NEW ORLEANS, Aug. II, 1861.
Mon CAere C0l0nel:-
The glorious tidings of Manassas
has scarcely died away ere the news
of another victory is echoed in our
ears, to fill as it were our cup of Joy
to o'erAowing. Truly have we cause
to rejoice at our success, for the hand
of kind Providence is plainly visi-
bic at the helm, guiding us on in a
series Of uninterrupted triumphs, that
only those battling for a just cause
know how to appreciate. The news
of our victory in Missouri, though
anticipated was not at first thought
to be one of such gigantic signis-
canoe, as advices confirmed. That
heroic deeds and an ultimate triumph
pared to believe but that such over
whelming clearing out AS took place
at that battle, we We're not exactly
confident, knowing that the minions
of the Beast was much stronger and
better equipped and armed than our
own. The news transcended our eX-
pectations, and created within the
breasts of every true Southerner emo
tions only such as the cause of ho-
ly sense Of right could engender.
Fellow Southorners our destiny is
fxed-let us rejoice united as one
man-litt up our voice in thanks to
Him that giveth US the victory! The
Battle OF Springfield is only inferior
to that of its worthy predecessor,
Manassas, in the number Of troops en-
gagged. In it as well as the others
our enemies were in superior num-
hers which makes the victory still
more acceptable. The following are
