The Battle near Springfield.

Tho Geographic news, elsew here in our paper
of the great battle in Missouri on the 10TH al.
though as yet fragmontary and quite incom-
plete, is yet sufficient to satisfy Us that the con-
ilict was Of the most desperate character, and
the loss upon both sides very heavy.
The Rebels had in the immediate vicinity of
the engagement more than 20 900 men, while
our troops numbered only 5000. Notwiths,and-
ing this great disparity Of forces, Gen. Lyon
had been cndeayoring for several days to draw
the enemy into ageneral engagement, but the
fight was avoided until the 10th The Rebels
had their choice of position, having fallen back
as Lyon advanced until they reached point at
which they were willing to risk the fortune of
battle. The engagement was severe and SAN
culinary, more so than the battle at Bull run, in
proportion to the number Of troops engaged
The loss of 800, in killed and wounded in
force Of 5000, proves how desperately our troops
fought, and it also shows that the enemy fought
with courage and fatal precision. The Rebel
loss is beyond question twice ours
According to Gen. Frenont's official dispatch
10 COl. lO"nScnu, We result OI Cne DRUG can
hardly be accepted as victory for our arms
In the earlier part of the engagement our troops
gained unquesti'nably decided advantages, but
the loss Of the gallant Lyon and the great
numerical strength of the enemy made retreat
advisable as prudent, though not a necessary
move. The enemy made no pursuit, which of
tselt is Indicative of the severity Of the blow
they received. Gen. Sicgcl did moi fall back
upon Springfield until the morning of the 18th
where he remained a day, and then fell back
still farther toward Rolla, to prevent the enemy
from getting between him ard the reinforce
ments on the way to him; yet up to that time
the Rebels had not been seen in pursuit.
But whether we should call it in military |
phrase, victory, drawn BATTLE or a reverse
for our army, it unqucstionably proves that our
forces in Missouri are very much more than u
match for twice their number of Rebels, and !
that they will be able to hold that State from
the madness Of rebellion at home, aud the trail !
tors, rufhans, and Indians from without under .
the lead Of such villains az McCullocI, if he
still lives. CT if he be dead-as prisoners say

the fortune Of Missouri.

OUR CLASSIC BATTLE FIELDS the history
of this country we have had three wars and one
rebellion-the present still existing conflict
Many and glorious have been the battles, and
chivalrous the deeds that marked the war of the
revolution, the war of 1912, and the conquest
of Mexico, and it may be curious to contrast the
names by which the battles of these three epochs
are known, with the names of the principal con-
hicts in the present war. The Gu hony of the
former contrasts strongly with the I'm pleasant
sound of the latter. In the revolution we had
such battles as those of Lexington, Yorktown
and Saratoga. In 1872 we read of the contests
at Chippewa. Queenstown, Bladensburg and
New Orleans. In the Mexican war the liquid
Spanish tongue furnishes such names as Moline
del Key, Buena Vista, Chepultepec, Cheru busco
and Reseca dc la Palma as the scenes of our
great battles. But in the present war We can
not soar any higher in the realms Of euphony
than Bull Run, Big Bethel, Scary Creek, Dug
Spring, Hoke Run, Bull Town and Pig Point
