ST.. LOUIS, June 10.
A special dispatch to the Republican
gives further particulars of the battle at
Boonville. The Federal troops landed
five miles below the encampment of State
forces. The latter had a battery near
Boonville, pointed towards the river, but
it was circumvented by the Federals and
proved useless. Gen. Lyon Immediately
advanced on the State troops, and was
met in lane where the firing commenced.

A NATIONAL BASK.--It is probable that
the country will have to come to the good
old Wing doctrine of National Bank
at last. The necessity for one is keenly
felt, and the question is being agitated.
Even such hard money organs as the New
York Herald speak favorably of the pro-
iect. There never was good argument
adduced against a National Bank. nor
can there be; on the contrary. it would be
benefit to the whole country. The
Democratic party made opposition to q
National Bank their chief hobby for years.
and succeeded in making thousands of
honest people believe that it was a mon
ster, which was robbing them and eating
up their substance. Then they destroyed
the Bank, and made the people believe
that the Wings were the authors of the
ruin which followed. Clay and Webster
were roundly abused and slandered for
being champions of National Bank, and
Biddle was name used to frighten chill
dren with-to say nothing of simpletons
of mature years. Clay and Webster are
dead but it is not improbable that the
time will arrive when the people will
come to demand just such Bank as these
great statesmen strove for. People are
more intelligent than they were twenty
five years ago. There are more school
houses, more newspapers, more people
that read, and more men who think and
act for themselves. And just in proper
tion as this ratio increases, just so much
stronger will the doctrines Of Clay anu
Webster grow in public favor.

Also, that Beauregard was there, and
