The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1861-08-24
Interesting from Rolla.

.-s RoLLA, Mo-, Aug Is.
The correspondent of the St. Louis Re
publican furnishes the following:
Gen. Sterling Price has issued procla-
nation at Springfield, to the effect that a
great victory has been won; that the
Northern oppressors of Missouri have been
driven back that every one belonging to
the Home Guard organization will be re-
garded and treated as an enemy to the
Southern Confederacy, but that his protec-
ton would extend to such as quietly return
to their homes and allow the Southern sway
to prevail and that whoever recognizes
the provisional Governor of Missouri will
be considered as an enemy to the State, and
dealt with accordingly.
Capt. Mcdonald reports that Gen. Price
and Clark were slightly and Brig. Gen.
Slack severely wounded in the late engage
ment: also Col. Kelly, formerly of Capt
Jackson's body guard. Mcdonald was very
anxious to get to st. Louis, but his applica-
ton was refused. He asked many ques-
tons with view of ascertaining how many
troops, cannon, &c. there are in that city,
and what preparations are being made to re-
sist an attack. He reports Capt. Chas. G.
Rogers, aid to Gov. Jackson. and Captain
Stephen o. Coleman, both of St. Louis. as
killed in the battle of the 10th. Also, that
McCulloch's force, before the battle, was
90. 900 strong, and their killed and wounded
g. 500 to 5000.
Gen. Sigel received his commission as
Brigadier General on Saturday, and assum-
ed command of the Federal forces here yes
terday.
Mcdonald was escorted beyond the lines
yesterday, and sent on his way to Spring
field. He no doubt gained much valuable
information of the strength and position of
our forces, &C., as it is said that he had
the freedom of our camp, under his flag of
truce.
Our wounded at Springfield are reported
to be doing we'll.

SPRIEGFIELD, Mo-, Aug. IL
| The battle ragged for two hours moFe-
the command devolying upon Maj. Slufgis.
The enemy made repeated attempts to re-
take the heights from which they had been
driven, but were CALAMITY repulsed each
time.
The Kansas Regiments behaved with a
bravery seldom or never equaled, forming
ambuscades for the benefit of the Rebels by
lying fiat on the ground until the enemy
came near enough to see their eyeballs,
when they would pour deadly volley into
their opponents. and again remain in pos
session of the field.
The last repulse of the enemy was the
most glorious of all and was participated in
by members of every regiment on the field.
The enemy came fresh and deceived our
men by bearing a Union flag, causing them
to believe Sigel was about making juno
ton with our forces. Discovering the ruse
just in time. our gallant boys rushed upon
the enemy, who, with four cannon belching
forth loud mouthed thunder, were on the
point of having their efforts crowned with
success; and again drove them with great
loss down the slope on the south side of the
hill.
Capt. Totten's ammunition was now near
IL exhausted, and placing Dubois's battery
upon the hill at the north end of the valley,
Major Sturgis ordered the ambulances to
move towards town. The infantry and Tot
tens full battery followed in good order,
and were not pursued by the enemy, who
was evidently glad to be let alone,
When Gou Sinal uho ondod the
eastern division, heard the roar Of Totten's
artillery, he at once attacked the enemy in
his quarter, driving him half mile and
taking possession of his camp, extending
westward to the Fayetteville road. Here a
terrible fire was poured into his ranks by
regiment which he had permitted to ad-
vance within few PAGES of him, supposing
it to be the Iowa First. His men scattered
considerably, and Col. Solomon's could not
be rallied; consequently Sigel lost five OF
his guns, the other being brought away by
Capt. Flagg, who compelled his prisoners,
some so in number, to draw the artillery
off the field.
Our troops took some 400 horses and
about 70 prisoners, and compelled the enc
my to burn nearly all his baggage to keep
it from falling into our hands.
The enemy had 81 pieces of cannon, and
at the last a6, including those taken from
Sigel. There were none of them worked !
with precision, every shot, for nearly an
hour, going "whiz,'' 90 feet over our heads. |
Our loss is about goo killed and 600 or
700 wounded, while the loss of the enemy |
must have been double our own.
DR.. Schenck, who was in The rebel camp |
at late hour last evening bringing away
Dur wounded, reports our men comparative
y few with those of the enemy, whose
lead were lying thick under the trees.
