THE BATTLE or OAK HILLS.

IN addition 10 the official report OF Col Greer
which we publish in this issue Of our paper. we
have been favored, by their friends, with private
letters from Col b.,1r and Capt Winston.
Our limits will no, permit their publication ''f

toned in them are worthy Of notice. Capt
Winston states that there was no guard OF any
kind out on the night preceding the battle. Both
state tina, the Confederate troops were surprised
and surrounded preceding The first limitations OF

The Conkderates seemed to have been in a
valley. lining both sides of Wilson's Creek and
in disorder. They were surrounded by range
Of hills, and upon these the enemy were posted
thoroughly organized and in battle array
Every man for time fought as Col. Greer
states on his own hook" Such was the CON
fusion at first, tina, the Conieierates were unable
to tell friends from foes.
Was not victory, under such circumstances,
most extraordinary No similar instance is on
record where an army thus circumstanced ever
came out Triumphant Yet they not only de-
f,a,ed the enemy, bu, the rout was complete
The road TO Springfield and the surrounding
woods were filed with the bodies ot dead
llessans.
The enemy, when they came upon the field
took possession Of the camp occupied by the
Texans, desiro we'd several of their wagons rifed
their trunks, and carried Of! or destroyed every
thing valuable The Texas Hunters lost all
their clothes except what they had on, and all
their money Col. Greer lost everything but
what he had on his person.
That our army should have been surprised, is
unaccoun,able. Ben McCulloch ia nm old ludiar
fighter and certainly the last men we should
have supposed could have been thrown OF hi'
guard The Ilcssians have discovered one thing
in this fight, aud that is, that with everything
in their favor, they cannot stand before the indom
liable spirit and horoism OF Southern men.

a BoLp ArrgsPr TO BuRs A PRIVATE
REsIpRNcE.--On Tuesday morning last, the
residence of John A. Harris, Esq. Of this place,
was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was
rapidly given, and in lew minutes half the
citizens ofthe town were nj the scene of action.
BY vigorous eyer,ions the fire was quickly
subducd, and before the building had sustained
any material damage. The next subject of In
quiry was us 10 the origin of the FIRE. Upon
investigation. it was found to have been unane,-
tionnby the work Of au inccndary Pieces OF
plank, split Mp fine, were found under the house
piled up on one Of the seepers These pieces.
were ouy partially burned. 1t was evident.
also that other eombustible matter had been
used 10 canse the fire to quickly ignite, such as
the clartcd remnants Of leaves shucks, etc. The
remainder Of the plank was found a, the wood
pile not ten feet distant, and several pieces in
the kitchen. From this circumstance and the
deed being perpeirated in broad daylight, it was
thought that house servant Of Mr., Harris had
committed the deed. But there were other cir
cnmstances and reflections which tend to exon.
erote the house servants Nothing further was
elected. Tbs whole affair is yet mystery. 1t
was certainly daring attempt at arson ard
one against which no ordinary vigilance can
provide.

Weekly Summary.

We give this week the most in
teresting and important facts bear
ing upon the present war that we
have been able to Gull from the un-
certain news of the week. Our
readers must judge for themselves
as to the probable truth or false
hood of what they read in any of
the newspapers. Our own habit
is, to deduct eighty per cent. from
tho wal news proclaimed by the
daily, and most of the weekly jour
nails. When men publish hand
bills, plaster them on their flags,
announcing a "Great Victory" and
continue to display their bills after
they have been positively assured
that no such victory was gained,
they will do anything that may
bring grit to their mill, and will
hold on doing so, so long as the
public will paythem money for their
chaff. We think that Secretary
Cameron, ifhis speeches have been
correctly reported, ought to be SUI
perscded as well as General FIRE.
mont. 1t would appear that the
honorable Secretary has no doubt
resting on his mind that the pres
ont war will end in the abolition of
slavery.
We greatly fear that the act of
taking Mason and Slidell from
board an English ship, as prison
ers, will lead to complications and
trouble between England and A

The above is another gem from

are the spoils. So we heard many
months back, and now, they UNI
blushingly publish to the world,
that they claim to be the %victors,
and, consequently, they infer that
they are entitled to the spoils. So
then, the monies paid out of the
public Taxes to the Editors and
proprietors, are spoils, and the
Democrats Of old Preblo are COM
PEELED to submit, because they arc
fewer in number, to support q

we are told that q secession paper
