FAINT of Robert S. and Catharine Fisher.

The deceased had been afflicted fer about Is
years past with ulcers in the stomach, and in
testines, from which he suffered severely, until
about six weeks before his death, when he was
taken with the neuralgia and typhoid fever, which
amacidated him very much. His physicians at one
time during his sickness thought he might pos

him fl his very weak eondition-nature grad
ualy gave way to the different diseases, until
finally, congestion Of the lungs appeared to ter

He has been CONSTANT member of the

Der of years. and his christian fortitude seemed

prOpriate sermon on the occasion, followed by
the Rev E. Town, in feeling address to the

ting sun appeared without cloud, and his end
to be peace. V.

GOVERNMENT HORSES. There is a
brisk demand for horses at the present
time, an order having been received in
Philadelphia for several thousand.
From fifty to one hundred are secured
daily in that city, by several dealers
who have the contract, and as fast as
the horses pass inspection, and receive
the brand of the U. S. upon their
shoulders, they are shipped to Wash
ington Considering the price paid
by the Government, quite good lot
of horses have thus far been obtained.

:" may say that we have driven
out some ten thousand troops, strong

MURDER TRIAL The trial OF JEFF
ferds, for the Walton murder, in New
York, was on Thursday concluded by
a verdict of not guilty-the prisoner
making no defence, bat going to the
jury on the testimony Of the prosecu-
ton. On the indictment for the MUIR
der of Matthews, he was released on
his own recognizances. The prisoner
seemed to have no anxiety for the re-
suit until he heard the summing up of
the District Attorny, when his coun-
tenance fell, and he wore a very sol
emn face during the absence of the
jury. 1t is thought very singular en-
all hands that Pascal, the young man
who was with Walton, WI en- he was
shot, and who was acquainted with
Jefferds, could not be able TO say.
whether it was not Jefferds who COM
mitted the murder. He s&ore he no
ticed the man standing by tree be-
fore they passed him, and that after
the shot he pursued the murderer, but
that he can give no description of
him.

AN KRIAL BATTLE. The rebels have
taken hint from our military author
titles in aerial tactics, and have employ
ed balloon to reconnoitre the posi-
tion of the troops The employment
of balloons on both sides may lead to
aerial conflicts, and war may hereaf-
ter be decided by squadrons o. ba-
looms instead Of fleets and armies. We
shall need a code of aerial laws to
regulate the new style of warfare, and
the question for the FIVE powers will
arise, whether aerial privateers will be
legitimate A balloon would be rath-
err dangerous vehicle to carry on a
contest in; a rife ball through the
body would collapse and sink the
ship with all hands lost. Unless
steel-plated balloons can be instituted,
the aerial branch of the service will
not be popular.

Progress of the Contest.

It was of course impossible that in
in so sudden and extensive a move
ment as the loyal people of the United
States were obliged to make to sue
cessfully combat conspiracy to which
desperate traitors had devoted years
of careful preparations, says the Phil
adelphia Press, all errors could be
promptly attended to in the very best
manner. But, in looking at the pre-
sent situation of affairs, and at the
vantage ground which we occupy,
even those who are most disposed to
cavil will, we think, confess that, up
to this period, the great national In
teresis, that were so terribly leopard
lied. have been as well guarded and
advanced as reasonably as could be ex-
pected. No sane man now doubts
that nothing but succession OF lgno-
minious retreats or an utter disband-
ment of heir armies can save the in
gents from terrible defeats. Our Tor
ces have been slowly but steadily ad-
vancing along the whole line of opera
tions, and if they have not pressed for
ward as far into the country occupied
by the enemy as our ardent soldiers
have desired, they have at least made
such gigantic preparations, and shown
so much gallantry and Judgment, that
their complete triumph is only a ques-
ton of time. The patriot who regrets
that dissensions have arisen in our
country, and that the integrity OF the
Republic should be so fercely threat
ened. still finds, in the alacrity with
which a peaceful nation sprang to
arms, and in the majestic uprising OF
twenty millions of freemen, which has
occurred, much to console him for the
mischiefs of the rebellion, and to rem
der him prouder than ever of our coun-
try.
The opposition to the war policy OF
the Administration which has been
manifested by a few Senators and
Representative at Washington is of
but trihing Importance, for on all test
votes it is overruled by overwhelming
maiorities. The fact is clearly appa-
rent that all the men and money need
ed for vigorous prosecution of the
contest viii promptly be supplied ;
and this assurance of itself is an I'M
mistakable indication of the impending
issue, when we consider that the first
loan of the insurgents for SIS, O00, 600
though long advertised for, has not
vet all been taken, and that they can
only fill up their ranks by forcibly
impressing men into their service
With full treasury against an empty
one; large volunteer army against
a comparatively small one, made up,
in great measure Of unwilling re-
crafts, and good cause against a
bad one, Secession is certainly DOOM
ed.

AND HEAVY LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES.


AND HEAVY LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES.
The Fort Scott Democrat, dating
from Fort Scott, states that on the Sd
inst. from ten to thirteen thousand
rebel troops, under Governor Jackson
and General Raines, were encounter
ed by fifteen hundred U. s. troops,
under Colonel Steigel as the latter
were on their march towards Garth
age From this account, and from
the great number of men engaged,
the battle must have been one of the
most serious yet fought. Though so
greatly outnumbered, the q. S. troops
fought splendidiy, their artillery. es-
pecially, being admirably served and
making great havoc among the enemy
and doing excellent service in protect
ing the retreat which the disparity of
numbers and the sound general-ship
of Colonial Stiegel dictated as matter
of tactical necessity. 1t is obvious
that the Colonel endeavored to be-
guile the enemy into following him to
Carthage, where joined by reserve OF
400 and additional reinforcements from
Neosho and Saraco6e he would have
been unable to turn upon them with
fatal effect. The havoc made by his
artillery, however it was so far unfor-
tunate that in part frustrated his plans
Tie loss on both sides was very
great, from 800 to 500 of The Missouri
ians it is estimated were killed or woun-
ded.
A night attact, it is said, was sub
sequently made upon Colonel Stiegel,
who 10 st three pieces of artillery and
a great number of men in killed and
wounded Report that four hundred
of the former and six of the latter,
but We believe that the numbers are
exaggerated.
Colonel Stiegel, when last heard
from, was near Larcoxie awaiting
reinforcements, and we shall doubtless
very soon hear that he has again and
still more successfully engaged the reb
els
Jackson expects Price and McCull-
ough to arrive from Arkansas with
reinforcements, and threatens that
with them he will assume the ofen-
size.
Another account states the United
States loss at from 800 to 1000, and
Price with 10000 men, were only
about twenty miles south of Carthage
on the day of the battle, 5000 more
were expected from Arkansas, and
Col. Stiegel is undoubtedly very hard
pressed, but his troops generally, and
especially his artillery, are excellent.
It is said that he has said the battle
been reinforced by 5000 troops from
Springfield, under Col. Brown.

SINGULAR CASE OF SAVING LIFE. -
At the foot of Jay street, New York,
on Tuesday forenoon, the captain Of a
canal barge was lying on the deck of
his vessel reading a newspaper, when
he heard sudden plunge in the wa
ter. He looked around, and there
beheld his little daughter struggling
on the surface. Her hoops having
been inflated in falling, she was pre-
vented from sinking. Her father at
once sprang into the water, and no
sooner had he got hold of the object
of his effort than he felt something
grasping his legs. This proved to be
the infant child which the little girl
had been carrying about on deck when
she overbalanced and fell. Patrolman
Standish, of the railroad and steam
boat squad, was on hand, and prompt
ly assisted all three in getting ashore
again.
