already taken place, at Springfield, between the

represented as being twenty thousand strong, and
wore approaching Springfield by four different
roads General Lyon, it is supposed, has nearly
six thousand troops, with two thousand at RoIla
with which he could be reinforced. He had no in-
trenchments, but relying on his fine artillery and
splendid cavalry, he WAS certain Of being able 10
maintain his position against the haf-starved and
poorly equipped rebel army that was marching up

We have been able to make number Of addi-
tons to our list Of secession journals printed in the
North and ~ it now stands it presents quite for
midable appearance. These papers have yarious
modes, covert and open, of rendering aid and COM
fort to the enemy, among which may be noticed
attacks on all the movements of the govern
ment, reiterated assertions that the admins
tration has shattered the constitution and broken
all the laws relating to personal rights and iiber
ties, an incessant cry for peace and a continued
bowling over what many of them term IAN nfa-
nous war" One of them, having become bold
and reckless, overstepped the bounds which eau
ton has marked out for the others, and was met
by an indignant people, who entirely destroyed
the whole concern, and forced the publishers to
seek safety in the county prison. We refer to the
Office Of the Democratic Standard, of Concord,
~ H., which was demolished by mob on the
sth inst. We are no apologsts for such remedies
Tor evils of this kind and sincerely hope we shall
not again be called upon to chronicle similar
act If let alone, the most of those journals will
soon feel the necessity of changing their course,
and eventually they will be found in the ranks of
the Union forces. The following is the list
