to the late battle at Springfield, Mo- on the au-
thorty of private letter said to have been re-
ceived there, and in the face of the Pony dis

A third battle is reported rs having occurred
at Springfield, southwest Of Jefferson City, within

FEMALE ENERGY The following just tribute
to the influence Of womany energy is from the
fluent pen of Washington Irving:
al have noticed that u married man falling
into misfortune ia more apt to retrieve his situa-
ton in the world, than u single one, chiefly be-
cause his spirits are soothcd and relieved by
domestic endearments, and selfrespect kept alive
by finding that although abroad may be dark
ness aud humiliation, yet there is still u little
world Of love at home, of which he is the monarch.
Whereas, a single man is apt to run to waste
aud self eglect-to fall to ruin like some desert
ed mansion, for want of inhabitants. have often
had occasion to remark the fortitude with which
women sustain the most overwhelming reverses
Of fortune. Those disasters which break down
the spirit Of man, and PROSTATE him in the dust,
seem to call forth all the energies Of the other
sex, aud give such intrepidty and elevation of
character, that at times il appears suhllmity.--
Nothing can be more touching than to behold
a soft and tender female, who had been all weak
ness and dependence, and alive to every trivial
roughness, while treadlng the prosperous path,
suddenly rising in mental force TO he the com
fOrter and supporter of her husband under mis-
fortune, abiding with unshrinking lrmess the
bterest blast of adversely. As the vine which
has long since twued its foliage about the oak,
and has been lifted by his sunshine will, when
the hardy plant is rifted by the thunderbolt cling
around it with its caressing tendrs, and bind up
its tender brow, So too, it Is beautifully ordained
by Providence, that woman who is the ornament
Of man IN his happier hours, should be his stay
aud soace when smitten with dire aud sudden
calamity, winding herself into the rugged recess
es of his nature, tenderly supporting his dropping
head, and binding up the broken heart.

PARsoN BROwNIow.- veteran, it is said
has at last fallen a victim to Southern despOtism
which is crushing out every vestige of freedom

General ZollicoiIer one of the Tennessee traitors.
But he will rise again, and his paper will yet write
the obituary of Sou hern treason and rebellion.

As Tennesseans. we have daa.p op- sympathized with ou.

We will protect your nson'a SSu from wrongs of our army, and while we hirns eyeryreason to believe that no violence saI ,r,I be done to your true hearted and loyal peool. the general commanding begs to be inforrra"yy if any case of wrong should occur. ''u
 To the gallant army under his command who hold in their keeping the honor of Ten nessee (though composed of Tennesseans. Mis. sissippians and Kentuckians,) he appeals as ! father of his children--to violate the.right os no peaceable citizens, but to guard the bono, of Tennessee as you would that of an aifas. tionate mother, cheering you as her sons.
 The field for active service is before you. our stay here will be short-our mission ia to place our down-trodden sister on her feet. anS to enable her to breath after the heavy tread of the tyrant's foot.
 Then by her own brave sons, she will main. tain her rights and protect her own fair wo. men from the foe whose forces march under banners inscribed with "booty and beautv.v as the reward for victory.
 In the victory the brave are always merciful but no quarter will be shown to troops march. ing under such banner.
 In this view, and for these purposes, we call upon the people of Missouri to come to our standard, join in our forces and aid inther own liberation. If you would be freemen you must fight for you rights.
 Bring such arms as you have--we will fur. nish you with ammunition aud lead yon on to victory. That the just ruler of natonsis with us, is manifested in the glorious victory with which our arms were crowned at the bloody field of Manassas.
