ASorHER TRlIToR SEET TO FoRT LATAYIrTE.-
Charles Kopperan, the Mississippi Major, whose arrest
in this city on Saturday by Capt. Cameron OF the
Eighteenth Ward Police was noticed in TIE TRIBusE
Of yesterday, was subsequently escorted to Fort
Lafayette by Superintendent Kennedy in accordance
with instructions received from the War Department
He claimed previous TO his arrest to have fought ON
the side Of the rebels at Bul Run, and while intoxi
Gated, warmly extolied his own vaorous deeds. He
now denies all that he then said and attributes his in
discretion to the poor quality of whisky sold in the
Eighteenth Ward. Kopperan came TO this country
from Germany 30 years ago, being then ten years OF
age; he located at the South, married Southern real
estate and became a resident of Carroll County Mis-
sssippi, where he held the high and honorable posi-
tons Of post master and MAJ in the militia. He says
that from the fact Of his having been militia major
arises his present trouble and alleges that all the mill
tary renown attached TO his noble attained
at dress parades end holiday shows. He denies having
held any position in in any manner aided the rebel
army lie arrived in this city but few days SINCE and
has made No. As West Twentyfoursh street his abiding
place. Whether Government prefers more serious
charges than drunken brsvado against him not is at
present unknown.

THE NEWS.

An important battle in Missouri is reported
IN our dispatches, this morning. 1t is said
that Gen Lyon has won great victory over
the rebel troops led by Gov jackson and
Gen Price, and that The rebels have suffered
greatly, Gen Price himself being mortally
wounded. We hope that this report may not
be contradicted by the next dispatches from
Missouri If it is true, the conspirators in
that state will not easily recover their lost pos
ition. This defeat, which will be followed up
by swift and thorough work on the part of
the federal troops, will make it impossible for
the secession treason of Missouri to get sue
cessful military organization,
1t appears by our dispatches that the rebels
have suddenly resolved to send large REIN
ments into western Virginia. 1t is evident
that they are beginning TO have the same fear
that Floyd expressed in his proclamation, and
see great danger threatening them from that
direction If General Mcclellan should act
ually pay his respects 10 that tibet,
line of the Virginia apd Tennessee rail-
road, the rebels in Virginia would be in a bad
predicament. Fear of something like this has
done mere than anything else, perhaps, to
compel them 10 evacuate Harper's Ferry.
There are no indications of great general
ship on the side OF the rebels. They abound
in what may be called "small sized maneuy-
ers, such as preparing little surprises with
masked batteries, and setting little traps in
ambush, but do nothing great, while, on the
other hand they retreat from Harper's Ferry
and must again retreat to Richmond or Lynch
burg. The evidently have great fear of Gen.
SCOTS strategy.
