at Pennington, which are now worked more

RoLLA, Mo-, Oct. 14-The report brought
here day or two ago that battle had taken
place on the 9th ult., between q body of Kan
sas troops under Montgomery and Jennison, and
the advance guard of McCulloch's army and
some State Guards under Judge Cheneaut, Ii
confirmed by parties just arrived from Spring
field. The battle commenced near Shanghai
in Barton county, and the rebels were driven
back with considerable loss, and pursued some
forty miles; Montgomery then fell back on
Greenfield. Great alarm was felt in Springfield
least Montgomery should attack that place, and
the troops there bad rested on their arms sever
al nights. Montgomery is said to have had
three thousand men, and the rebels four thous-
aud.
This statement can hardly be relied upon, as
we have had no previous advices that such a
force of Kansas troops was in that vicinity.
A band Of three hundred marauding rebels en-
camped at Wilson's mill, on Bryant's fork of
White river, in Douglas county, were attacked
some days since by a body of Home Guards,
and fifteen of them killed and twenty wounded.
1t is reported here that the 18th Illinois Reg
iment, under Gen. Wyman, had surprised and
taken Lebanon, In Lacelle county, with 1.-THE
stores and provisions OF the rebels; but this
needs confirmation.

SYRACUSE, Mo-, Oct. IA Secretary Cameron,
accompanied by Adjutant-General Thomas,
spent Saturday night at Jefferson, and arrived
in Upton about nine o'clock, yesterday morn
ing. Alter breakfasting in camp. they rode
over to this place, ak miles, on horseback, ac-
companied by Gen. Fremont and staff. Upon
it's arrival here, the party called upon General
McKinstry, and after spending an half hour
with him, proceeded in company with him, his
staff, and several other gentlemen, to review
General McKinstry's division, which is encamp
ed here, At the close of the review, Secretary
Cameron made few well-timed remarks 60
the troops, expressing the highest qualification
at the condition In which he found them, and
the utmost confidence that in the hands of such
men the honor and success of our country's
arms were safe. Loud cheers were given for
Generals Cameron, Fremont and McKinstry,
after which Gen. Cameron and his party, accom-.
panied by Gen. Fremont and staff, went by rail
to Upton, where they reviewed General
Asboth's division, which was also in excellent
condition, and then they went on by special
train to ST. Louie.
1t is understood Gen. Cameron came hero at
the request of the President, to examine the
condition Of affairs in this Department, and
that he processes himself highly gatifed with
the condition Of Fremont's army.
Col. Merrill's cavalry have gone down the
Ossge on scouting expedition.
Generals McKinstry and Stanley are to re-
main here, and not 60 east as reported,
Gen. Fremont is on the eve of moving, but
Ia greatly embarrassed for want of transporta.

have been foraging sixty miles south Of Seda'

my. My informant, q citizen OF this county
deserted and is here to claim the amnesty Of
fered to rebels who lay down their arms. sr
He left Price on Wednesday short distance
south of Johnstown, in Bates county, moving
southwark. He represents that great dissatis
| faction exists In Prices army. Desertions oc
cur every day, and If assurances could be con-
veyed to them that they would not be harshly
dealt with, he thinks that the greater part Of
the State Guard would lay down their arms and
return to their homes. They are tired OF the
war, and are only prevented from deserting In
large bodies by the assurances of their officers
that II caught they will be hurg as traitors, and
| by the stories Of horrible Union outrages which
are industriously circulated among them. The
most exaggerated accounts of atrocities com
mitted BY our army, the destruction Of property
| the burning of towns, and ravishment Of women
arc circulated among them.
Eight or ten other citizens of his county, VIII,
belonged to his company, deserted along will
him. and are ready 70 give themselves up.
