cannon
balls and shells whistled and fell all
around me, and were very poorly directed.
The whole battle lasted about five hours,
when we retreated. Other regiments took
our position and fought very bravely, but
were badly cut up. 1t is said the rebels
had eighty thousand men at the point we
attacked, when we were thirteen thousand
in our division. 1t is thought our divis-
ion lost, killed, wounded and taken prison
ers, two thousand, while the rebels had
lost, killed, wounded and taken prisoners,
eight or ten thousand. One regiment
lost in all, as far as can be ascertained,
three hundred. ED.
