ItemsfrOm the Nebraska Regiment.

We regret to learn that there are any
in the Nebraska Regiment against whom
a charge of treason could be made. tits
said three p~rivates have been arrested on
charge of treason. We hope, for the
credit of the Territory, they are not resi-
dents of Nebraska. The names are not
given, or the company to which they be-
long.
One of the members of the Nebraska
Regiment was married at Syracuse,
Mo, and died the third day after.
Capt. .. w. PADDOCK, of the Nebraska
Regiment, played a very shrewd game
on the Rebels near Syracuse. 1t was as
c%ertained that a large lot of mules, hor-
ses and cattle were being gathered up to
be sent off to Prices army. "PAD"
went out, passed himself off as a "sesesh"
officer. and thus gained all the informa-
ton he desired in regard to the ''stock; -
its whereabouts, &c. He then returned
to camp, and with a squad of the she
braska Bows" proceeded to "correll" the
aforementioned "animules," and brought
them into camp. Well done, and all
regular" that was. Some folks, how
ever, would say it was all wrong "to take
the property of citizens"

IMPORTANT FROM PILOT KNOB.
jeff. Thompson with 5000 Rebels
Attacks Col. Mills with 500
FedeTals, % miles from
Pilot Knob.
THE EEDERALS ROUTED AND
RETEATENG.
LOSS HEAVY ON BOTH SIDES,
ALARM AT PILOT KNOB.
AN ATTACK INEVITABLE.
REINFORCEMENT SENT DOWN.

Information Of a reliable character
reached this city last night to the effect
that yesterday a large body of rebels,
numbering about 5000 men, in command
of Jeff. Thompson, advanced upon a fed
eral detachment of 500 troops under Col.
at a distance of about twenty-three miles
from I%ronton, and gave them battle.
A desperate conflict ensued, resulting
in the loss of many killed and wounded
on both sides.
The FederaIs o~verpowered by num-
bers, had at last accounts, fallen back a
distance of eight miles, leaving a guam
tity of baggage in the hands of the ene-
my, and were still retreating towards
Pilot Knob.
At Pilot Knob considerable alarm ex-
listed, and Col. Carlin was making every
preparation for the impending struggle at
that point.
An attack was though to be mevitale
last night, but will not probably take place
until to-day.
The Wisconsin regiment which left
here on Wednesday, arrived safely at
IrOnton yesterday. A battery of the
First Missouri Light Artillery, under
command of Major SChofeld, started
from this city yesterday, and will proba-
bly, reach Pilot Know this morning.
The rebels had not destroyed any
more of the bridges.
The Big River bridge is beiug rapidly
rebuilt.
The news came TO US in a manner
which leaves no doubt of its general cor
RICHNESS. We have had no information
of so large a body of federal troops being
thrown out, as is stated in this report,
towards the supposed locality of Jeff.
Thompson and his band and we think
in that respect there may be some exag-
GRAFTON.
The arrival of the Eighth Wisconsin,
will make the force at the Knob a little
over three thousand. They have the
advantage Of some heavy guns and strong
position; but on the other hand, the
troops, it will be remembered, are fresh,
and not we'll disciplined. If Mai. Scho-
field and his battery are permitted to pass
through without detention, we shall RELY
greatly upon the assistance which he will
be able to render the officer in command,
Col. Carlin.

Tennessee %JayhaWking.

The rebel Gen. Zollicofer of Tennessee
recently invaded a portion of Kentucky
his army committing the most hellish
jayhawking. Will j~ayhawking shriekers
read the following in regard to the mat
ter, from the Frankfort (Ky.) Common
weath, and answer whether Lane, and
other so-called western jayhawkers are
not completely laid in the shade:
In B~arbourville they took possession of
the residence of G.. NJ. Adams, tore up
his carpets, destroyed his furniture, con-
verted his house into a culinary estab-
lishment, and ignoring the garb suited to
their sex, arrayed themselves in the silk
dresses of his daughters, and so habited
performed the usual duties of cooks,
besmearing the silks with the grease of
the frying pans, and cutting up such fan
tastic tricks as would shame a Vandal,
and lead the gentle sex to believe that all
chivalry and rue manhood had departed
from the land.
The finest private residence in Barbour
vile have been converted into stables for
the horses of this ihIeving band, and the
most wanton destruction of property has
marked the progress of these invaders.
In Laurel they visited the farm of Jacob
Hackney, tore down his house, destroyed
his fences, made his place a scene of
desolation, depriving him of his winter
clothing, and utterly ruined this poor,
honest and unoffending man.
The same treatment was bestowed upon
Thomas Moore, with the exception, per-
haps, that they tore his childrens clothing
into shreds In the presence of his family.
The leading citizens have been compelled
to ay from home in order TO save them
selves and their loved ones from personal
outrage. Our informant saw large num-
bers of these refugees have been com
PEELED to leave all and 60 TO a place of
safety. Some who did not get away in
time were treated with great indigEity.
In one case a principal officer was was
obliged to place a guard aroung a lady
to preserve her inviolate from the hend-
ish designs Of the grandest scoundrels
the world has ever seen. These men,
who appropriately call themselves Hell
Cats" are said to be %pardOned thieves
and m%urderers from the Nashville peni-
tertiary, and for compensation they Sup
ulate only for the privilege of invading,
rObbing and ~plundering the people Of

ENTHUSIASM OF THE TROOPS
The Irish Brigade want a Chap
lain.

A messenger arrived from Fremont's
headquarters. at Warsaw last evening,
having ridden all night, and reaching
Syracuse yesterday morning, with dis
patches from Fremont to General Nc
Kinstry.
1t is reported that Price had made a
stand in Cedar county, twenty-five miles
from Osceola, with 10000 well armed
and drilled Confederate troops, and a
large force of irregular militia.
On the arrival of Fremont at Warsaw,
the opposite bank of the Usage was
lined with the horsemen of the enemy
These were dispersed by a few rounds Of
canister. Fremont had begun prepare
tons to lay a pontoon bridge when the
messenger left. and 1t was supposed his
forces would be over the river on Wed
nesday night or yesterday morning.
Fremont was determined to push on with
the utmost vigor, and would probably
soon come up with the enemy and force
them to fight.
The dispatches 10 McKinstry were
supposed TO urge him and Hunter to fol-
low the enemy without the slightest un-
necessary delay, Both Of these Generals
