From MIssoURI.-The latest news we have
from Missouri is to the effect that General
Hunter had abandoned his pursuit of Gen
Price, evacuated Springfield, and fallen back
with the whole of his command upon Saint
Louis. A telegram from the last mentioned
city, under date of November 18th, states that
Hunter and his staff arrived there that night
He must therefore, have hastily retraced his
steps, leaving Pope and Sturgis and Siegel,
and Asboth, 10 follow him with their respec-
tive divisions, all of which are reported to be
marching for st. Louis via Rolla. 1t is sup
posed that grand expedition down the Mis-
sissippi is contemplated. We note also as one
of the more remarkable circumstances of this
war, that General Price is discovered to be
simultaneously retreating to Arkansas, and
that Mccullough has also broken up his camp
and is marching in the same direction. Thus
the TWO armies, which but few days since,
were approaching to give battle, strange to
say, are actually reported as retiring in con-
trary directions.

Capture of a goraging Party.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l6.--A forage party
went out from General Wadsworth's brigade
yesterday, and having procured a large sup
ply of corn they started back. In the after
noon five Of the wagons detached from the
main body halted on the road two miles and
a half to the left Of Falls Church, the men
stacking their arms and moving towards a
farm house to get something to eat A this
moment party Of Confederate cavalry who
had been scouting in the neighborhood, avail
ing themselves Of the opportunity thus pre-
scented, suddenly rushed between the soldiers
aud their guns, thus rendering them powerlcss
to resist. The consequence was the capture
of five loaded wagons, and, it is supposed, 81
prisoners.

ARREST or NEssRs SLlDcLL AND MASON The
arrest of Messrs. Slidell and Mason, an ac..
count of which we publish elsewhere, has en-
crossed large share of public attention the
past week. The Northern journals, with a
few exceptions, justify the act, and applaud
the summary method which was taken by
Commodore Wilkes to get possession of the
obnoxious "comnissaries'' or 'emsaries, - as
they are variously, but not elegantly styled.
Writers learned in international law are libe-
rally quoted tofortify the position which has
been taken, and if the unanimity Of sentiment
which characteiizes the administration press
indicates correctly what the opinion Of Great
Britain Will be upon the subject, there is GER
tainly no trouble TO be apprehended from that
power But Notwithstanding the confident
tone of the newspapers, the under current Of
popular feeling is one Of uncasiness.

ARREST OF SENATOR GwIE.--Senator Gwin,
With his travelling companions, Mcssrs. Ben
ham and Brent, were arrested, on the Sd inst,
in the harbor of Panama, by order Of General
Sumner. They were brought to New York
and released on PAROLE We see it stated that
their parole has been recalled, by order Of
the authorities at Washington, and that they
are now held under arrest until the action Of
the State Department she'll have been made
known. BY all accounts a rigid search Of
their baggage disclosed nothing that implica-
ted these gentlemen, but it is intimated that
they succeeded in destroying important pa
pers before the search commenced.

From the Washington Star, Nov. l6.
Seizure of Messrs. Mason and SlideIl.

The United States steamer San Jacinto
cruising in the Bahama channel on the 9Th OF
November, in the forenoon, overhauled the
English mail steamer Trent, and placed her
under her 1.-THE Jacinto's) guns.
Lieut. Fairfax was ordered on board the
Trent to ascertain if Messrs. Slidell, Mason,
Mcfarland and Eustis were on board /; with
directions, in case he found them there, to
cause them TO be brought on board the San
Jacnto. They were found there, and de-
clined to go on board the U. S. steamer unless
force was used; whereupon Lieut.. Fairfax
placed his hand on Mason's shoulder, ana
with other assistance, quietly took him to the
Trents" gangway and from thence into
the San Jacinto's boat
Mr.. Slidell makinga similar assertion of
his purpose, was taken to the gangway and
carried on to the San Jacintos boat in the
same way.
The rest of the party, including the females,
and all their baggage, were taken on board
the boat, and thence on board the United
States war steamer San Jacinto, in the same
way also.
They were all well treated on Capt Wilkes
Ship, which Immediately started for the
United States with her important prisoners
reaching Hampton Roads yesterday friday
morning.
Captain Wilkes sends to the Navy Depart
ment voluminOus papers on the affair, in
GLIDING written statements concerning their
capture, from all the male prisoners named
above. 1t is presumed that they will be land
ed at New York, and from thence be transfer
red to Fort Warren Boston harbor, their pa
pers being forwarded to the Government here

FFoM NORFOLK. From Norfolk via Fortress
Monroe we learn that the intelligence of the
arrest of the Southern "emssaries' had caus-
ed great excitement among the ConRderates,
many Of whom rejoiced at the occurrence as
having tendency to provoke retaliatory
measures on the part Of England.

The Invasion OF South Carolina.

There are no tidings ofspecial interest from
the invaders at Port Royal. They seem to be
strengthening themselves for permanent oc-
cupation Of the islands skirting the harbor Of
Port Royal, but have as yet made no ad vance
in force towards the mainland. Our forces
are vigorously at work establishing line Of
defences across the lower country.

The Battle of Belmont, Mo.

AnC Vi MO.
The Cairo correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer Republican, under date of Nov.
g. gives full account of the battle of Bel
mont, from which we extract the following
paragraphs
"If the movement had been properly planned,
il might possibly have succeeded as it is, we
have been most abominably beaten. There is
no use Disgusting the fact-it was second
Bull Run, but without the Generalization of
the troops that followed that disastrous en-
gagement. Our transports landed at Hunter
farm, in Lucas Bend, about four miles above
the town, formed in two divisions, struck out
to the road and marched down in double
column. ABOUT mile below the landing, at
a dry slough they met the enemy drawn up
on the other side, and the battle commenced
1t was just load and fire for four hours, the
enemy contesting every inch of the ground
and fighting like tigers We drove them into
their camp and ont ID it, taking full posses
sion. The defeated party hay down behind
the river bank, while our troops amused them
selves by burning their tents and camp equi-
page, and picking up what they had left lying
around loose
"While we were engaged in this pleasant,
but Improbable occupation, our men being
utterly demoralized by the prospect Of plum
der, considerable reinforcement crossed over
from Columbus to our rear, while force in
the woods fell upon us. and the Confederates
that we had already defeated renewed the at
tack
1.-THE fact is, that we were surrounded, and
it became necessary for our men to cut their
way through the enemy, which they did with
the greatest bravery, and with considerable
GOODNESS. The retreat, however was soon
turned to n stampede, and our men rushed
| pell-mell for their boatS which were still near
Hunters, the Confederate troops following
them up briskly, and pouring in volley after
yoiley, in such rapid succession, as to NOW
down our men by scores.
"Our loss in killed, wounded and missing
will probably amount to |, 500 or GOO, but
there can be no reasonable estimate made as
yet. We have $50 wounded here of those
who were wounded in the first contest. We
recovered but few if any after that. We were
whipped badly, as far as can learn. The 9TH
Iowa lost 240, as Col. Lauman says"

FROM CANADA.-The New York Times fur
nishes some brief extracts from the Toronto
(Canada) papers on the subject of the arrest
Of Messrs. Slidell and Mason. If the structures
Of the Canadian papers may be accepted as
foreshadowing the view which the English
journals will take, there can be no doubt that
the question will assume a very grave aspect
