ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2l.-Two fights occurred
at Blue Mills Landing on the 18th inst. The
first was between 500 of the third Iowa regi-
ment, with one piece of artillery, under Lieut.
Col Scott, and about 400 rebels. After des-
perate struggle of an hours duration, in which
Scott lost one hundred and twenty killed and
wounded, and all his horses, he returned slow
ly half a mile, drawing his cannon by hands.
He subsequently took position with his how.
itzer on an eminence, and waited for the
enemy to renew the attack, but the rebels did
not pursue.
Not long afterwards, Col Smiths command,
with four pieces of artillery, approached Blue
Mills by another route, and engaged and rout

entrenched at thicket, impossible except by
narrow road Iurther attack was postponed
until the next morning.
Early the following day an advance was
made by the combined forces, but on arriving
at Blue Mills they found the enemy had
crossed the river before day light, taking the
road to Lexington. The third Iowa re giment
suffered considerably; several OF its officers
were among the wounded. The total number
known to be killed is five, while the wounded
number eightyfOur, and the missing six

kel. In addition 10 the loss OF the third
Iowa regiment, there were six home guards
and one artileryman killed, and about ten
wounded. Four of these home guards were

Removal.

EDS. LEADER Pardon this intrusion
at an exciting time and allow me to make
one complaint.
The other day I stepped into the new
store of Cobb & Co., to me CObb's no lOn-
ger. The place may please some people,
but there is a GOODNESS about the whole sf-
fair that quite ~disappOints me. %Thst old
familiar air is gone. There is q stiff gilt
ter OfpsInt and gliding too harsh for hum
bic patrons. I wish somebody could per-
suade Messrs. Cobb s. Co. to r~e-trsnsplant
their stock Of goods back to the old spot.
aIf there is one thing 1 like more than
another It is a bookstore In a dingy place.
The subdued light seems to throw a
charm around the volumes, and one may
read and linger with immunity.
Instead of the accommodating ~''COuntsr,
one must now promenade seversl yards
from the door to the aristOcratic semi-cir-
cular table; and the books are 90 nicely
arranged, the shelves so clean, the drawers
50 nicely varniehed, and the ho0r 80 very
neat, that one feels a restraint and be-
walls the loss Of the dear cOngeniat spot.
The light is too glaring, the situation too
grand. fear my triaing Investments viii
have to be made elsewhere in future. Tbs
spell must not be broken. l win retain the
old memory, and still look with pleasant
rscollectiOus on the deserted little store and
regret that an i'll wind bore lie occupants
to more fashionable quarters.
Very respectfully yours,
aHrmnnrn

Lieut.. Phelps u >. NJ
There are some facts in connection with
this officer which will not be uninteresting
to N readers. Lieut. S. L. Phelps, . ma
tive Of Geauga county in this Stale, is one
Of The best officers and most accomplished
engineers in the naval service. Having
received his education ct the Naval School
at Annapolis, and graduated with high
bonors, he was Immediately put in posi-
lions Of trust and responsibility, and the
faithfulness with which he discharged
these responsibilities, has made for him q
reputation most enyiable. He has been In
service some twenty years, and had COM
mand of one Of the vessels Of the feet
engaged In the bombarding Of Vera Cruz,
and for his valuable services at that time,
recsived the commendation of his superior
officers. The records Of the expedition to
the China seas, under his command, sever
al years since, are now matters Of history,
and are considered Of great value. He wal
stationed for three years at Valparaiso,
Chilli. in connection with Lieut.. ellis Nau-
teal Expedition, and has for several years
been connected with the Coast Survey,
under Lieut.. Maury. Although Lieut.
Phelps has been comparatively unknown
to the public, nevertheless his reputation as
q superior officer in the Navy, has brought
him out at this time.
When Washington was threatened by the
rebel forces from Virginia, the services Of
a competent man were required, and Gen.
Mansfield, being acquainted with the skill
and knowledge of Lieut. Phelps, in erect
ing batteries, constructing bridges, etc,
svailed himself Of his services and put him
in command of the enterprise. Within a
few weeks past We learn, there has been
a large number of 64-pOunders mounted in
and about Washington, and we are inform
ed BY him that every approach to the city
is thoroughly fortified, and can be success
fully defended against any force that oan
be brought against it.
Lieut.. Phelps, nov on bis way to Cincin-
natl, will be the second officer in command
Of the anticipated Naval Expedition down
the Mississippi. We learn that two iron
eased steamers will be immediately built
to accompany 3 feet down the river that
q sufficient land force will move in concert
With the heet TO take and hold all the points
along the Mississippi to New Orleans.
Taking into account the fact that the
Marine District Of New Orleans has been
extended up the Mississippi to Cairo, and
the still further fact, that the new COliec-
tor, VIM. D. Gallagher, has been ordered to
Cairo, in connection with the discharge Of
his duties, We have no doubt but that sc'
tive measures are on foot for the immedi'
ate possession, by the Federal Government
of oil the property now In the hands Of the
rebel forces from Cairo to New Orleans.
