The Battle near Springfield.

Another great battle has been fought and won by the valor and determined bra very of southern troops, over the northern army. The particulars of the battle, as we have been able to get them from corres- pondents, and other sources, are about as follows:
 :, At about 6 o'clock on the morning of August 10th, the southern army, under Gen. Ben. McCulloch, was attacked by Gems. Lyon and Seigel, on Wilson's creek, about 10 miles south west of Springfield, Mo-, by their whole force, in three columns, surprising the southerners; as the first in- timation they had of the northern army was destructive fire from their batteries, at three different points, and at the same time. The forces of the contending armies are variously estimated But the most re- liable information on this point is that they were nearly equal in numbers on the battle field. It is also stated that the southern army actually in the engagement did not exceed 4,50O meanwhile that of Lyons forces were from to 10000. The battle lasted 6 hours, when the northern army retreated to Springfield, leaving 800 killed on the field, among which was their commander, Gen. Lyon, and 1000 wound ed, and losing 6 pieces of artillery, and number of small arms.
 The loss of the southern army is stated to be about 265 killed; wounded, 800; and 30 missing. We have lost many valuable officers and men, and the wonder is, how they escaped from being entirely cut to pieces, after being surprised

ITEM M S

The blockading vessels attempted to shell the city of Galveston, Texas They succeeded in killing one person, wounding g two or three others and damaging some houses.
 Our saltpeter caves in the White river valley are being worked by Tennessee company. The Memphis Appeal notices the arrival of two casks in that city. Our Military Board had it's attention called to these caves long ago, but did nothing.- There were too many offices to be created, too many hungry mouths to feed, to attend to such small matters.
 J. B. DeBow has been appointed super intendent of the cotton and produce supply loan of the Confederate States.
 The Memphis Appeal suggests that weekly entertainments should be establish ed in that city, musical, dramatic or other kind, the proceeds of which should be de- voted to assisting the families of soldiers or for other benevolent purposes. Some thing of the kind is on foot, we are told in this city. By this means handsome fund might be raised and placed in the hands of proper persons.
 The New York Day Book says: There is a wag in this town who says he dare not hit man in the streets, for fear he might hit some mojor general, or other high of- ficer in Lincoln's army. Here, if man should hit one of "Me family" he would strike an officer sure, and perhaps two or three at once.
 The newsboys of St. Louis are all seces- sionists. They refused to sell the Republi- can and other abolition sheets. When these papers hired other boys to cry their journals, the regular newsboys fell upon them and beat them. The result was that these papers could only be purchased at

Clothing for the Soldiers.

We direct attention to the circular letter of the military board, in regard to this sub- ject. We have repeatedly directed the attention of our readers to the necessity of making some effort among the people to supply our soldiers with clothing We are glad to see that the board has deter termined to avail themselves of the domes- tic resources of the country. Our soldiers must be clothed, let the cost be what 1t may. We are satisfied that it cannot be secured in the usual markets of the coun- try. The secretary of war, we understand, has addressed circular letter to the exec utives of the various states, in which he urges the impossibility of securing cloth ing in the usual markets, and suggests some such plan as that adopted by the board The people, we are satisfied, will respond to the call upon their liberalty and patriotism in proper spirit. It only needs that their efforts should be directed in systematic channel, to make them effi- cient and valuable. It addresses itself particularly and especially to the ladies. It relates to department with which they are familiar, and their active and system atic aid in this matter, will do much to relieve the wants of their brothers, their husbands and their fathers.

The Effects in Europe of the Great Bat
 tie in Virginia.

The effect of the battle near Manassas Junction, fought in obedience to the fool
 ish and fanatical cry, "On to Richmond!' raised by the republican of this city-the Tribune, the Times and the rest, as we'll as by the bloodthirsty Jacobins of Congress lis likely to prove most detrimental to the interest of the United States in Europe, and in the same ratio advantageous to the cause of the Confederate States. In the view of foreign nations it will eclipse with a dark shadow the bright prestige of ours.- It will injuriously affect financial condi
 ton both here and there, and it will ena- ble the rebels to raise at home, and perhaps abroad, upon the security of their cotton and tobacco, funds to carry on new cam paigns, while there can be no doubt that they will be inspired with fresh courage to strug- gle for their independence, even after their future defeats which await them. The dis aster at Manassas will cost the country one hundred millions of dollars more to achieve the object of the war than would have been necessary had not this terrible blun- der been made. And instead of short war, after which the nations recuperative

The Call for More Troops.

We call the attention of our readers to the proclamation of the governor calling for three thousand troops to serve tor three years or during the war. Arkansas has already sent to the field large number of volunteers. In this respect, she has won the appellation of the " volunteer State" !" These volunteers, however, have enlisted but for twelve months. While this is all right, and while the country will and ought to avail itself of the patriotism of these citizen soldiers, whose circumstances will not permit larger enlistment, yet the good of the service and our ultimate suc- cess req uires that portion Of our soldiers should enlist for longer period. The contest in which we are engaged will be a high exhibition of rival will and opposing power, and will require a prudent hus- bandrv of all the resources of which we can avail ourselves, for success. It will be necessary that our soldiers should be trained and disciplined in the school of the camp, and in the art of war. They cannot ac- quire in the brief space of twelve months that trained discipline, that familiarity with a soldiers life and duty, and that high ca pacity for physical endurance which will fit and prepare them for the stern conflict of actual war. It is the experience of our best military men that volunteers who en- list but for twelve months, do not acquire the necessary discipline to enable the coun- try to repose securely upon their efforts be- fore the expiration of their term of ser vice. The quota assigned by the President to Arkansas is reasonable and can be easily filled. Arkansas has as yet furnished but two regiments for the war. In this re- spect, she lags in the rear of her sister States. This should not be the case The term of service ought not to be objected to; for we will have to give exclusive at tention to the war till it is over, and dur ing its whole continuance, 1t will require the exertions of all of our people to bring 1t to successful termination.
 We hope the press throughout the state will call attention to the proclamation. and urge upon the people the necessity of fill ing the new levy at as early period as possible.

the respective offices, or at the various news depots. Since then the Bulletin and Missourian have been suppressed and no truth telling paper is allowed to be pub lished in St. Louis. Poor newsboys, their occupation, like that of Othello, IS gone.
 It is said that T. A. R. Nelson, who pretended to be elected to the federal Con- gress by the Unionists of East Tennessee, and who was carried prisoner to Rich mond, has been released by President Davis, on condition of returning to Ten nessee and advising the people to adhere to the Confederate government.
 We urge upon our planters to use the iron ties for their cotton bales. True, bag ging and rope may be admitted into the Confederacy, but this is done to conciliate Kentucky and keep her in Lincolndom.- If we refuse to buy, she will grow more and more restless.

A MUTINY AT FORTRESS MoNRoE.-The Washington correspondent of the Balti- more Exchange, dated Monday, says
 The streets of the city have been throng- ed all day by groups of drunken and disor- derly soldiers, who have been guilty of all sorts of excesses without regard to either the law of the city or tle rules of modern society. Hurrahing and hallooing at the top of their voices. rudely elbowing pass eneers on foot-way, including ladies, using vulgar and abusive epithets to their com rades and to citizens, are some of the mil der sorts of amusements pursued by the hordes now quartered in and about the city.
 There will shortly be large number of removals in the interior department; the oreatest propoton are to be taken from the census department of the bureau.
 The mutiny at Fortress Monroe still ra- oes and troops, both regulars and volun teers are often insubordinate to authority The guard houses is still packed with the revoiters. Gen. Butler has issued orders that no intoxicating liquors be dispensed to the men,
