Ut present. y.
The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1861-06-27
A EsE ETElES.

We select the following items Of news.
There are SO many rumors, that it is iol
possible to guess which is true. People
will have to Judge which arc the most
probable. Gen. Scott is marching his
troops farther South every day and when
battle does come it will no doubt be a
bloody one. Perfect confidence is rcpos-
cd. 10 him.
Ezci,ipg intelligence comes from His,
sourl. Gen. Lyon on Monday attacked
the State troops near Bonneville and de,
feated them; their loss is represented to
be 800 killed and 600 wounded, while
the casualties on the side of the Nation,
al troops amounted to only II. Gen.
Price was mortally wounded. Other
skirmiShcs in Missouri are reported. A
body of our cavalry were on Monday eve,
ming engaged with force of State troops
near independence; four of the latter
we're killed, including Col. Holloway. On
sRother day about 80 Secessionists at
iackeG a small number Of National troops
near St. Charles, but were repulsed. Two
Of our men were mortally wounded.
We elearn that Montgomery and his men
are IN Kansas on the Missouri border,
armed aad ready to attack Gov Jackson
10 case he moves towards Kansas City.
At Bonneville, 1900 State troops were
reported, and it was said that l 600 were
an the opposite side of the river, where
artillery commanded the stream. These
were probably engaged in the battle re-
ferred to above. q letter from St. Louis,
published this morning, gives tho nun
bers Of the troops in Missouri.
Gov. Hicks sent another tart message
10 the Legislature day, in response to
an order Of the House, asking if certain
arms shipped by the Adjutant- G oneral to
a Maryland military company some time
since, and seized by Gen Butler, was by
bis knowledge and consent.

Long live the 76 ers /!
Winfield Scott has been in arms for
more than half century. During all
that time, as youth, man, and veteran,
when in command Of any description OF
force, he has ncUer rctrcdted one foot.
Not that he is any braver than officers
who have made nearly as many retreats
as advances, but that he cannot be iaduc-
ed to naOre unt1 lie as certain Of his aGil
ity to maintain his position.

weeks ago remarked that Gen. Scott is
proyerbially slow commander. He is
always unpopular during his campaigns.

he has won-as he always has done-that
the wisdom of his action is understood,
and he becomes popular"
