NEW CoMpASY.-Our fellow-citizen, J. L.

New CoMpASY.--Our fellow-citizen, J. l..
Camp, Esq, of this place, is now making up +
a company of mounted men for Col. Nj. L.
johnson regiment. We learn thatthe com :
pany is already nearly made up, and it is
being filled with the right sort of men. There
will be no difficulty, we apprehend, in get
ting the men. The only trouble will be In
their procuring - suficiency OF arms and
horses; frons the fact that so many have al
ready left Upshur that they have carried a.
way all the beat arms and horses.
We know Of no man under whom wewonld
rather enlist than Col. Camp. He is an nc
complisbed gentleman and scholar, and Que
Of our abest lawyers. In the bloom and
vigor Of young manhood, and of undouhted
bravery, he is last the man for the service.
And, withsl, 50 affable. so kind, and so OBJ
servant Of the rights aud privileges Of 9th
ers, service under him could not fail Of be-
ng pleasant. We hope that those Of our
..citizens who can 60 to the war will come up
aud fill out his company immedietely.-

Esssn Major Ross, just returned from Nc
Cull,chs camp, informs us that the entire
federal army have retrcated, and that
Springfield is now unoccupied by either
Confederate or Federal troops. The coun-
try round that place for miles is almost
barren waste and incapable of supplying
an army with anything OH which to subsist.
The federal troops left Springfield rather
precipitately, though no doubt under orders
and it was supposed by some that they have
gone to take part in the great expedition
down the Mississippi Valley. Lanes COM
mand of Jayhawkers had gone to Kansas /;
Seigles was reported to have gone to Rolla,
and another portion of the army to Jeffer-
son City. Hunter himself it is believed
had gone direct to ST. Louis. The number
of Hunters entire army in and around
Sprin e6cIl was estimated at about 10000
or $4,000.
Gen. Price has gone towards the Missouri
River to hunt up Winter Quarters. Gen.
McCulloch had gone into Winter Quarters
between Fayetteville, Ark, aYd the Missouri
line, his'artillery occupying tile advanced
position at Cross Hollovs.
The camraigR in Missouri is considered
as ended for this season, as the weather will
soon he too severe to admit Of active mill
tary operations. There may, however, and
probably viii be skirmishing on tho Kansas
line, where the Indians and Texans will
keep upa karrassing border warfare during
the winter.
Major Ross coussrns the intelligence of a
fight between the Texans and Indians aHd
though the reports he received
differ somewhat as regards the number en-
gagged In the main, however, our previous
report of the fight is probably correct.

s6-rhe dispatches published to-day from
Missouri, are really encouraging, though
we must say that We have but little hope OF
their reliability. The troops under Price

gained the advantage that is represented in
the dispatches. We hope they are true, but
must wait further intelligence, before we
place reliance in them.
