ADDITIONAL TO srR1NGF1ELD BATTLE.

The enemys camp extended along Will
sons Creek about three miles, enclosed by
high ground on each side, on which the
greater part of the battle was fought. IG
does not appear from this account that the
rebels were driven back any considerable
distance, but their charges were all repuls-
ed, and they burned large amount of camp
equipage and baggage, to prevent its cap
ture by our troops. The enemy had TWEEN
ty-one pieces of artillery and very large
body OF cavalry. Gen. Sigel attacked the
enemy from the Southeast as soon as he
heard the firing from Gen. Lyons command,
and Grove them back half a mile, taking
possession of their camp, which extended
westward to the Fayetteville road. Here a
terrible fire was poured into his ranks by a
regiment which he permitted to advance
within a few PAGES of him, supposing it to
be the Iowa first. His men scattered con-
siderably, and Col. Solomon's could not be
rallied. SigeI lost FIVE of his guns, the 9TH
er being brought away by Capt. Flagg, who
compelled bis prisoners to drag it off the
field. Our troops captured about 400 hor-
ses- Our loss is about 200 killed and from
600 to 700 wounded, while the loss of the
enemy cannot possibly be less than double
our own, their forces having moved in large
bodies, and our artillery playing upon them
with terrible effect. Lieut.. Colonel Brand,
who commanded rebel force at Boonville,
and has since been acting as an aid to Gen.
Price, was taken prisoner.
Gen Lyons body has been embalmed for
conveyance to his friends in Connecticut.

Truth stranger than Friction.

The following account of a woman's ad-
ventures, taken from the police reports Of
the Chicago Times, proves that tha incidenst
of real life ara oftentimes more startling and
extraordinary than the widest dreams Of
romance.
Harriet Colburu was charged with disor-
derby conduct. The particular oifense was
quarreling with negro, with whom she
lived. There was q history attached to her
case-one of those histories of real life
which occasionally come to light in the Po-
lice Court, and almost Surpass belief in
their strange details. Twelve years ago she
was the cherished daughter of a Southern
planter at Nashville, Tennessee. Her moth
or as a Creole, but the lawful wife of her
father At thirteen she ran away from her
home with the son of a New York merchant,
named Clifford, and was married to him.
Within a year she was q mother and
widow, her husband having died in Califor-
MIA, whittier she had accompanied him.
She came home and returned to her fathers
house, where she was kindly received. She
remained there year or two, and during
her stay assisted four of her fathers slaves
to escape, through sympathy with their de-
sire for freedom. She married again with
to be a drunkard, and she obtained a di-
vorce from him. She married a third time,
still with the consent and advice of her
father, and was again deceived. Her last
husband, whose name she now bears, prov
ed her ruin. He was a Mississippi gambler,
and for twelve months she accompanied
him up and down the river, dressed in boys
clothes, and passing for his brother.
She finally left him, driven away by
constant abuse, and threw herself upon
the world for support Her first effort was
as brakeman, in which capacity she served
on the Chicago aud Burlington Railroad for
three months This was six weeks ago.
From that she drifted into the vortex of
sin, which every unprotected woman finds
in large city sooner or later. She went
down hill until the lowest round of the
ladder was reached She met, accidentally
with one of the slaves whom she had aided
to escape years BEFORE and has lived with
him ever since in unlawful connection.
This negro is her fathers ovH son By slave
woman, and by natural ties is her brother
There is no law, however, which sanctions
that relationship.
She vas intelligent, and showed by her
conversation that she had seen better days.
Traces of former good looks were visible,
and a strong, robust frame proved that dis
sipation had as yet produced but little effect
: upon her body, but her mind was-wh hat
the minds of all fallen women area wreck
and ruin. At the early age of twenty
one she is a shameless woman, which is
the lowest of Gods creatures. She was
sent to Bridewell for twenty days. She
stormed little, but the necessity was in
exorable, and she went up as brazen as any
of them.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. ia fleet of ten steam
ers, which has been laid up l 5 miles below
here for some time past, was brought here
to-day, by order of Gen. Fremont, to pre-
vent the possibility of their being taken by
secessionists.
Gen. Pope has about completed the ap-
pointment of the committees of safety in the
counties of his department, according to spe-
cial orders already telegraphed. Since the
adoption of this plan for the preservation of
property, acts of violence have materially
diminished, and it is believed in a short
time will entirely cease.
1t is stated that some 1000 troops are
approaching Ironton from the South. The
federal troops in that region are posted at
Pilot Knob, Ironton, and Arcadia, three
small villages which lie two miles apart in
narrow valley, the entrance to which can
easily be defended by artillery, and flank
movement is not apprehended, in conse-
quence of the impossible condition of the
roads around the valley.
Colonel Blair arrived here to-day.

Last Nights Dispatches

NEW YORK, Aug. l5.-It is said Judge
Garrison made q formal application to Gen.
Duryea to ascertain what force could be OBJ
tanned in Kings county to execute a writ
Of habeas corpus in the case of the Balti-
more Police Commissioners. Duryea re-
piled, about l400 men, but the county was
in possession of no artillery sufficiently
powerful to make any impression on the
walls of Fort Lafayette; it will require be-
tween 5000 and 10000 men to take them.
