treat of the State troops. Gov. Jack
son is now with his men; the order to
retseat was given on Sunday, purely as
a strategic movement, while ome Of the
boys determined to have the fun of ma
king the invaders smell burning gun
powder anyhow, and the attack was
made with the distinct purpose of re-
treating Immediately afterward. 1t was
currently reported at Boonville that Gen.
Lyon remarked, if the fire of the State
troops had been continued, he must
have ordered a retreat. The Federal
forces stood their ground and returned
the fire, but the State troops were cover
ed by a woodland, and fired from differ
ent directions Oh Lyons forces. Lyon
has now possession of Boonville, and
has issued a proclamation. The State
troops are concentrating at a point if
teen or twenty miles west of Boonville,
and are organizing and preparing fully
for the conflict.
Ben McCulloch, it is stated, is now
advancing between Springfield and Tip
ton with 10000 men and 5000 extra
stand of arms. Gov. jackson intends to-
deal kindly and humanity, not only with
any prisoners who may be taken in bat
tie, but with all those citizens Of Mis-
souri,, whether native or adopted, who
have been misled and deceived by the
wicked teachings of the enemies Of the
State and its institutions. Those men
who have been forced by want of bread
to enter the Federal service, have moth
ing to fear, either i'll wal or peace, from
the civil government of the State, or
from the State troops.

kansas. He himself, left for his home,
at Brunswick. The forces under Gen.
Lyon landed near Rocheport, on the
south side of the Missouri river, and
marched then toward Boonvillc. A few
companies of State troops met them
about six miles below Boonville, and
attacked Lyons forces, Company b,
Blairs Regiment being the party receiv-
ing the fire. About ten of said company
were killed and wounded, as the result
of that fire. The company firing then
retreated. Several other State compan-
les, at this point of time, kept firing from
different directions on Lyons forces
Gen. Lyon then planted his cannon and
fired about twenty rounds on the State
troops, using grape and ball. None of
the State troops were killed by this
cannonading, 50 far as is known. But
those who were seeking the State
troops, to join in the fight, were made
| prisoners to the number of fifteen or
twenty, and two or three are known to
be killed. These prisoners were taken,
and the men killed after a retreat was
ordered by the officers commanding the
State troops.
The State troops retired in good or

engaged in the skirmish. Some ten OF
the Federal troops were killed, and at
many as from twenty to thirty wounded

Col. Marmaduke commanded the State
troops, and Gov. Jackson was in person
on the ground. No cannon were cap
tured by the Federal troops, all having
been saved, except some pieces which
were thrown into the river, these having
been placed in position OF the river,
four miles south of Boonville.
Gen. Parsons, with some fifteen pie

THE w a r!

We give under our Geographic head oil the
most important news items of the week. No
great and decisive battle has as yet been
fought. Our readers will be gratifed at the
news which We take from the Memphis pa
pers, of the arrival Of our agent from Euro
ne. with tidings that the Confederate States
will be able to negotite a loan Of two hundred
million dollars based upon the prospective cot
ton crop. We have no reason to doubt the in
formation. II is known that the planters all
over the South are Ioaning their crops to the
government and receiving the Confederate
bonds as security. The government will thus
come into possession Of the greater part OF the
cotton crops, and will, Of course, be able to
raise money upon it, just as every planter is
in the habit Of raising money from his mer'
chant by hypothecating his crop in advance.
After the crop has been mortgaged IN foreign
countries, it will be shipped to its destination,
blockade or no blockade. We are glad to see
that our sugar planters are beginning to oiier
their sugar crops in the same manner. With
the control of the cotton, sugar and tobacco
crops the Confederate States will be in posses.
sion Of ample means to carry on his war,
without resorting to direct taxation, to which
the bankrupt U. S. government is reduced.

large crowd Of anxious citizens aud synpa-
thizins hearts, eventually, about o'clock, step

pearance indicates. Its Captain IS from a stock
whose Southern pride and high gallant prlnci
Piles, are pro'erbial, many OF whom have al
ready gone to the field.
The company left amidst a shower Of tears
from fair eyes, and the lamentations Of their
tender hearts-while applause after applause,
mingling with the thrilling music, echoed far
over the bosom Of the great river. 1t was

the following truthful words, whicl, we com
mend to the notice Of our brave volunteers /:
1.-The true duty Of The soldier is not merely to
fight a battle or kill an enemy. lie has also to
endure the trials Of the camp, the vigilance Of
the day and night, the restraints Of discipline,
and the patience to bear with his discomforts
and disappoiHtments. This is the real test of
courage, and he who comes out Of the war with
the reputation Of having TINS done his duty
through sunshine and through storm, is the
true man and the thorough soldier"
