ST.. Louis, Juue i9th.---It IS reported here
that. Gen. Lyon has completely routed the
State forces at Bonneville, killing three hun

ST. Lotus, June 10.-The report Of a battle
at Bonneville is confirmed.
The State iSecession troops have been com
petely defeated by the United States troops

the rest dispersed. Gen. Price, the Secession
commander, was taken, sick with the dlarrh9h

State will rise and say those of the Home
Guard who recently fred upon the people in
that city 1t also says that the majority for
secession in Tennessee is 81, $40.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
We find the following dispatch from Louis
Vile (June 49, in the Southern papers
Gentlemen from ST. Louis say that rei-
ance VIII .ver can be placed in dispatches
emanating from St. Louis or any point rcla in g
to affairs in Mirsouri-the telegraph being ut
tcrlv subolned. The St Louis Democrat con-
trolls the Western line, but the officials dictate
what shall be sent at last.
The capture Of Gen. Lyon was believed there,
and thought probable here; but not word
has been telegraphcd since the dispatch last
night from the Dcsoocrat, giving details Of how
jackson viewed the iig ht distant hIU, and
fed 10 parts unknown; and how Gen. Price
was seized with violent di:trrl!oaa the com
mencemcnt Of the fight, and taken to his home
on boat
The editors Of the independent, truth telling
papers are Jailed for treason.

GRArroN, June 1.-The Secession forces
from Romncy burnt the railroad bridge over
New Crt elk twcEty-thrcc miles West OF Cum
bcrland, early this morning, and marched 10
Piedmont five miles further West, which place

their approach to the town, and the citizens
were preparing to leave when our informant
left All the engines belonging to t.e Balu-
more and Ohio Railroad Company were fred
up and sent West to Grafton.
The greatest excitement prevailed y com
many Of citizen soldiers Who were guarding the

aud killed.
On the approach Of the ScceSson'ts the
Piedmont operator closed the telegraph office
and fed, and we have no means Of ascertain

IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
GRAF ON June Il Information, thought
to be reliable says that 800 Confederate
troops are i'll the neighborhood Of Beverly and
PhlIippi, and that an attack will be made on
the latter place.
There can be no doubt but that the Seces-
sonsts in Western Virginia have been largely
reinforced, and soon grand movement Is cs,n-
tenplatcd. The Federal troops will be equal
to any emergency and large reinforcements will
probably reach here in a few days. y force
sufficient to guard the Cheat River bridge has
been sent forward from here
