act of attacking him with guns planted under
its shelter showed that they were guilty of a
mean subterfuge, and that the hospital was
not there.
A spy, who has Just returned to our PotO-
mac camps from Richmond, says that the most
intense excitement exists, not only at that
place, but through the entire South, by reason
of our naval expeditions. The Rebel troops
from the threatened States declare that they
will 90 home, and large numbers of them have

enough should be sent South not only to defend
their homes, but to drive the Z" rascally Yam

latter county. Prices intention is to march
into Kansas. and the line was taken up on
the 26th ult. He ordered McCulloch to follow
him. This order the latter disregarded, and
he is now going to Arkansas.
Gen. Price wants $1,000 men. He says so.
He writes long and most urgent proclama-

follows: That the crew sailing about in
boats The public will take all reports about
the Sumter with due allowance for errors Of
