A number of the cizens of Vermont

that Col. Montgomery with a Federal

arrived here on last evening and re-
port that they burnt Coplinger &

General VIM. III. Carroll arrived
from East Tennessee on day before

purpose of raising brigade Of volun-

he left in camp at Germantown, and

that the so called Unionists, though
preserving their old party prejudices
to a great extent, have etfectually ac-
commodated all radical differences.

but it has been stated, and upon
good authority, to be between 4O,-

nection with the refusing to receive
any eastern bound freight, produced
considerable excitement in CONNER

bring forth an almost entire suspen-

with no prospect Of shipping for the

We are just in receipt of the most
gratifying intelligence of the success
of our armies in the north and west
of this State. What else could we
expect The cause of truth Justice
and civil liberties must prevail.
Our informant, Mr.. Fureman, of
Marshall, Saline county. whose state
ments we are assured, and fully be-
lieve to be entirely reliable, says,
Gen. Price sent Messenger to Mar

ming the citizens of that place that
an unconditional surrender was the
only alternative for the Lincoln for

emy shielded himself in, and about
the college building-that was soon
prostrated. Then he fed to his en-
trenchments. On Saturday or Sun
day, our informant learned the Lin
coin army consisting of about 5000
men unconditionally surrendered. He
believes his information entirely re-
liable. OF its truth we have no
doubt. Prices loss about Is killed

At last accounts about $50 Lincoln
men were strongly entrenched at
Boonville. About 200 Southern men
under Capt. Brown, without artille-
ry, made 2 or Intellectual efforts to
take them. They were then rein
forced by about 1000 of Green's men,
with some artillery. They then sur
rounded the enemy intending to re-
new the attack last Saturday NOR

city has been taken. Our friends,
we learn, have possession also of
Columbia, Palmyra and Hannibal.
Green has about 900 mon; Harris
has large force; Doniphan has
5000 and Reed is in the field. In
fact almost the entire northwest is

A Sensation story.

We have heard 1t stated that gentle
man Of this city, who has brother IN
the army Of the Potomac, has recently
received letter from his brother, stat
ing that, while d gging SINE en'rench-
ments on the Virginia side, telegraph
wire was found buried IN the ground,
making perfect Geographic oommnni-
cation between Alexandra and Rlcb-
mond. over which information has con-
s,an,ly been transmitted to the rebels.
1t is even SAID that piece OF the cable
was incosed in the letter that II is a
fine copper wire inclosed In coating 81
gutta percha, and has probably been
laid down tor a year or so previous 10
the outbreak of the rebellion, with
view to the present state Of affairs. we
have not vet seen the gentleman to
whom the letter is said to have been
addressed, and are disposed to regard
| the whole AS a sensation story OF the
first magnitude ohould It, however,
prOye TO be true, which is very possible,
| it will account for the accurate and
speedy Information which bias been
transmitted to the rebels OF all our i'm
portant movements, and ought to result
| in bringing a good many necks to the
hangman's halter.-SprinQfeld Journal.

passing through this place almost every

heavy emigration from the East to the
West tins season. Many make Fort
Dodge the base Of operations and send
ont rcconn offering parties to various
localities, not exactly IN search OF rebels
but Of homes. Some move on to Dako

have no doubt but that Northern lowe
