Columbia arrived here this morning with
Havana dates of the 10th inst.
The British Mail steamer Solent arrived
from st. Thomas on the 9TH, and had gone
into dock for repairs. Two vessels arrived
at Havana from New Orleans after running
the blockade there. A British schooner had
arrived at Havana from Newberne, North
Carolina, with rice and naval stores. YES
sells under the flag of the Confederate States
were admitted into the ports of Cuba to dis
charge and receive cargoes. under the same
privileges as vessels of all civilized nations,
without the recognition OF their nationality.
The New York Posts special says the
skirmish which took place yesterday near
Balls Cross Roads, in Virginia, was not a
serious affair. The accounts of it have been
greatly exaggerated.
Mr.. Sickles yesterday arrested two rebel
officers at a point twenty miles down the
Potomac. The militia of the District of
Columbia is preparing for active service. A
full regiment is now organized, and will soon
be sworn in.
The Baltimore South, the rabid Secession
journal whose editor was arrested yesterday,
has stopped publication. The Baltimore
Exchange the leading Secession paper in
that city, is more violent than ever this
morning; its principal editor was arrested.
Prominent citizens of Baltimore are now in
this city, and declare that the effect of the
arrests will be salutary.
The Secession fever in Baltimore and
MARYLAND is likely to be checked by such
summary proceedings as those which the
Government felt compelled to adopt.
NEW YORK, September l4.-The Governor
to day approved and confirmed the order of
the War Department, authorizing General
Scyaggs to raise and organize brigade of
four regiments.

first regiment. Active measures will at once
be taken to bring this body, to be called the
Eagle Brigade, into the field. The Fifth

The New York Posts dispatch at ten
o'clock this morning says that the rebels
moved in force to Balls Cross Roads, burn
ing the house there used by our pickets, who
fell back, unable to resist the overwhelming
numbers. Four of our pickets were cap
tured there, when few discharges of mus
kerry on each side ensued, in which two of
the Massachusetts Ninth were wounded.
NEW YORK, September 14-One hundred
guns are now being fired in the Park, in

ST. LOUIS, September 14.-Advices from
Northwest Missouri state that since the
withdrawal of the Federal troops from St.
Joseph, the Secessionists of that region are
arming again. Some two thousand are con-
centrated in Andrew County, under Major
| Potter, and about the same number oi
| Unionists, composed of Missourians and
Iowans, under Colonels Crsner and An.
drews, are stationed in the same region, and
both are preparing for battle, which is
| shortly expected.
Tom Harris, with one thousand men
crossed Missouri River at Arrow Rock, on
Tuesday last, bound for Prices army.
Six hundred Secessionists, under Colonel
Hull, were marching toward Glasgow, on
Wednesday, to cross the river and join Mar
tin Green.

County, was broken up by the Federals, on
Sunday last, and il is reported three hun
dred rebels were captured.
Another rebel camp was broken up al
Spencerburg, Pike County, on Monday, and
sixteen prisoners taken.
HANNIBAL, No. September l2.-The fol-
lowing appears in the Messenger of this
| morning:
'All we can hear confirms previous reports
| that the Secessionists have full possession oi
st. Joseph, and are doing pretty much a:
they please in that city. 1t is represented
that they have taken control of the munich
pal affairs of the corporation, preventing
egress and ingress Of both mails and travel
eTs. They have also levied heavy coutribu
tions on several stores, taking just what they
want.
''The steamer Omaha has been seized AM
appropriated to their purposes, and we lear
that an effort was made to send the mail ou
by hand car, but it was intercepted an
taken back, hence a complete blockade ex
lists, which accounts for our getting no maj
matter"
The straight-out Union men have crosse
the river to Elwood for safety, and took th
. ferry boat with them.
At Iatsn and at Weston, it is said th
rebels permit no one to 60 into the town {
out without passes.
From all we can learn, the Union men an
their property in st. Joseph and the su
| rounding country are completely at IL
) mercy of the rebels, and demand the imm
diate interposition of Federal arms to say
q | them from annihilation.
