oeraEs special dispahe next year, a good
OTTERyILLE, MoA / learned
yesterday that smot-Dt taken by
Gen. Pope last gT QOrious Col.
MagOifin, Of Georgetown -dIt two weeks
ago, Col Magofin sent wo>-othe commanding
officer that his wiIe was dangerously i'll, and
begged 10 be permitted to see her ere size died.
He was informed that If he would give his parole
as a prisoner of war, his request would be grant
ed. He did so, and went home, and the next
that was heard of him was that he commanded
the whole force which defended the bridge that
Col. Davis carried by assault, and that he fed
with his party, and was not taken until some
time after the rest of the rebel force had surren-
dered, and in consequence of the darkness of the
night, he was not recognized until the next day.
1t seems that Col. Magofin, having visited his
home and arranged his affairs, sent q messenger
recalling his parole, but instead of surrendering
himself as officers usually do, he left, and before
his messenger reached Sedalia, WASH the rebel
army and when the fight came on, feeling that
he deserved, and would probably receive, differ
ent treatment from those who had not forfeited
all right to be treated as prisoners ofwar, fought
desperately but unaYailingl3.
Gen. Pope refused to accept his parole, and
ordered him to be placed in confinement until
Gen. Halleck decided what disposition to make
of him. He is one of the most desperate and
Huscrupu.Ous Of the maraudeTs in this section,
and it is to be hoped that he will receive the
punishment his crime and forfeiture Of his parole
deserve.

AUDI ALTERAn PARTEsL-A northern paper

AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM-A northern paper
gives the following account Of the battle OF
Allegheny Mountain, in Western Virginia:
The affair at Cheat Mountain resolves itself
into this: that the rebels, before stationed at
Greenbrier, having withdrawn TO winter quarters
at the summit Of the Allegheny mountains, on
the road to Staunton, Gen. Milroy moved out
and attacked them with $500 men, and drove
them h~eadlong TO the other side, so that now
there is said to be no rebel force within thirty or
forty miles Of Cheat mountain. This achieve
ment becomes all the more brilliant when we
remember that the snow is from eight inches to
knee deep in that quarter, and that the rebels
supposed they had made their position all the
more i~mpregnable by destroying bridges, block
aiding the roads, and commanding al the APP
nroachts with their cannon.

THE UNITED STATES n MEXICo.-The
New York Tribune nretends TO give the details of
the papers transmitted to the u. S. Senate, last
week, by the State Department, concerning the
affairs with Mexico. Among these it says is a
project Of a treaty with Mexico, the provisions
of which are Of such Importance that it Is even
thought it would, if confirmed, lead to the with
drawal of England and France from the Spanish
alliance. The treaty, according to the Tribune,
provides that the Federal government shall pay
81, 600 600 to Mexico, to be applied to the salts
faction Of English and French creditors, and for
a grant to the United States of all commercial
privileges the adjustment Of outstanding debts
aud the right Of transit across Mexican territory
for troops and munitions of war. 1t is thought,
at Washington, that the treaty will be speedily
confirmed and sent at once to Vera Cruz.
