Rumors were riffs in town yesterday al
,ernoon Of an engagement between the
forces under Gen. Lyon and the rebel
forces, at Springfield. From Mr.: g. e.
Clark, the correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune, who came in last evening on the
down train from Rolla, we obtained the
following particulars, up to Saturday eve
ming. The stage left Springfield Sunday
morning. and was SO hours in reaching
Rolla. The particulars of the fight were
brought in by passengers, and We're also
confirmed by letters to which Mr.. Clark
obtained access.
Gen; Lyon left his camp near Spring
field on Thursday, in pursuit of the reb
els, who fed before him. That evening
Lyon encamped in the vicinity of Tyrel
creek. On Friday he advanced to Dug
Spring, and obtained intelligence OF the
enemy. Dug Spring is about l9 miles
southwest from Springfield. A fight
took place on Friday, between the hours
Of four and six P. NJ. A party of Lyons
Cavalry, consisting of 81 men. were eros
sing neck of high land, partially enclo-
sed on the east by valley, and when de-
scendiue the hill were eutangled amid a
large force Of the enemy's infantry, vari'
ously estimated at from two to four thou

TALK ON CHANGE.


1t was very quiet on the flags yesterday. The
gatherings here and there were limited. The sum
mer solstce is at hand, and the sun came down
strong and powerful, but its rays were not stronger
| than we have before experienced. However, the
| heat does not interrupt business. There few
| transactions made daily. There was some talk
! that deficiency in cotton bagging would follow
the embargo trade with Kentucky that there
will be greatfang off in the receipts of bagging
and bale rope from Kentucky. This does not mat
ter much; if the manufacturers of bagging and
rope in Kentucky are willing to submit to the
tyranny and usurpations of Lincoln, Seward & Co.,
the South will find other sources for baling cotton
For instance, suppose half dozen British vessels
load at Greenock with bagging for New Orleans
and other Southern markets, and sail under con-
voy Of British squadron, We think that the
Brooklyn and Powhatan, of the mouths of the Mis-
sissippi, would not prevent such vessels from en-
tering the Mississippi, because the blockade is not
efficient The talk is, that holders of bagging in
tend to make it scarce. The further talk is that
planters should hold back and buy sparingly that
before the next cotton crop is picked there will be
good supply of bagging. As for rope, it is use
less to talk about it, because iron is a good sub
stitute, and hoops can be furnished in abundance
at a less price than rope
There was some talk and rather amusing it was
about some quondam residents of our good city
who amassed some thousands of this worlds goods,
and removed to the North many years since TO
spend their rentals. These parties after years of
absence, turn up on our flags at this late period of
the season, saying that they came back to reside
with us, and that they are all Southerners. But
talking brings out the real state of the question
These parties (our old quondam citzens) have re-
turned merely to collect the rents knowing that
ander the rules Of war their rents could not be re-
mitted 10 them; and further, their property here
might be contscated There is no probability of
contscation, because the Southern Coufederacv
does not make war on local property. Then again.
there are other large property-hoders, say our old
friend Dr.. Morgan, whose rentals are large. but
hauI5 of, as the phrase is-that taxes absorb all
the income Of his valuable corner stores. We do
not coincide with these expressions Ii the Doc.
tors rentals in New York were absorbed by taxes
1t would come nearer the mark because real estate
in that city has deprecated fully so act since the
1st of January, 1861 aud if the war continues one
year, all the uppertendom avenues Blocker street
and Broadway, will so to the wall.

In these times of trouble when the passions and
the worst as well as the best qualities Of cur nature
are exhibited, we shall hear of many hair breadth
escapes bordering on the marvellous. Such a case
has Just come to our knowledge. Major w W
Dennson, South CarOnian who arrived in this citv
a lew days ago with his family, was Indian agent
IN Nebraska under Mr. Buchanans Administration,
The Republicans in that Territory were largely in
q maJority, and he gave some offence by running as
the Brecklnrdge candidate for delegate to Con,
gresS. But when the news arrived Of the secession
OF South Carolina, he became marked man for the
revenge OF the Republicans. And when the people
OF Nebraska City heard with all the eXaggera ton
that distance lends to rumor, that the Southern
states would prevent Lincoln being inaueurated in
Washington, they became furious. A mob entered
bis house, tore him from his ianily-al females
"le ana Two daughters, put a rope around his
neck and sWore they would hang him. After hay-
ing treated him with great indignity, and nearly
Ghoking MIN to death with the rope they were in
duGed ny some OF the better sort to spare his life
for few days, till the news came from WASHINGTON
as to the prevention of Lincoln's Inauguration,
lhey Kept him IN the meantime a close prisoner
BeIeVlng they would hang him, and having already
mad taste OF the terrible rope he made his escape
through the aid Of friends who visited him hv
changing his clothes and otherwise Disgusting him
sen. After they discovered his escape they pursued

passing through many perils. His family, whom

Present and Prospective Proportions Of
the War.

The New York journal of Commerce has an ar
tcle on this subject, in which it endeavors to cor
rect the absurd idea prevalent in the North. " Ia
send swarm of soldiers sufficiently numerous tn
| oyerrun the seeded States in a brief space n
time, and thus close the war in one brilliant cam,
paign." 1t concludes thus:
Upon no basis, either of precedent Or of existing
!acts can we see hope of anything less than A nr1
l0nged and disastrous war, if the military arm
alone IS to be relied upon to settle our difficulties
1t IS easy to say that the South must be redncn r.
ohedence-that rebellion must be crushed auf

ed without delay If the States in rebellion wnnId
down at the bidding of the Federal Government
and would stay quiet after yielding to a sDnnrior
